*batteries not included (1987) Trailer

[GlennRoxWyo]

LOVED IT!!!

[cancerman50]

Steven Speilberg did the impossible. He took your usual UFO genre and turning it into a very touching story. Name one other movie that does this.

[chloelogsdon]

still watching this in 2012.

[Calderoh]

YAY! I found the title of this movie.. the second I read it was Batteries not included.. i jumped like a kid again!!

[LiezerZero]

Thumbs up if you think they should do a remake of this movie.

[1aMattes]

@LiezerZero remake would make it worse :-) i remember me crying when i watched this as a kid. This and Johnny no 5 > WALL*E

[tannalv]

@1aMattes I agree. They don't make movies like they used to...

Remake would just give it a more "plastic", "made in China"-feel.

[DwightKoh93]

This movie was so touching! :D

[730clique]

Classic one

[JoshuaBman]

Trailer of the day!

[cullyvan]

Apart from Et and mirk and mondy and alf and that one with simon pegg and some others

[cancerman50]

Speilberg did the impossible. He took the usually UFO story and rewrote it to make it into an emotional story. No other UFO movie does that.

[7xXSE7ENXx7]

Woah i found it. Man im gettin old =(

[GabriellaGear]

This is one of the most underrated movies, Spielberg made. I first saw this on TNT, LOL. I love it, its not all warn out like E. T. is. :)

[gandy74]

This is a very heartwarming movie...it plays like a cinematic version of an episode of Steven Spielberg's "Amazing Stories".

It's too bad we don't see this kind of movie anymore where the main characters have actually qualified for AARP membership.

[xeadm]

tate brought me here.

[flopsytalbo]

i remember this movie but i thought it was a dream because i dreamed about it

[ryanapple1111]

I was obsessed with this movie when I was a kid and its one of the only movies that I liked as a kid that I still like now.

Some other movies seemed so kool as a kid but I watch them now and I feel embarrassed in a lonely room. Example: The Gate lol.

[Tmcoke]

@ryanapple1111 i remember the gate that crap was so freaky ahahaha :)

[TURBODORK2]

wwho is the guy that does the voice over on movie trailers back then its ALWAYS THE SAME voice

[andmaketherain]

In a world...

[GundroidAndroid]

I've been trying to remember the name of this for six years. Thank you youtube. Thank you.

[hermesmata]

I looooooooved this movie, in Latin America was known as "Milagro en la calle 8", wonder if might be out there to see it again!

[oldmandefranco]

@Phillyd and I enjoyed this movie when he was a kid and I was younger!!! still like it ! what about you? Batteries Not Included was an instant classic for me!!!

[Basackwrds]

props to TD9001. he caught that, too.

[Basackwrds]

Apparently James Horner was in a bit of a rut because he reused the main movement in "The Land Before Time" a year later in 1988. Still love Horner though.

[LostHatProductions]

just seen this movie. bought it for £3. very differant to what i expected. loved it.

[Wubnig]

I'm 21 and this is in my top 5 best childhood movies, I just gravitated to this film as a kid.

[AmazonPK]

Spaceships... from a small planet! *Very* small...

Love that line! :)

[GeneralChurch]

It was release the same day I was born and I still think this shit is funny as hell

[jesussavest]

This could be so Amazing with todays special effects.

[Nonnel81]

I love this movie! It includes so many lessons in life, like compassion, friendship, love... beautiful!

[TD9001]

lol, the music uses an excerpt from 1988's "The Land Before Time". I guess James Horner decided to recycle that one.

[bobbycorwen]

BRAD BIRD IS WHY!

[bghann]

@ALL. Maybe if you watched films other than sci-fi and action, you would realize that film has not gone anywhere. Eg. Black Swan, True Grit, Kings Speech, the Fighter, all amazing movies. I agree that CG has diluted the craft of some movie genres, but just don't watch them. Just like how I don't listen to the radio and expect to hear the Beatles. Times have change and so must we to find the true art of film. 'Block-Buster' movies are for the mass audience and are obviously going to be lame.

