Director Joe Dante’s playful 1984 film, written by Chris Columbus, is 30 years old now. The special effects may seem a little dated and puppetlike, but it’s all part of the charm – an attribute of which this movie, like its furry little creatures, have plenty. So long as you don’t get them wet, or feed them after midnight. Stars include Phoebe Cates, Corey Feldman and Zach Galligan – but for fun, watch for Breaking Bad standout Jonathan Banks as Deputy Brent, and listen for Howie Mandel, who provides the voice of cute little Gizmo.
