    Does anyone here remember that movie, I saw it when I was really young, and I have searched video stores everywhere and I can't seem to find it, it has the original Herman Monster (Bolts in the neck) guy out of the old black and white version of the Adams Family in it, as the kids dad from memory, or friend, not sure, all I do know is I have a craving to see it again, just like the old condor man movie, but all the video stores here don't have it, would one of you guys be able to track it down, and even find a place to purchase it from? I would absolutely love to own it on VHS or DVD, it was one of those movies that made night time dreaming even more relaxing! I remember trying to fly around when I was really young after watching that movie, ended up dislocating my arm, having to have an operation to get it broken and reset! :cool

    The only time I had an op, and it was completely justified! :-D

    Hey EXOX3, thats a bit like a film my daughter watched when she was little, and she goes on about it now, it starred Jerry Lewis with a rabbit in it and he called the rabbit Mr Wooley, and i have tried everywhere to find out what the film is called !

    And,for myself, trying to track down a TV program from about 40 years ago called Automan. Guy carrying around a computerized ball of light that could do whatever he needed. Car? Climb in and drove around like Tron-cycles.

    Fred Gwynne was Herman Munster, from The Munsters, not The Addams Family.

    You bastiges over taking my thread, I outtah!!! :cool:major

    Nah, good movie that one, liked it alot when I was a kid, brings back the innocent days, making me feel warm and fuzzy inside! The Memory's!

    What are other films that you would put in the same class? you know what I mean, the movies you watched as a kid, that made you go to bed dreaming of being the main character and what you would do if it was you, especially the starting teens, for me, I remember going through puberty! man you get some WILD idea's going through that, not knowing what your going through at the time, makes it even worse!

    The boy who could fly, never ending story, condor man, honey I shrunk the kids, etc were my innocent childhood favourites! what's yours? their is a slew of movies that I haven't seen or even heard of, for instance, one of the most distrubing movies of my childhood was Bad Boy Bubby, australian movie, sick and twisted, but the cling wrapped cat was funny!
