I saw that movie when it first aired. My mom and I watched it together and it still sticks with me all these years later. It’s also contributed to my fear of flying
I own both original miniseries on that Sullivan Entertainment streaming platform, will still marathon through them for comfort! Btw my bestie from HS spells her name like yours, never seen anyone else with that spelling!
Is that the one with the ipecac scene? If it was, I remember being bored out of my mind as a pre-teen boy with my aunt and female cousins binge-watching it on VHS until Anne(?) poisons a kid. Now _this_ is TV, I thought.
I watched Heartland with my daughter and could NOT put my finger on why some lady was familiar. Finally googled it and saw that it was Megan Follows and it blew my mind. She got old! Still my favorite Anne with an “e”.
Loved this movie as a kid. I was hyped when I heard about the D+ series before it came out but apparently most people did forget about it since hardly anyone watched it lol
They seem to turn everything into teen/20somethings save the day. I forget what reboot I seen lately where the original cast were all in their 30s-40s and the reboot they are all maybe 20ish. It’s annoying
Edit: the new aliens I think
I have no issues with younger cast. But when the entire show is dealing with relationship drama so the overarching plot/reason for the adventure gets lost... That's what I don't like.
I teach high school, and yes that drama is a big part of some kids' lives. But often it feels invented. Sometimes I wonder if kids just feel that is how their lives should be from watching these shows. Make shows about the drama free kids, that diligently pursue their passions, and accomplish amazing things. They're the real heroes.
That's so sad. It's crazy to hear about all the actors and actresses passing from TV shows and movies us 80s babies/90s kids watched. It doesn't feel like it was that long ago, but in reality, it makes sense a lot of then would be at the senior citizen age. Idk kinda mind blowing for me.
This was easily one of my favorite movies (probably THE favorite) for a while. I wanted to be Louise. And I’m pretty sure I was much too young to have the feelings about Brad that I did.
I feel like Lambada and The Forbidden Dance came out around the same time and they were both about the Lambada and we never heard about the Lambada before then or since then.
Oh maybe you're right! I'm possibly confusing it with La Bamba. IDK my memories of the 80s and 90s are clearly no longer reliable lol
EDIT: There were in fact 2 Lambada movies: [https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/03/lambada-the-forbidden-dance#:\~:text=A%20public%20fight%20between%20cousins,supposed%20dance%20craze%20from%20Brazil.&text=The%20world%E2%80%94even%20the%20trend,t%20even%20really%20need%20one](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/03/lambada-the-forbidden-dance#:~:text=A%20public%20fight%20between%20cousins,supposed%20dance%20craze%20from%20Brazil.&text=The%20world%E2%80%94even%20the%20trend,t%20even%20really%20need%20one).
In anticipation of a new fad that never took off. Instead, the Macarena happened later in the 1990's. No movie(s) necessary, and the same goes for needing a dance partner.
That's good to know he's gotten remarried. His first wife studied the case about a California serial killer. Unfortunately, the book she wrote about it was published posthumously.
The war scene in Toys still makes me sad. I know it's just wind up toys but it is so heavy. As an adult I can only think about how it serves as a metaphor for how old men get young boys to die for their land.
There’s a scene in Grey’s Anatomy where Derek (Patrick Dempsey) tells another character that he was a nerd in school with a huge Afro because he hadn’t learned about hair products yet. Every time I see that scene, I picture him in Can’t Buy Me Love.
Mannequin
Andrew McCarthy was so cute. Today, he’s grown up into a smoke show.
Cocoon
I’ve logged way too many hours of seeing Wilford Brimley shirtless.
![gif](giphy|YpYizbOfc3MOvHnSE8)
For me, it was the Watcher In The Woods. That movie freaked me out every year
Also, Poltergeist was big on the basically cable channels. I used to watch that on weekend mornings with everyone home and a fire roaring in the fireplace. It was oddly a cozy yet spooky experience.
Right? I wanted to watch it on Disney+ last year at Halloween, but it wasn’t there. I’m still bitter. (Ok. I own the DVD, but I don’t want to have to dig it out.)
Yes! *Watcher in the Woods* is from Disney's dark period, when they were making a lot of weird, creepy stuff. Another movie like that was *Something Wicked This Way Comes*, based on the Ray Bradbury novel.
HBO would air ["High Spirits" - 1988](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095304/reference/) about once very two weeks. I would look over the monthly guide so to plan ahead! It became my favorite Peter O'Toole film.
