First, Thanks chloe, the “True Romance” comment really bothered me.

Now, one of my favorites “Three Days of the Condor”

What about “A Fish Called Wanda?” Though there was the fish, it only had a bit part.

Personally, I was dissapointed by “must love dogs”. It did feature some dog related stuff, but was more a romance

The Squid and the Whale

What it’s not about: A squid and a whale who become fast friends.

What it is about: A family going through a traumatic and messed-up divorce.

What did the animal(s) represent?: The fighting parents, I assumed.

#2 – I dont think you have it right. “True Romance” is very much about Romance. Clarence and Alabama are very much so in love, and although there are some great action and “guy” scenes, the plot is based upon two people from completely different circumstances, with majoe problems, meeting and fallin in love. When Alabama gets all meessed up by Gandolifini, she is so in love that she takes the beating without ever giving up Clarence. Just as Clarence stands up to Vincenzo for her.

awe. Great movie!

Dancing with Wolves (not really for kids but there are wolves…no ones really dancing with them and it’s very long)

Crocodile Dundee (not for kids at the time…there are a couple of crocodiles but its more about a bushman…his lady…and a big bad city)

“Birdcage” – no birds at all, but there were a couple of feather boas – and lots of laughs! Now if I could only find my “Pirin” tablets…

GoBowling already mentions this one, but I saw “The Falcon and the Snowman” when I was nine, with my sister who is twelve years older, and I really thought we were going to a children’s movie, but a kid’s movie is certainly is not.
