The greatest film...... EVER - CONTAINS SPOILERS How can you not like this film?
You have cute and cuddly fuzzy things, cut but not so cuddly green slimy things, a Grandpa Munster wannabe who becomes the Wolf Blitzer of his time, and the greatest minute and a half ever recorded in cinema.
Personally I have the feeling that the director and producer of this flick were halfway through finishing, realized "this is SOOOO horrible" and set out to make it that much worse, making it even better.
And Tony Randall as the Gremlin who wants to be civilised? Fantastic! Give me the Geneva Convention as culture any day of the week.
And who will forget the climatic ending, with the aforementioned greatest 90 seconds on celluloid as the Gremlins, poised to unleash their antics on New York City come nightfall, sing "New York, New York" in the lobby before being utterly destroyed? A modern-day classic.
