These are my stats according to this:

Of course I get a lousy ability...Anyway, despite the criticism that Channel Awesome has received this past year, I'm still subscribed and enjoy the reviews. Because I was born in the 90's and Doug Walker was born in... probably the 80's, I didn't check before writing this and checking now... well we both have different sources of nostalgia. Essentially there's a lot of movies I think would be fun for the Nostalgia Critic to review that have not been touched yet. So I'm going to do like the critic and list a top 11 list of movies or TV shows that I think would make great NC reviews.#11. The Witches (1990)I'm putting this one at #11 because from what I remember, this was never a horrible movie. A recently orphaned boy moves with his grandmother to England and she teaches him everything he needs to know about witches. But when they stay at a hotel, he stumbles across a whole society of them and finds out about their horrifying plot to eradicate all children. The way the grandmother profiles witches is very creative and the 2nd half of the movie is pretty tense. However I still think it would be worth visiting because there's a few parts of the movie that drag on, are necessary or are not well explained. For example, was it really important to show the lead kid character's parents only to kill them off minutes in the movie? There's also witches with eye laser beams and a useless side character who's personality is eating.#10. Prehysteria (1993)The story of a brother and sister (I think) who accidentally get their hands on dinosaur eggs that quickly hatch into various dinosaurs and how they're trying to evade the big bad villain who wants them back following the mixup to make lots of money. I'm putting this one pretty low on the list too because while it is a 90's with a typical bad guy, strange dinosaur logic and meh stop motion animation, I don't think there will be a lot here for the critic to work with. It's pretty harmless from what I remember. Still, I think it would be worth revisiting. I actually owned and watched this movie when I was younger too, so I do have a slight nostalgia link to it.#09. Boogeyman (2005)This one I have a strange nostalgic link to it because while I've only seen it once, it was one of the first horror movies I've ever seen. Some guy who witnessed his father die at the hands of the boogeyman as a child is now unable to sleep without having each corner of his room lit by light. He is told by his counselor (I think) to spend a night in his old house to face his fears, only to find out that what he witnessed was not his imagination (which we already knew). I remember first visiting the official website which was a ton of fun and very scary on its own. There is a lot of stuff for NC to work with here, including the acting, the poorly paced story, the poor use of jumpscares etc. The problem is that this is a mid-2000's movie so not a lot of people will find this one nostalgic. I still think it would be worth reviewing.#08. Moomin (1990)This one would only work as a Raiders of the Lost Story Arc (RotLSA) series, similar to what NC did with Ducktales. This series follows the adventures of Moomin the troll, his friends Snufkin, Sniff, Snorkmaiden and Little My as they go through various adventures that range from flying a kite to sailing to an island inhabited by electric creatures known as Hattifateners. This is a very nostalgic cartoon not only for me but for lots of people. I'd like for NC to go over the first few episodes and hear his take on the imaginative (and slightly zany) adventures the residents of Moomin valley go through. Most importantly though, I want to hear his take on the disturbing images regularly seen throughout the show, notably Moomin's transformation and plea for help in episode 1 and OBVIOUSLY the Groke. I still can't believe she never made his top 11 list of scariest nostalgic moments.#07. The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996)Now we're getting to the serious stuff. This is anothr adaptation of the Pinocchio fairytale although it is live action. I remember seeing this movie's boxart appearing briefly in another one of NC's reviews and then wondered why he hasn't tackled this one yet. I remembered watching this movie a lot when I was younger, when I was obsessed with the story of Pinocchio. Looking back, I certainly remember this interpretation being not as pleasant as the Disney movie. Geppetto for one was not as likeable; he was not happy to see his puppet come to life, in fact he was more worried about being burned at the stake. The CG Cricket was also a bit strange and his humor looking back was very forced. And of course every time I watched this movie, I had to sit through another disturbing donkey transformation scene. There are still some redeeming qualities, like how the main antagonist and the "Monstro" of this movie have a connection that I won't spoil. But yeah, this is certainly one I'm looking forward to.#06. 