Miracle sur la 8ème rue Notations et commentaires
- richardstanton2432 avril 2026A heartwarming fairy tale and somehow pretty deep at the same time. Compare the way regular people handle a first-contact situation in this film to how a bunch of scientists and bureaucrats treat a.similar situation in Tarkovsky's Solaris.
- theicephoenix3 juin 2025Rewatching batteries not included after all these years feels like opening a time capsule of pure '80s magic. There’s a warmth to this film that hits differently now, like visiting an old friend who hasn’t changed, even when the world around them has. The story of a struggling apartment block and the tiny alien visitors who come to help still carries a surprising emotional punch. It blends whimsy, humor, and heartache in a way few family films manage to pull off. The practical effects hold up better than expected, and the little “Fix-Its” remain just as charming as they were when I was a kid, sparking that same wide-eyed wonder. What makes this movie special now is the way it makes me feel. There's a comfort in its optimism and kindness that’s rare in today’s cinema. It's not just nostalgia, though there's plenty of that. It’s the simple reminder that small acts of magic can still have a big impact. Nearly perfect, but not without a few dated moments and some pacing issues. Still, that doesn’t stop it from being an unforgettable comfort watch. batteries not included is a gem that deserves its spot in any nostalgic movie night lineup.
- mattcartlidge20 décembre 2025Shame it’s got swearing in it so not for kids but still a good film.
- CAMPSTHEATERONE12 juillet 2025Pure magic
- Burnharm8 mars 2026It reminds me of a time when films didn’t need huge stakes or complicated plots to be memorable, just simple storytelling, genuine heart, and characters you actually care about. The movie has that “Amazing Stories” vibe, like a small, self‑contained fantasy that still manages to feel big emotionally. Watching it now gives you a rewarding, comforting feeling, because the decency of the characters shines through, and the whole thing plays like good comforting cinema.
- Callum5 novembre 2025⭐⭐⭐⭐ – batteries not included – Tiny Miracles in a Big, Bad City Some films age, others simply soften — batteries not included falls squarely into the latter. It’s a gentle, old-soul kind of story that wraps science fiction around humanity’s frayed edges, offering a warm dose of wonder in place of cynicism. Set in a crumbling New York apartment block on the brink of demolition, it follows a group of struggling tenants — each lost in their own small sadness — who find unexpected help from a handful of alien visitors the size of dinner plates. They’re not invaders, not conquerors — just tiny, mechanical good Samaritans who mend what’s broken: appliances, relationships, hope. The blend of practical effects and heartfelt storytelling feels like a time capsule from an era when magic didn’t need to be loud to be convincing. The humour lands softly, the sentiment never quite tips into schmaltz, and the sense of community that grows between human and machine is disarmingly sincere. Watching it now, decades later, it’s clear why it lingers. It’s not about aliens at all — it’s about kindness surviving amidst decay, about small things making a difference when everything else feels lost. It’s a film that hums quietly in the background of memory, glowing with the kind of optimism that modern cinema rarely dares to touch. ☕️ Pairing: A mug of hot cocoa — simple, nostalgic, and just sweet enough to remind you that comfort can be found in the smallest acts of care.
- mrpiccolo44426 février 2025Yeah... just make sure to cover your 9yos eyes in the scene where the one guy is painting the lady. But still a good movie. 😀
- Zokkiie1 mars 2026This movie is a wacky little ride with a ton of heart. The tiny alien robots are oddly adorable, and their antics are genuinely fun to watch. The practical effects give it a nostalgic, hands-on vibe that’s missing from a lot of modern films, and there are some surprisingly funny moments sprinkled throughout. The cast is seriously impressive. Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy bring warmth and charm, while Frank McRae and Elizabeth Peña add depth and personality. It’s a bit sentimental and drifts here and there, but the humor, heart, and quirky style make it a surprisingly delightful watch.
- James+Rodester2 décembre 2025Excellent movie for young and old
- setherwrist11 novembre 2025What a weird fuckin movie
- Richard19 octobre 2025Saw this one on a movie channel back in the late ’80s or early ’90s, during one of those cozy weekend slots when you’d stumble onto something unexpectedly magical. A group of tenants in a crumbling New York apartment block are being pushed out by greedy developers. Just when things look hopeless, tiny alien machines “Fix-Its” arrive and quietly start repairing lives, not just broken walls. It’s part sci-fi, part fairy tale and all heart. Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn bring warmth and dignity to their roles, anchoring the story in emotional truth. The supporting cast adds texture, from Frank McRae’s gentle giant to Elizabeth Peña’s fiery resilience. The practical effects are charming and surprisingly effective. The Fix-Its hover, blink and chirp with personality and the miniatures blend seamlessly into the lived in sets. You can feel the craftsmanship, no CGI shortcuts, just old school ingenuity. The film balances whimsy with melancholy. It’s about aging, loss and community, wrapped in a story that never feels preachy. There’s a comfort in its optimism, a reminder that kindness and connection still matter. I loved the concept and the execution. It’s the kind of movie that makes adult years feel nostalgic, hopeful and quietly magical.
- Dave Barnes18 septembre 2025A great feel-good movie, for kids and adults.
- zotflix1 avril 2025Practical Effects, great acting, fun story. Whats not to love about Jessica Tandy and tiny robots!