[archangel385]

@bghann You are 100% correct, there are so many good movies today, people just need to know were to look.

[robhere1982]

@bghann Don't buy that at all. I watch movies from every genre, I'm a movie lover and have studied every decade. Those movies you mentioned were big disappointments, they were well made granted but simple-minded and totally lacking in soul which seems to be a deliberate agenda now. Great movie making is gone, you do get the odd good 1 every few years but anyone who thinks there is plenty of great movies being made every year is either deluded or completely barinwashed by mass media propaganda.

[euphfellowship]

Ahh the oldie 80's...I'm still not sure why movies starring 70-80 year olds was so popular back then...

[gandy74]

@euphfellowship Perhaps it had something to do with the appreciation certain writers and film makers had for some of these great stage actors LIke Cronyn and Tandy and wanted to create vehicles for them. Also, since Hollywood hadn't yet totally learned the under 25 crowd was the most exploitable it was still making movies that might appeal to all age demographics. I remember as a kid seeing E.T. in the theater with my grandma and there were all age groups present. Haven't seen THAT in forever.

[Cml725]

Love this movie!

[rainbwprincess18]

This was the best movie ever! I was 2 when it came out and I still love it!

[JUGGALOMETAL80]

i got this dvd this week and watching this again for the first time in awhile

[2braindamage]

i remember this movie...now to go out and find it .....thanks

[BOWTOTHEGREATLEGEND]

I grew up on this movie and I still love it to this very day...

[mannydeguzmanjartist]

The reason why the 80's is much better when it comes to film making is because everything was new and unexploited. Today, technology has come a long long way that film makers cannot think of something new aside from 3D animations which replaces human actors. In the past, imagination and creativity comes to work in miniaturization like what Universal Studios used to do. Now, all we have is computer manipulated ideas...

[Terminchiator]

@mannydeguzmanjartist 0_o computer manipulated ideas? i just say that creativity is dead nowadays, MAYBE because computer graphic sells better, it's like appliance, cars, videogames and people too, nowadays a new thing is just the same thing with a fairly later expiration date and a new color scheme

i agree, the eighties were cool for the movies and other things

[JonathonYing]

@mannydeguzmanjartist I would say ideas expressed with computer power... not "computer manipulated ideas"

[n987]

@mannydeguzmanjartist Its not that technology makes movies "bad" the main reason that movies nowdays suck so much is because directors think that they can compensate bad story telling with good special effects. In the 80's directors knew how to compensate for that, they balanced good a storyline, great acting and good special effects. A good example of that is James Cameron and the way he produced Avatar. ^^; Well... that's my opinion anyways.

[mannydeguzmanjartist]

@n987

I'd have to say that traditional hand crafted sets and unexploited real human actors are the best. These are real Intellectual Properties of Fine Arts and traditional artists. Real puppets like that of Jimmy Henson's is better than today's 3D animation. Traditional Cartoons by Hannah Barbera and original Disney's hand crafted ideas (frames by frame hand drawn) are way better than Pixar's 3D animation. Hydraulic sets/ machines of Universal Studios like that of Superman is by far the best.

[Pekeno201]

@mannydeguzmanjartist I agree that some hand drawn cartoons are far better than what we get today, people got lazy. Disney lost it's purpose, it dosen't compare nowadays. The special effects back then aren't better than todays, that's a very deluded idea, but a great movie is not about special effects. And Pixar brought amazing movies, they are nearly flawless, which is impressive by today's standards, tell me Toy Story didn't charm, animation, the characters, the music, the plot.

[robhere1982]

@mannydeguzmanjartist You're 100% right. I'd like to think I'm still young but I've given up on today's 'escapist' movies. 3D & CGI looks awful, it's flat and actually 1D. It's sad to see people here saying the FX now is better, they must be soulless. Some 'cool' 'dude' sitting at a high powered PC punching in numbers will never equal the craftmanship of 80's movies. Even the music now in movies is cheap & shooting Digitally is another problem..the list is endless. Movie magic is gone forever.