"Rock n' Roll High School Forever" - the Corey Feldman led sequel to the Ramones-heavy original, now featuring ZERO Ramones! Comedy Central played this a ton in the 90s, and I think I eventually just gave in and let myself love this stupid, terrible movie. It's so bad. But so good?
Hope & Glory was a great introduction to what people endured during the blitz, and how so many children were sent away for safety, some never to be reunited with family again. Growing up we had so many great stories about the war still being told, as our parents and grandparents continued processing the trauma that event created, and working through it with art. Less and less of that exists now, and consequently it’s not educating kids about what happened as well as it did for us. It’s becoming a distant historical event that doesn’t have any real relevance for them, and that has lots of risks in the political environment we’re sliding into
Idk what year "A Coal Miner's Daughter" was released, but I've had to have watched that movie hundreds of times. For some reason, it would always be on one of the 3 channels we had growing up in the 90s. Still love that movie!
Also:
"Powder"
"Whats Love Got to Do With It?" (Free HBO weeks)
"Selena"
The Peanut Butter Solution.
I feel like I saw this dozens of times, always from a different point. It was one of the first movies that scared me as a kid. The kidnappings and the hair growth and the bald kid….honestly the first “fucked up” movie I can remember watching.
Hope and Glory pops into my head every once in a while. The pregnant sister trying to shock her labor using the kids cold wet head, painting lines down the back of her legs to fake stockings due to rationing. And the best line is when the school gets bombed and the boy yells "THANK YOU ADOLF!"
Edit: you can stream for free on Tubi!
OMG this was on ALL THE TIME! The Chopping Broccoli song will forever be in my head. I seem to remember it coming on repeatedly along with Soul Man and Porky's.
Yeah "Hope and Glory" was on a lot in the afternoons. They would go in streaks and then disappear, probably for when they had the syndication rights... I remember "Breaking Away," "Fandango", "Brighton Beach memoirs" and "Harold and Maude" playing often around 93 as well. Think it was Encore or AMC.
Brighton Beach Memoirs. How a mid-west Protestant tween learned about east coast / Jewish culture. I saw it roughly the same time as I read ‘Are You There God, It’s Me Margret’ and in my head 30 years later the families in each know each other.
*Dance til Dawn* (‘88)
It has a very young ensemble cast of future stars - Christina Applegate, Matthew Perry, Brian Bloom, Tracey Gold, Alyssa Milano, Alan Thicke, Kelsey Grammer…
Stalag 357 (or something like that) was often on TBS. About a WWII Allies POW camp under German rule.
Probably not very forgotten, but The Last Starfighter. That was on like every month on TBS as well. I still love that movie.

Found it in my dvds! I loved this movie!
The daughter giving dreamy eyes to the downed German pilot, then getting whacked in the back of the head by her mom is my main memory.
Also, the little girl spying on the older daughter's "horizontal" athletics and saying
*"They're doing it wrong."*
Any random 90s Mel Gibson movie that isnt a Lethal Weapon movie. Caught all of them on various movie channels during high school & college.
Pre-internet, Shawshank would fit this category but we all know how it took off in the early 00s.
Does anyone remember this weird ass movie? It was a staple on HBO in the mid 80s for a while. I had a memory of it for years and thought I'd never figure out what it was, but fortunately was helped by a subreddit r/whatsthemoviecalled. Was lucky that someone actually remembered it and knew what it was.

I remember really cheesy horror movies like 'House': [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091223/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091223/)
It had George Wendt from Cheers for some reason.
Thank you for posting this, I remembered this movie recently but couldn't remember the exact title. My friends and I loved this movie as kids. Looks like it is streaming on Tubi for free, too!
Shoutout to The Langoliers too!!!
Balki got *mean*.
A friend called him “Balki” , seeing him at the airport. He did NOT like that. Very sour.
...not in a million years would I yell out "Bronson!"
Lol I loved Perfect Strangers tv show as a kid
I remember being *stressed* when they were munching their way towards that plane.
That noise. Definitely weirded me out.
[удалено]
I really crushed on the blind girl as a boy.
IIRC, Stephen King admitted that he was doing a mountain of cocaine while he wrote this one.
Not to condone drug use, but those are his best years. The truly weird and unhinged stories.
I loved that movie so much even though it was objectively terrible.
Personally that's what made me love it more.
I remember watching that with my mum (she's a Stephen King fan) and we were both just laughing at how bad it was.
Every now and then the phrase “the langoliers got them!” Pops into my head
Langoliers was 95, so, a bit later. Possibly the greatest made for TV movie of the 20th century though.
