Thirty-two years after renting *Hocus Pocus* from Movie Gallery, I'm revisiting the Sanderson sisters, childhood crushes, talking cats, and Halloween nostalgia. Does Disney's 1993 cult classic still hold up, or is nostalgia casting its own spell? Find out in Throwback Thursday #14!

Critics hated it, audiences stayed away, and I couldn't care less. Death to Smoochy remains my favorite comedy ever made, thanks to Robin Williams going completely off the rails, Edward Norton playing the world's most sincere fuchsia rhino, and one very unfortunately shaped batch of cookies.

Tubi is still the best deal in streaming. This week we've got a contemplative drama about faith from 1959, a military comedy that's sharper than it looks, and a powerful German film about the fall of Berlin.

This week on Throwback Thursday, I review First Kid. It's one of those 90s Disney comedies that actually holds up. Sinbad is funny, the chemistry with Brock Pierce works, and the nostalgia hits hard if you grew up with it.

The Indian in the Cupboard had one of the best premises of any 90s kids movie. Toys coming to life as real people with real histories. It just never had the nerve to follow through on what it set up.

William Wyler directs Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in the film that made her a star. Charming, beautiful, and honest enough to skip the fairy tale ending. A perfect film.

Stanley Donen directs Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn in their only film together — a mystery thriller dressed up as a romantic comedy, and one of the most underrated films of the 1960s. The Audrey Hepburn Rewatch series rolls on, this time doubled up as the fourth Throwback Thursday feature.

Audrey Hepburn had a career that spanned five decades and remains one of the most timeless filmographies in Hollywood history. From Roman Holiday to Wait Until Dark, here are her five best films — plus honorable mentions and a few misses.

The Elder Son is a light comedy drama that asks very little of you and delivers a pleasant hour and a half in return. Great performances from Shane West, Leelee Sobieski, and a great Rade Serbedzija make it worth your time.

Walk All Over Me is a different side of Leelee Sobieski than most of her fans have seen. A scrappy Canadian crime comedy with a loose plot, genuine laughs, and great chemistry between its two leads. Better than its reputation suggests.

Leelee Sobieski had one of the most underrated filmographies of her generation. From Joan of Arc to My First Mister, here are the five best films she starred or co-starred in — plus a few that didn't make the cut.

John Wayne was reported to have been offered a part in Blazing Saddles. After reading the script he called back and said “I can’t be in this, it’s too dirty… but I’ll be first in line to go see it when it comes out.” Imagining Wayne in the Wilder role makes me glad he turned it down. The other casting question that often comes up is why Richard Pryor did not play the part of the black sheriff in the film. That one apparently came down to a studio call, which is unfortunate since Wilder…
