Jumanji (1995) "Are you game?"

Ooh, I love this movie! I own it on DVD. xD I don't care how fake the spiders look, I still hate watching that part. Sometimes I completely ignore it.
 
This movie is a childhood movie that will never get old! When I first saw it years ago, I was first really scared because of all the things that happened whenever the dice was rolled, but now I'm not anymore. Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt both give great perfomances!
 
Jumanji. OMG. I love this movie. I remember when it came out, I wasn't allowed to watch it, because my mom thought I'd get nightmares. :lol: but then I just went with and saw it with some school friends. and it did scare me. haha.

and then my friend got the board game, and we kept thinking that one time we'd get sucked into the game. man my imagination was way too overactive. and then they made a jumanji cartoon for tv, it was lame.

ahh I miss childhood. everything was so much simpler then.
 
Oh I know, it scared me too when I was little, with the monkeys and those spiders.
 
That part when Alan comes back is very heartbreaking, wondering where his mom and dad are. And when that man in the factory tells him he still sees the Parrish's from time to time, and Alan goes to see it's their graves, so sad.

I laugh so hard when Carl sees the 3 monkeys go by on the motorcyle, when he's handcuffed to the police car, while Alan's driving, his reaction is priceless! :lmao:

I agree, it was great how it let them have the childhood they had originally missed out on, yet kinda cool they were able to remember everything that had happened, so they could change some things. Like Judy and Peter's parents dying, Carl being fired, the factory going-under, and so many losing their jobs.....
 
Aaw, Jumanji! I hadn't seen this or thought about it in years, and then it was on tv a couple of weeks ago, and it totally took me back to my childhood. It's such a great family movie, entertaining, funny but also a little bit frightening! I really enjoyed it :nod:

I remember the spiders creeped me out too, but that's because I have a MASSIVE phobia of them. Honestly if that ever happened to me, I'd go crazy screaming. The lion used to scare me too, just the idea of there being this huge, powerful predator stalking through your home *shudders*

Randomly, I really loved the bit when the little boy runs to the shed to get the axe, and picks it up without realising to break open the door, before it hits him that he has it, and he turns to the camera for a second with a blank look on his face before running back into the house :lol: Breaking the fourth wall was a bit obscure for that kind of film, but it added a little moment of humour among all the madness!
 
That bit was really sad. I'm glad that once the game finished, it decided to reverse everything that had happened! It would've been too cruel to just leave him and Sarah as adults, having missed their entire proper childhood.
