Heavyweights

A much more under the radar movie that I loved when I was a child was Heavyweights.  This was a movie all about kids going to fat camp. The only problem was that the nice kind owners of the camp were bought out by Tony Perkis Sr the lighting fixture king and is going to be ran by Tony Perkis Jr. (Played by Ben Stiller). This movie was hilarious and it still makes me laugh today. The basic story plot is that Tony Perkis Jr. is an ego maniacal camp counselor. The kids then try to revolt and take over the camp for themselves and try to beat camp MVP which was all athletic kids in the Apache relay. Ben Stiller is hilarious in this movie and this movie is definitely underrated in my opinion. For everyone who has ever seen this movie they know all about the buddy system... BUDDAAAYYYY  If I can ever find it in one of the $5 bins at walmart I will buy it unfortunately I have still not found it but I will continue the search. I guess I could always order it from Amazon but that wouldn't be very 90's of me.

Home Alone

Another great movie I remember from the 90's was Home Alone. This was a movie about a kid who was left obviously home alone when his family left for vacation. This movie was and still is one of the funniest movies that I've seen just because of the things Macaulay Culkin's character Kevin says. It was really good because when I was a child I always wanted to stay home alone and this was like a guide to what I would do if burglars tried to break into my house. Granted if this ever happened in real life a child would not be able to stop them but it was nice to dream. They had a few sequels but really the only good ones were the first and second one with the same actors and actresses. I'm sure that everyone out there still remembers the "AAHHHHHHHH" scene when Kevin puts the aftershave on his face and it burns him. I used to imitate this all the time when i was a child.

Space Jam

One of my favorite movies as a child was Space Jam. This was an epic movie with the Looney Tunes and of course The greatest of all time Michael Jordan. This was not just a movie. They had so many other products that went along with it. I remember I had the whole bed set that went with it. I had the video game for playstation and I also had my own Tunes team jersey. The movie was great and was basically about aliens that came to earth and took over the bodies of some of the top NBA players at the time, (Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Shawn Bradley, Larry Johnson, and Muggsy Bogues). The problem for the aliens was that MJ was playing baseball at the time so they did not take his power. The aliens wanted to bring the Looney Tunes back home to their planet, Moron Mountain, and make them entertain them for ever. Well of course MJ and the the Tune Squad beat the aliens and save the world. That was a very short synopsis of the movie and I recommend everyone go out and watch it. I have heard talk of having a remake of the movie featuring either Lebron James or Kobe Bryant but no movie will ever compare to the original with MJ.