[mannydeguzmanjartist]

@robhere1982

Because as a traditional artist, I still find the works of Renoir, Rembrandt, Botticelli, Da Vinci, and other Masters as true works of arts, just like old Hanna Barbera better than Pixar, LoL! These are priceless jewel that has not been exploited overtime, and has been authenticated and followed for a decades!

[Pekeno201]

@n987 I agree 100%. Look at Sanctum, movie used same technology as Avatar yet everything else besides the special effects are just incredibly bad but it still made millions. They focus so much on special effects becasue it's much easier than to be creative. That's why such a high percentage of the movies that come out, are remakes of classics with better special effects that don't even come close to the quality of the original versions. It's sad, hollywood blows.

[AzaryIT2020]

I loves this movie! All alien robots look cute!

[BardAlgol]

I saw this at about 7, hadn't thought about it in ages. Then a few weeks ago I had a dream that featured the little UFOs from this movie, now I found it for sale reissued on DVD! LOL

[belgamsafn]

@BardAlgol Same thing happened to me man, guess it stuck in my subconscious somehow. had a dream about it and started asking everyone till today somebody told me the title

[JonathonYing]

@belgamsafn me too!!!

[dergreat]

I'm so glad my teacher showed it in class, i love this movie. 80's movies awesome have had the best storylines :D

[movienaut]

my parents says that I allways cried when they didnt show me this film once per month. This was my favorite in my childhood and is number 33 in my personal top 100 favorite and good movies of all time!

Nothing what Hollywood did today can compare with the eighties!

[Valefragola]

Great Film!!! I was just 3 years old when it came out! In Italian the title is :"Miracolo sull'ottava strada" (Miracle in the 8th street)! I love it

[Terminchiator]

@Valefragola Me lo ricordo ancora anche se sono passati più di 10 anni, adesso lo sto scaricando

[exitplan2]

everone thinks there time was the best 70s 80s 90s whatever all i know is right now kinda sucks.

[jennyperusa]

Does anyone know what is the name of the Theme Song and who sings it? THanks!

[aljihealjihe]

one of my favorite movies when a was a kid, i also forgot the name, but now i found it

[Riko1980]

@aljihealjihe for the longest time I didn't know the name of this movie either , even though I watched it from beginning to end .

[diego8rojo]

i think that was what they were going to name the chucky movie

[Nullstr1ng]

my favorite movie! I finally found it!! am 27 years old now and I think I have watched this a dozen of times in VHS when I was a kid

[Rapist4u]

Great movie

[Saranm25]

can someone tell me the name of the song playing in this? I think it might be from Land Before Time but I'm not sure and it's starting to drive me nuts! I'd appreciate it if someone can tell me what it's from!

[lilcoffeebandit]

@Saranm25 hey i thought the same, but the soundtrack to this film is by James Horner, the same guy who composed Land Before Time. This track sounds very similar to one piece in LBT!!

[Chazy22221]

j'adore ce film, pourtant il est vieu, mais j'adore !!!!

[Mufasathegodlion]

Watched this film when I was about hmm, 7 or 8? Im 11 now. It was such a cute movie. Very sad too. I love this movie so much.

[shallwethen]

I wasn't even alive for the 80s but why do you think my generation is trying to get back in touch with it. Whatever happened to this sort of skill and imagination?

[robhere1982]

@shallwethen I wish you were right but I see no signs of it. Look at the views a 'PG' porno video from katy perry or gaga gets here on utube, it's sad. Look at the trash at the box office that is breaking records now... 1D Xbox movies like Avatar & witless smut like The Hangover. No, i don't think this generation dream, they want an 'omg' fix & to be moved below the waist. Hollywood knows this, silly parents don't give a fuck. Nice to know you have a soul ( maybe ) but the rot set in long ago.

[shallwethen]

@robhere1982 Isn't that what this movie is all about? The world was never such a grand place that chaos and upset didn't exist. It's always been there, in one light or another. So who are you going to be?

[JoseWiiSantos]

FINALLY! i FOUND IT! I loved this movie as a kid but i didn't know the name.

[julis66666]

i love this movie

[1andonlyCilla]

Luv this movie!!!!!

