I think Hook is amazing

I loved it, but it was kind of a mess. Dustin Hoffman was amazing though. This 18 minute (long) video shows you

Executive summary?

Spielberg had two huge regrets. 1) Not making it a musical. 2) Cutting out a large part of the second act.

I know it's not technically quality cinema, but it's a perfect kid's movie. Screw critics on that one.

could have been a lot better when you hear the original plan for Jack/Maggie, and Peter developing back into Pan.

The Director’s Cut might be the biggest improvement of any movie’s extended cut

Bandit

They bought the script for a standard rom com and hired Swardson to rewrite it.