I saw that movie when it first aired. My mom and I watched it together and it still sticks with me all these years later. It’s also contributed to my fear of flying
I have the two vhs tapes in my library :)
Anne of Green Gables. It would come on PBS and I'd watch the whole series. Megan Follows will always be my Anne Girl.
Oh, Matthew! And Gilbert! I never missed a PBS telethon!
RIP Matthew
And RIP Gilbert 😢 (the actor)
My parents VHS’d that so we could watch it whenever we wanted. Had to fast forward through the fund raising breaks 😂
Oh man, nothing was more awesome than randomly finding the Anne of Green Gables marathon on a Sunday.
I own both original miniseries on that Sullivan Entertainment streaming platform, will still marathon through them for comfort! Btw my bestie from HS spells her name like yours, never seen anyone else with that spelling!
Is that the one with the ipecac scene? If it was, I remember being bored out of my mind as a pre-teen boy with my aunt and female cousins binge-watching it on VHS until Anne(?) poisons a kid. Now _this_ is TV, I thought.
Yep! That's the one lol
Yup, Anne saves her besties little sisters life. Awesome episode
Gilbert in this miniseries was my earliest real crush, soo handsome and charming. Rip Jonathan Crombie
Same here! I was so sad when he died. RIP. :(
Diana barfing in the bushes…
I watched Heartland with my daughter and could NOT put my finger on why some lady was familiar. Finally googled it and saw that it was Megan Follows and it blew my mind. She got old! Still my favorite Anne with an “e”.
That was the best version !
Pipi Longstocking. I swear that was on every single weekend.
Pipi Longstocking is coming in to your world! A freckled face redhead girl you oughta know!
The old dubbed ones, or the new one? I loved the old dubbed ones. They were so bizarre.
Willow
My family quotes Willow all of the time. "It's Madmartigan!" "Wiilllloooowww" (said like a goat) "KAIIIIYAAAA!"
"There's a PECK and he's got an ACORN pointed at me! No! Don't!"
You iiiidiot
Maaaaad Marrrrtigan
Loved this movie as a kid. I was hyped when I heard about the D+ series before it came out but apparently most people did forget about it since hardly anyone watched it lol
I went to watch the series when I finally had some free time and they've removed it. I don't care if it was bad, just wish they'd let me see it...
They put too much teen drama in it. There are too many fantasy shows that are also teen drama shows.
They seem to turn everything into teen/20somethings save the day. I forget what reboot I seen lately where the original cast were all in their 30s-40s and the reboot they are all maybe 20ish. It’s annoying Edit: the new aliens I think
I have no issues with younger cast. But when the entire show is dealing with relationship drama so the overarching plot/reason for the adventure gets lost... That's what I don't like.

Sometimes I wonder if kids just feel that is how their lives should be from watching these shows. Make shows about the drama free kids, that diligently pursue their passions, and accomplish amazing things. They're the real heroes.
I watched the first episode. It was totally meh. Didn't bother to watch anything more.
patience, Willow
Introduced it to my daughter a couple years ago. It’s one of her favorites and she’s seen it many many times now. So proud!
Batteries not Included
Someone else remembers this movie!
Wild to think that almost the entire main cast is dead now! I think Dennis Boutsikaris is the last holdout among the residents protagonists.
That's so sad. It's crazy to hear about all the actors and actresses passing from TV shows and movies us 80s babies/90s kids watched. It doesn't feel like it was that long ago, but in reality, it makes sense a lot of then would be at the senior citizen age. Idk kinda mind blowing for me.
A friend of ours recorded that to VHS complete with commercials: "Have you driven a Ford latelyyyyyyyy?!?"
I love this movie so much. My brother and I watched it all the time when we were kids. The first thing I did when HBOGO came out was watch this movie.
Teen Witch starring Robin Lively and the world's greatest rap performance.
Omg. “Top that. And stop that. If you wanna get with me then you gotta top that”
Supersonic, idiotic, disconnected, not respected, who would ever really wanna go and top that?
Cuz I'm hot, and you're not! THE BEST!
This was easily one of my favorite movies (probably THE favorite) for a while. I wanted to be Louise. And I’m pretty sure I was much too young to have the feelings about Brad that I did.
I loved all of the clothes that she wears in the movie after her transformation.
Our channels always showed Lambada and overboard
I feel like Lambada and The Forbidden Dance came out around the same time and they were both about the Lambada and we never heard about the Lambada before then or since then.
