I just watched this for the first time in at least 22-23 years. What a great fucking movie. I appreciate it even more now as I did when I was 4 or 5. For those of you that don't remember it:
"Ben Crandall, an alien-obsessed kid, dreams one night of a circuit board. Drawing out the circuit, he and his friends Wolfgang and Darren set it up, and discover they have been given the basis for a starship. Setting off in the ThunderRoad, as they name their ship, they find the aliens Ben hopes they would find... but are they what they seem?"
Just a fun kids movie that most people of the 80's crowd should always have in their collection.
