    This movie captures the magic of playing with your friends when you’re a kid like no other. Even the relatable ending, where some of the kids go their separate ways as time moves on, except for a few that stay lifelong friends.

    I love how whenever they were scared of the dog, they showed like a fake dog like a puppet dog that was terrifying, that’s how the kids depiction of it, and then when they actually get to meet Mr. Myrtle, and actually get to meet the dog to be nice, it turns into a very regular sweet dog. I just like how they gave that perspective

    • @kelseym1876
      @kelseym1876 3 года назад +10

      Totally agree; I only realized watching it as an adult how many details are purposely exaggerated to really bring you into that perspective of a kid. Like, when the Beast is growling and shaking the fence, he was probably just barking but from their perspective, they were like "Oh man, I SWEAR he barked so loud the fence SHOOK!" Really amazing filmmaking; I forgot how much I love this movie!

He has always had this thing where he tried to find inaccuracies in period movies from his day. Like the light switches on the walls and door knobs being in the wrong time…. He said this one was almost perfect.

    That tobacco thing is no joke as a young kid. My friends were 14 and tried a couple bandits each that we found in my friends dad’s car, and we had never had tobaccos alcohol or anything at this point in our lives. Right after we took them we went out swimming and body surfing at Salt Creek beach. We were all good swimmers and surfers, etc but once we got out past the break it hit. It was rare for me to be scared in the water but I was so fucked up by this crap that I thought I might actually drown. Our heads were light and spinning a bit, you get nauseous and you also get that weird body high that makes you feel a bit weak and oh man. The waves were probably only five feet that day but it may have well been 15. We didn’t really swim back in it was more like just tumbling in. Seriously sucked. So going on a spinning ride like those kids would be horrible. I already get sick on spinning rides, I can’t imagine being on tobacco for the first time. That’s all part of being a kid I guess, you out yourself in dumb ass situations sometimes, just the way it is. Or was. Kids don’t really seem to do much these days compared to us in the 80’s, but we also weren’t programmed like kids are today because of social media to be clones and do the same things, talk the same way , and have the same opinions. It’s crazy. I feel bad for them. They all lose their innocence so so much earlier then we did too because of the toxicity of the internet. Its too bad.

    Two recommendations came to mind while watching this, 1) Stand By Me (1986), and 2) Field of Dreams (1989). Field of Dreams because of the baseball theme even though it's a movie where actual baseball play isn't really what it's about. But baseball as an American past-time is definitely a theme and motivator for the plot. Stand By Me because of the similarly of the story being told about the character's past, his childhood. I feel like The Sandlot (1993) was definitely influenced by Stand By Me in the way it chose to tell its story.

I happened to own two females and my cousins adopted two males from the same litter. Saddet days of my life when they left me. These dogs change your life.
    Also, while very athletic (It easily could jump our Two-meter high fence), they enjoy to play, which is why it was a perfect choice for this movie.

    Bad News Bears (1976) is also a fun baseball oriented coming-of-age movie :) little crazier though since it was filmed in the 70's lol

    Scariest dog in the history of film? I think Cujo still holds that title

    This movie brings back memories! Another great classic in this same type of style is called Stand By Me! Highly recommended watch!!

    14:30 Benny (Mike Vitar) is in Mighty Ducks 2 & 3 as Luis. Kenny DeNunez (Brandon Quintin Adams) played Jesse Hall in The Mighty Ducks. So safe to say you should watch the Mighty Ducks Trilogy

    I've was terrified of dogs as a kid. This movie most likely caused it. The way they portrayed the dog in this movie is so horrifying for children, haha.

    Haven't seen this movie for years but it's nice that it holds up so well, even for people first seeing it as adults. Compared to the Goonies the more grounded story is just easier to believe and it really invokes those childhood summers perfectly

    @jeremiahbullfrog226 3 года назад +5

    I grew up watching this movie and remember being so scared of The Beast, and every time I get to finally see it in all it's glory, it's just a normal English Mastiff, and I'm like, "Oh yeah, obviously it's not actually a super sized monster."

    I loved this movie as a kid but for some reason I saw the sequel more than the first one. The dog was also a lot scarier to me when I was young, it felt like I was watching Cujo

    Squints telling the backstory of the Beast is still one of my favorite moments in movies.

  • @susanconstable2113
    @susanconstable2113 3 года назад +2

    Omg this movie is right up there with the goonies! You just can’t help but watch it when it comes on tv. “Holes” is another good movie along these lines of story telling.

    Being an avid baseball player growing up playing in my neighborhood 11:42 - 12:02 is one of my favorite scenes in cinema and why I always watch this movie on or around July 4th. Ray Charles’ America the beautiful makes it perfection.

    Watching the 4th of July sequence for the first time was one of the first times I thought that movies could mean more than just laughs. It showed cinematography, score, and story all in one.

    Bill is played by Denis Leary. He's a comedian, if you want to see a movie with him more in it, suggest you watch "Judgment night"👍

    @raymacdonaldcreations505 3 года назад +2

    There is also a "Sandlot 2" movie set ten years later... Same sandlot, different kids and a great updated modern story, although a few original familiar faces do return in the second movie.

  • @mountainbikemayhem1833

    Great childhood movie for anyone who grew up playing ball in a sandlot/grass field. Benny is a legendary character, but we all wanted to be Squints with Wendy ;)

    Heres a fan theory for you... After the events of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (which took place in 1938) Indy joins the military as an Intelligence Officer after WWII he meets back up with Marion in 1949 and in 1951 they have a son together name him Scott, Indy leaves in 1952 perhaps to serve in the Korean war and Marion decides change her name and meets Bill in 1961 and they move to Salt Lake City in the summer of '62....

    Fun fact: the dog Hercules is a English Bull Mastiff. Also the insult scene with the other baseball team was actually improv. An the actor who played older Benny is the older brother of the actor who played Benny.

    I think the progression is Stand By Me > The Goonies > The Sandlot. All great films, but certainly on a spectrum. A Christmas Story is in the middle of those nostalgia films too.