102 Dalmatians (2000)I barely remember this movie, except that the main character is a dalmatian without spots and that the opening credits had a dog themed rap song (courtesy of Hollywood's obsession with rap at the time). Oh, and Cruela de Vil had undergone therapy to cure her obsession with spots or something. But this wasn't a sequel to the animated Disney film... this was a sequel to the live action film that came out in 1996 (which could also be a candidate for a review). The reason I'm putting this one over the first live action interpretation however is because it has a lower rating on Imdb and because I remember far less about it, meaning it was likely even less memorable. I don't know what NC can work with because of that, but that would be up to him anyway.05. Tammy & The T-Rex (1994)Another dinosaur movie that tried to cash in on Jurassic Park's success but with a much lower budget. After an encounter with some bullies, a girl's boyfriend is abducted by some villains who transfer his brain into a robot T-Rex. He must now find her and find a way to restore his mind into original body while also seek payback against the bullies. I remember watching this movie with my brother who's currently a movie critic, and boy was it a stinker. His theory was that this was originally going to be a more adult movie but they tried to censor some bits to make it watchable for kids too. However they didn't do enough of that as the movie still has some violence and mature subject matter, so it fails to appeal to kids. Funny bit of trivia, my brother tried to rent this movie as a kid and watch it but then my mom walked in on a scene where the main character and the bully are grabbing each other's scrotum so she stopped the movie and returned it. Except for one scene, the movie fails at being funny or charming, the acting is poor and the effects are terrible. The T-Rex in the movie was actually an animatronic to begin with but they could still have made it look less ugly. NC should really consider this one.04. Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend (1985)I promise this is the last dinosaur movie on this list. In this movie, a couple who are starting to consider becoming parents stumble upon a lost baby Brontosaurus and must guide it to safety through the jungle. This one is similar to the previous entry as it was probably meant to be a family film but it had some questionable subject matter in it. But it also deals with the big bad villains who want to hunt the dinosaurs, which is regularly brought up in NC's reviews. Simply put, I'd love to see him shred this movie to pieces.03. The Pink Panther (2006)This could either work as its own review or an old vs new battle. In this remake of the 1963 film, bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau must solve the murder of a famous soccer coach and identify the thief of the Pink Panther diamond. As a young teen, I thought this was the funniest movie ever made. The hamburger scene had me and my friends in stitches. I would probably still find it funny if I watched it again, but knowing NC he would criticize the movie's use of crude toilet humor and casting choices. A very nostalgic movie for me, but I heard it angered a lot of people who prefer the original, so this should be an excellent pick.02. Are we there yet? (2005)Now here's a real stinker. Some guy named Nick Persons wants to date this woman who actually has two kids, so to get on her good side he agrees to give her kids a lift to some place by car so she can reunite with them. But the two kids are trouble makers and they're going to give him hell. The first time I saw this movie I was already watching NC's reviews, and I could tell he would hate this one. I'm not good at judging someone's acting skill, but I'm betting this movie only stars Ice Cube because of his performance as a signer rather than an actor. The movie also rips off Home Alone because the kids have been seen setting up booby traps. There is use of some toilet humor which even I remember not being that funny. Most of all, it stars a very disturbing CGI bobblehead which I wish burnt in the fire at the end. The sequels are probably worst, but I think NC will suffer enough reviewing this one.01. Hercules and Xena - The Animated Movie: The Battle for Mount Olympus (1998)Finally, here's one that shocked me when I saw the rating on Imdb. In this animated movie which I understand is linked to the Xena Princess Warrior tv show from that time period, Hercules witnesses his mother being taken away by Zeus and seeks out to rescue her from Mount Olympus. Along the way, he teams up with Xena and find themselves caught in the middle of a battle between the Olympians and Titans who have been released from tartarus by Zeus' own wife, Hera. I watched this movie a lot when I was younger, and thought it was a decent flick. I'm not 100% sure what made most people give this movie a poor rating. Was it cashing in on the apparent success of Disney's Hercules? Was it the subpar animation that gave characters cross eyed and oddly coloured skin? The bad musical sequences? Who knows. I want NC to solve the mystery.
