Genre: Horror and comedy/Horreur et comedie

Annee/Year: 1991

Format: VHS

The Adams family. Once in a while we go back to the vault to dig up an older movie. This time I really outdid myself by digging up this 1991 classic to make my son discover this old flic. I donc think it has been published on Blu Ray yet but will certainly reaquire it once it does as well as the 2nd movie Adams family values. This movie has not aged a minute through the last 20 years. The dark gothic humor is still as fresh as ever and the scripts are really perfect. I love the interplay between Gomez and Morticia (Raul Julia & Anjelica Huston) they have to be one of all times greatest love story. As if this was not enough we have the children, It and the Thing to complete this family as well as Lurch the butler. No wait let us not forget Christopher Loyd (Back to the future) playing uncle Fester. OK VCS suck in quality but this one was not damaged by time. It did not stop us from enjoying this great film all the better. Hey kids you have to see this.

J'ai du retourne dans ma voute de cassettes video pour retrouver ce vieux film de 1991. Ca valait le coup car ce film n'a pas vieillit du tout. OK le VHS est pourri mais on a quand meme pu regarder ce classique sans trop d'interferences. J'adore le jeux entre les parents Adams: Gomez et Moriticia qui sont joue a la perfection par Raul Julia et Anjelica Huston. Les enfants, la chose et CA complete la famille sans oublier oncle Fester. Film genial, script superbe et mise en scene excellente. Faut revoir surtout les plus jeunes qui n'ont jamais vu cette famille originale.

great quotes:

Girl Scout: Is this made from real lemons?
Wednesday: Yes.
Girl Scout: I only like all-natural foods and beverages, organically grown, with no preservatives. Are you sure they're real lemons?
Pugsley: Yes.
Girl Scout: Well, I'll tell you what. I'll buy a cup if you buy a box of my delicious Girl Scout cookies. Do we have a deal?
Wednesday: Are they made from real Girl Scouts?

Gomez: [about Morticia] I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss.

Morticia: Children, what are you doing?
Wednesday: I'm going to electrocute him.
Morticia: But we're late for the charity auction.
Wednesday: But, Mother...
Morticia: I said no.
Pugsley: Pleeaaaase?
Morticia: Oh, all right.

Morticia: Don't torture yourself, Gomez. That's my job.

Morticia: And our credo: "Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc." We gladly feast on those who would subdue us. Not just pretty words.