[mokechan]

This was one of my favorite movies when I was little. I always thought (And still do) the robots were cute, and I remember wanting one of my own. xD Nostalgia is wonderful. :)

[sinnedyat86]

An old classic...

[TinkerbellPixie25]

I looked this up on youtube to see if the movie was on here, but it's not, can anyone upload the movie?

[nsa5015]

@TinkerbellPixie25 Youtube has recently turned corporate.... sooner we will not be seeing any movies or videos. Youtube sucks now hopefully someone will start a new one

[jschapek]

the dvd's $6 on amazon

[JuliusCaesar108]

Asking for the movie to be uploaded on YouTube is asking for copyright infringement. Even though it's an old film, the corporates would shut it down.

[kramnrublaw]

@JuliusCaesar108 Oh please. Do you know how many older movies are currently on Youtube? Quite a few. Lookup "Fovever Young", "The Mighty Ducks" (1 and 2) and "Heavyweights". These are just a few of many older movies currently on Youtube. It is infringement, but Youtube doesn't seem too concerned if you ask me. They way they remove movies seems awful sporadic to me. They could easily remove every film if they wanted, but still, many remain.

[kramnrublaw]

@JuliusCaesar108 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (1 and 2) are a couple more movies that come to mind. Both can be watched (in full) on Youtube.

[JuliusCaesar108]

@kramnrublaw Thanks, I'll look those up and force YouTube to shut them down by sending them cease and desist letters - I own the copyright to those films. Do you know how difficult it is to think of all the films that are infringed here?

In all seriousness, I remember this one clip I used for ESL class, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from Judy Garland, in HD quality. Apparently, the owners of the Wizard of Oz hate the technology of YouTube because it got shutdown serveral months later.

[mihawk1]

just saw this on netflix and put it on my list after 1 hr of trying to remember the name.

[leighaanncianciolo]

I know how you feel...

[lindabosch1]

the best

[Pokygirl2001]

We had Batteries Not Included and Short Circuit on one video tape. Watched it for hours, and hours, and hours!

[lapatoa]

WOW!! i watched this the year it came out at a movie marathon...wonderful memories..80's ROCK!

[quidproquo2004]

This and Short Circuit were some of my favorites movies growing up.

[plzMFwakeupmyhumanz]

i just loved this movie when i was young i use to watch it over & over again along with all the back to the futures. good! gooooood! times!

[MissesPattinson]

0:55 sooo cute x3

[bunglecraigavon]

brilliant film

[an3sthetize]

i was 2 years old when that movie poped up and i belive the first time i saw it, it was when i was 5 or 6... time flies~

5!

[titortizjr]

5 stars!!!

[lonnyca1]

I believe i was 22-24 years of age when this flick came out. HBO cable was 12-15 years old at the time. This film played something like 3 times a month along with other shows of course. This one in fact was one that I can recall watching the most. 80's films meant something, and this film is a prime example of why that is. Todays hollywood to me is crap and will never equal what the 80's brought us.

[Pyroscopy]

I agree, nothing compares to the EIGHTIES!!!!

[realjuvelive]

@Pyroscopy maybe and seventies!

[Pekeno201]

@lonnyca1 I agree, most of are remakes of old classics or foreign films that usually don't come close to what the originals are. They are remaking everything focusing on one thing, and one thing only, the special effects. It's sad and pathetic.

[smokingplates]

@lonnyca1 that sounds like your parents ??? music today movies today . i think you just got old there buddy and you are now cynical its sad i will try to welcome all new foems of expression as i get older

[TVMeusPensamentos]

Man, I watched this movie when I was a child! I love it!

[santoyo85]

i cried with this movie, i was 7 years; when the bad guy claims to the grandma that he isn´t billy or something

[Pyroscopy]

Yeah so did I, I loved this movie along with Short Circuit and Honey I Shrunk The Kids

[ZdravoPuschel]

0:55 <3 I first saw the movie when I was 3? 4? I don't know exactly but I loved it. Recently I watched it again and now I love it again it's the cutest film I've ever seen I totally love the "robots" specially the babies omg I love the movie!
