Films of my Youth

Harry and the Hendersons

Working with the DVD collection here at the library has reacquainted me with some of my favorite movies from childhood. My early years were firmly planted in the 80s which means most of these films are known more for their nostalgia-inducement and less for artistic merit, but at that point in my life, all I wanted was to be entertained and these fit the bill perfectly.

  • Pee-Wee's Big Adventure - This was a classic in my house (although trying to incessantly laugh like Pee-Wee became strongly discouraged). I can still recite way too much of this movie. Until recently, I had no idea it was directed by Tim Burton.

Although it may not go down in the annals of history, February 3rd, 2012, marked a momentous occasion. After 60 years of being banned, Disney Parks "cast members" aka face-to-face employees may now sport a beard.

The change in policy allows neatly trimmed beards up to a quarter inch in length which doesn't mean they'll be joining the ranks of the seven dwarfs anytime soon but it is the biggest step against facial hair oppression since employees were allowed mustaches in 2000.
