Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Oh, the Ninja Turtles...how they defined my childhood. Not only did I watch the cartoon, but I also played with the action figures (before they gave way to GI Joe or X-Men or something) with my brother. The movie version is great in that nostalgic way that makes you remember how much fun it was to see it for the first time. The puppet work is not spectacular, but in the context of 1990, it wasn't bad. The lines are sort of cheesy and the characters aren't hugely dimensional, but it's a movie that makes you laugh and reminds you of great times. Also, creator Kevin Eastman went to my high school.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
And it reminds me of all the related trips to Toys R Us!
