Gremlins

The rules are as follows;

1) Don't get 'em wet (they don't like to bathe-hair gets all matted and stuff)
2) Don't feed 'em after midnight (that's local time, lets not get silly and start thinking about international zones etc.)
3) Don't let 'em out in the sun (even factor 30 won't help their tanning allergies)

So, one day in Kingston Falls, an inventor chap arrives home with a gift for his grown son, it's like a cross between a Care Bear, a cat and a Hamster...a Mogwai. It's very cute! Has a lovely singing voice too. Only problem being (or three), 1-it multiplies, 2-it changes into a skinny, nasty version and 3-it burns in daylight. All told, it's high maintenance for anyone. Probably why no one has one, except for the old Chinese dude at the beginning of the flick.

Cult doesn't quite cover this installment of 1980's cinema, spawning a sequel with Christopher Lee as a mad scientist, how can you go wrong?!

Budget: $11,000,000
Gross: $153,083,102

Fun Fact: A third is being heavily considered, in 3D and or CGI.