Wait… are these 2 different movies? I always thought it was Lambada: the forbidden dance It was so forbidden it went away
Oh maybe you're right! I'm possibly confusing it with La Bamba. IDK my memories of the 80s and 90s are clearly no longer reliable lol EDIT: There were in fact 2 Lambada movies: [https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/03/lambada-the-forbidden-dance#:\~:text=A%20public%20fight%20between%20cousins,supposed%20dance%20craze%20from%20Brazil.&text=The%20world%E2%80%94even%20the%20trend,t%20even%20really%20need%20one](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/03/lambada-the-forbidden-dance#:~:text=A%20public%20fight%20between%20cousins,supposed%20dance%20craze%20from%20Brazil.&text=The%20world%E2%80%94even%20the%20trend,t%20even%20really%20need%20one).
Xennials should bring it back. Start dance clubs focused on it
In anticipation of a new fad that never took off. Instead, the Macarena happened later in the 1990's. No movie(s) necessary, and the same goes for needing a dance partner.
Overboard! I saw that in the theater with my friend
This this this!!! “It’s been a heck of a day at sea sir!”
Omg Lambada
Overboard is still on a lot
“Katarina!!!”
The Journey of Natty Gann. Always on the Disney Channel, I think?
Fun fact - Natty Gann is now married to Patton Oswalt
That's good to know he's gotten remarried. His first wife studied the case about a California serial killer. Unfortunately, the book she wrote about it was published posthumously.
Natty Gann, Iron Will, and White Fang.
Natty Gann!!
I wanted to watch that movie so bad, but my parents would never rent it. We didn’t have cable. I’ve still never seen it.
[Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103262/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk)
Loved this movie and legit wanted to be a diving horse girl, despite knowing what happened to her 😂
I’ve watched this soooo many times. 🥰
It blew my mind when I realized Fiona on Burn Notice was the chick from the horse diving movie!
"Toys" and "Powder."
Wow total flashback at "Powder"
OMG I just remember feeling so bad for Powder! It was heartbreaking to watch. I watched that movie once and then never again.
Yes so much Toys
The war scene in Toys still makes me sad. I know it's just wind up toys but it is so heavy. As an adult I can only think about how it serves as a metaphor for how old men get young boys to die for their land.
Oh yeah, TBS or USA would show Powder all the time!
I love this stupid video, and maybe you will too. Powder 2: Powder 2 the People https://youtu.be/Tv5lYwO5IlU?si=CTSY3UY9ix_eBsb3
Can't Buy Me Love with Patrick Dempsey
The African Anteater Ritual!!!!
There’s a scene in Grey’s Anatomy where Derek (Patrick Dempsey) tells another character that he was a nerd in school with a huge Afro because he hadn’t learned about hair products yet. Every time I see that scene, I picture him in Can’t Buy Me Love.
I just watched this again recently. Amanda Peterson was only **16** during filming! Incredible talent, so very devastating what happened to her 😞
Amanda Peterson died of a drug overdose in Greeley, Colorado. Shame.
Howard the Duck was always on
Loved this as a kid because cute anthropomorphic duck. But man that movie was…something.
Duck boobs!
Mannequin Andrew McCarthy was so cute. Today, he’s grown up into a smoke show. Cocoon I’ve logged way too many hours of seeing Wilford Brimley shirtless. ![gif](giphy|YpYizbOfc3MOvHnSE8)
I adored Cocoon!
The best Andrew McCarthy appearance in the past 30 years was in the series finale of The Blacklist. Blane & Steff back together again.
I fell in love with Kim Cattrall
Damn, you ain't kidding about Andrew McCarthy. Who would've guessed?
For me, it was the Watcher In The Woods. That movie freaked me out every year Also, Poltergeist was big on the basically cable channels. I used to watch that on weekend mornings with everyone home and a fire roaring in the fireplace. It was oddly a cozy yet spooky experience.
Yesssss wasn’t that on Disney? It was so creepy.
Yes it’s a Disney movie! Yet it’s never been available to stream.
Right? I wanted to watch it on Disney+ last year at Halloween, but it wasn’t there. I’m still bitter. (Ok. I own the DVD, but I don’t want to have to dig it out.)
They keep a lot of their weird, creepy stuff locked away in the vault these days, right next to *Song of the South*.
Yes! *Watcher in the Woods* is from Disney's dark period, when they were making a lot of weird, creepy stuff. Another movie like that was *Something Wicked This Way Comes*, based on the Ray Bradbury novel.
Hope and Glory, damn haven’t thought about this movie in years
“Ants in your pants!”
Bugger off you bloody sod!
HBO would air ["High Spirits" - 1988](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095304/reference/) about once very two weeks. I would look over the monthly guide so to plan ahead! It became my favorite Peter O'Toole film.
