I had no idea of the name of the film, but I remember those bins - and the Penguin Cafe Orchestra soundtrack!

I love the aliens movies like few other things, but the emotional range of the Gremlins makes them my choice

favorite is the T-rex by far, but all the dinos deserved recognition so i voted the dinos.

Movies need to go back to proper props, that the actors can interact with.

The rain in Jurassic park caused the T-rex to act a differently then intended. when they pushed the window out of the jeep, the screams were real terror, as the T-rex wasnt completly in control... heh.

Yeah, Yoda was never animatronic in the main series of movies.

I think Yoda was originally a puppet, then switched to CGI, then back to a puppet.

That’s one I’d love to include but its hard to tell what’s a puppet andan animatronic. There were others on the list that I had to exclude because they were a puppet not animatronic. Wouldn’t Yoda be a puppet not an animatronic?
