Yeah, you heard me right, Flight of the (freakin') Navigator. I love this movie, haven't seen it in a long-long-long time though, and I'm not sure if I want to. It's one of those memories I like and don't want it to be ruined with a reality check. Anyways, with that aside, for those who haven't seen this movie, it's good. It's about this kid that ends up in space and gets a friend alien on the way, follows fireworks home in his spaceship, gets sent to the future or past (can't remember - but it made Donnie Darkos trip through time look like a cake walk), hides in a robot, talks to some hot scientist lady fan, lives in a beach house, has a dog - as you can tell I have no idea about the plot, and I don't care. Any of you remember this movie? What did you think? This could be considered groundbreaking as far as special effects go, right?

Like you, it's been a long time since I've seen it, but I loved it, too.
Great movie, and I especially liked Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) as the voice of the spaceship.

What was that film that had, "Johnny #5 is alive" or something like that. That film was sad. It had the indian guy who was smart as crap, the robots danced with the girl, some dork tried to beat Johnny #5 down with a baseball bat. The robot escaped from something I think. You know what I'm talking about?

Then the robot tries to kill a techno-phobic cop that wears 2035 in-style Chuck Taylor sneakers. Though in order to save the cop and intervene with the evil robots's plan. The cop's future robotic son D.A.R.Y.L. sends
his twisted creation (T-800 Model 101)... Haley Joel Osment or his name is David to the past. Anyshiste David and this little Teddy Ruxpin bear have to stop the evil Chuck Taylor theivin' bot before he kills the cop. Sad ending to a bad sequel... David fails, Teddy explodes to a billion pieces, and the cop dies. In part two they make the cop better, stronger, faster to a better bionically enhanced super cop (with Chuck Taylors). Also a Full Auto Machine Pistol Gun pops out of his leg when he is in trouble... or happy!
Flight of The Navigator was quite an enjoyable movie, it still is too. I got it somewhere at home on VHS, maybe I'll watch it again one day... if I can find it...
To me, the best part is when the spaceship dances to the Beach Boys "I Get Around"... Makes me laugh just thinking about it.