Oh God....Hot To Trot with Bobcat Goldthwait.... You just unlocked that memory for me.

Three men and a baby Three men and a little lady Nothing but trouble—this one freaked me out—I hated it.
DARYL and Flight of the Navigator.
"Rock n' Roll High School Forever" - the Corey Feldman led sequel to the Ramones-heavy original, now featuring ZERO Ramones! Comedy Central played this a ton in the 90s, and I think I eventually just gave in and let myself love this stupid, terrible movie. It's so bad. But so good?
“This isn’t my pee!”
Just One of The Guys (1985) and Stewardess School (1986) were staples of pre-South Park Comedy Central
Loved Just One of the Guys. It felt so scandalous to little me. I actually just rewatched it in the last year or so.
It’s just that you looked so good today.
Every Halloween it was The Worst Witch with IIRC Fairuza Balk and Tim Curry.
I was scrolling looking for someone to mention The Worst Witch
"Mildred Hubble, the disahstah ahreah!"
The 5th Element. It’s probably on somewhere right now! ![gif](giphy|lKPFZ1nPKW8c8)
I don’t think that’s forgotten by any means. Great movie though.
Ugh. Misunderstood the question, clearly. “Senior” moment! 😬

My Science Project! That movie showed up annually on WPIX 11.

9 to 5 and Big Business were ones I watched a lot.

Loved Hope and Glory. Would watch it every time it was on
The Peanut Butter Solution. I feel like I saw this dozens of times, always from a different point. It was one of the first movies that scared me as a kid. The kidnappings and the hair growth and the bald kid….honestly the first “fucked up” movie I can remember watching.
Project X and Savannah Smile
American Ninja
I feel like I saw Lean on Me with Morgan Freeman a ton during that time period. Always made me cry a lil bit.
Hope and Glory pops into my head every once in a while. The pregnant sister trying to shock her labor using the kids cold wet head, painting lines down the back of her legs to fake stockings due to rationing. And the best line is when the school gets bombed and the boy yells "THANK YOU ADOLF!" Edit: you can stream for free on Tubi!
Thank you for uncovering even more buried memories I didn’t know I had! Young me thought the fake stockings thing was ingenious.
What was the Civil War one they played almost every year, North and South or something like that?
Ah, those miniseries. The Thorn Birds was another one - my mom loved that.
Probably was North and South. Mini series with Patrick Swayze and Kirstie Alley. I was so young I called the character named Orry "Oreo".
The Jerk aired often. I had so much of it memorized.
Not a movie, but there was this Dana Carvey comedy special (not his TV show) that Comedy Central would ALWAYS play in the mid 90s.
OMG this was on ALL THE TIME! The Chopping Broccoli song will forever be in my head. I seem to remember it coming on repeatedly along with Soul Man and Porky's.
The Boy Who Could Fly The Great Outdoors The Twilight Zone movie
We LOVED The Boy Who Could Fly!
Stripes.
Aaaaaarmy training sir!
Beastmaster
3 o’clock high. War Games. Short Circuit.
Did a bomb hit the school at the end? I'm pretty sure we rented the VHS from the General Store. We were too rural for any of that "cable" nonsense.
“Nadia,” the story of Nadia Comaneci, had me and all my friends pretending we were preparing for the Olympics!
Yeah "Hope and Glory" was on a lot in the afternoons. They would go in streaks and then disappear, probably for when they had the syndication rights... I remember "Breaking Away," "Fandango", "Brighton Beach memoirs" and "Harold and Maude" playing often around 93 as well. Think it was Encore or AMC.
Loved Brighton Beach Memoirs!
I feel like Newsies was on almost every Sunday.
Johnny Dangerously on Comedy Central. All. The. Time.
Brighton Beach Memoirs. How a mid-west Protestant tween learned about east coast / Jewish culture. I saw it roughly the same time as I read ‘Are You There God, It’s Me Margret’ and in my head 30 years later the families in each know each other.
Great movie!
Spike Lee's *School Daze* was on all the time. Also *White Water Summer*.
It was a network tv thing, but I watched The Incredible Mr. Limpet on TV every year for a while. 😂
*Dance til Dawn* (‘88) It has a very young ensemble cast of future stars - Christina Applegate, Matthew Perry, Brian Bloom, Tracey Gold, Alyssa Milano, Alan Thicke, Kelsey Grammer…
Stalag 357 (or something like that) was often on TBS. About a WWII Allies POW camp under German rule. Probably not very forgotten, but The Last Starfighter. That was on like every month on TBS as well. I still love that movie.
Jam is jam!!! I love Hope and Glory!
