11. SECRET VALLEY.
All God, almost helplessly, begins with the "shot-Riro tirorirorirorí ..." and ends with the "... the secret valley, the valley tarirorarí secret ..." Humming by emulating the header melody (without no fucking idea the real point), every time someone brings to remembrance "The Secret Valley." As this is a page coming to give back to you, young man, nothing more than useless data, the record that this issue is a hymn Australian lian (which is sung to the rugby and all) entitled " Waltzing Matilda ", and Tom himself Waitts did a version of it (there is).
The series premiered in Spain in June 1982. The "cast" (or "made" to the reader Valencian / Catalan) on Monday at eight o'clock in the afternoon in La 2 English TV (have considered for Cultureta?), Resulting in replacement Tve1 years later. The argument is very adventurous children: children help an old man who is very good and the bad guys are bastards who think violating the ecology to make money. The viejuno in question, Dan McCormack, is about acre property in the coastal town of Bildad, who thinks transformed into a summer camp for children ("Secret Valley" in name), the problem comes from the hand of asshole Whooper (yes, like the burger), alias Spider ", which is a bad, bad speculator, who has a metal hand and everything. La banda del "Spider" are the followers of this type: some kids with a spider stamped on his shirt that the guys are like wicked Protas but with two heads (left and right arms of Whooper) called "Snake" and "Sparrow."
shift Valley is a haven filled Australian kangaroos, koalas and other marsupials, full of caves, strange passages in abandoned houses and bottomless mine shafts. Imagine then the adventure deep into dark places kids (have to analyze this phenomenon, as is constantly repeated in the arguments about children-adventure), throwing rocks and struggling, while singing songs to the accompaniment of guitar playing of catechesis, dig latrines make fires, feed the animals and do things as well as summer camps. All seasoned with lysergic arguments that vary in each chapter, if in one, the sucker's "Spider" hire an Australian driver nicknamed "Red Baron" to fumigate the place stink bomb (sic), otherwise they face a bank robber disguised French journalist (more sic.) past events ranging from appearances ghosts, the magnetization of kids, all subsequent visits and appointments with constant to Spain and English (apparently, in Australia there are many). Indispensable in this ranking.
10. THE ULTIMATE PLEASURE.
" Last Recreo" is one of the greatest wonders 
Carlos Trillo and Horacio Altuna have been the ninth art in its few years of existence. In its country of origin , Argentina, the series began publication in the journal Superhumor "to continue after only three deliveries," Fierro. " In Spain, the twelve episodes would print Zona 84 , which was one of those publications that existed when the popular culture in this country meant something, before the abject teratomorfo Esperanza Aguirre decided to bury this unique art in pit bureaucratic oblivion. We are talking about 1982. Trillo, author of scripts for comics such as "Clara de Noche", "Custer", "Chicanos" or "Cybersix" wrote this story, and Altuna, cartoonist of his own stories as "Time / Out" or multitude of strips for Playboy (as well collaborations with her constant companion now this one), allows us to view.
In "The Last Recreation," it tells the story of a global catastrophe . In an apocalyptic near future, a devastating bomb, those that are "mushroom", has exploded and has brought an end to all humanity that has reached sexual maturity. Is for the world populated only by children without adult care food or. So, the kids must learn to survive by themselves in a world devoid of law and security. They form gangs, face each other and fend for themselves in a spot where the bodies pile up, the rats take over the streets and elderly are dying as they get older. With clear echoes of "The Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, children begin to lose their innocence in the struggle for survival, giving courts the selfishness, jealousy, envy and all vices adults. Those who organize and find a way to live and live, suffer fear to grow, to mature, to be attracted to the opposite sex ... the inevitable, final. Although there is hope that the effect of the pump to dissipate. A wonder of comics.
9. HIDDEN YOUTH.
I think you can say without fear Joel Schumacher has only one good movie, and is not " Lost Boys," that of course (no, neither is "St. Elmo's Fire meeting, "I mean" A Day of Fury "). "The Lost Boys" (1987 ) is a film that has not been able to age worse, ie: that bodybuilder with a ponytail and bow tie, slathered in oil and sax.
Sam (Corey Haims ) and his older brother Michael (Jason Patrick ) are standard American youth. After his parents divorce, the two decide to move in with her mother to the quiet California town of Santa Carla. The wayward Michael then begins to frequent bad company ( Kiefer Sutherland and his group Hair-Metal) and it is bad, very bad. His mother answered, not at home and was left with a face like a drugged go all day. The mother (Dianne Wiest ) do not know what to do with your child and everything looks like a junkie drama family. However, everything is worse than it seems, because of Michael's colleagues are not smug or drogotas quinquis but vampires that, if one thinks it is much worse. Corey Haim discovers three or four things that make you suspect the worst and contact with siblings Frog (Jamison Newlander and the parrot, Corey Feldman -yes, sir, the two Coreys most famous of the 80 together as a film- ), two kids of their age who are vampire hunters. The thing is further complicated when the mother of the creatures you take a pickup (Edward Herrmann, the parent / grandparent of Gilmore Girls) who is also a vampire.
Everything else, rigor, fangs, masks asshole before sucking blood, stakes, holy water ... and a thousand bad crap age r. In the movie has to save the sequence in which the Coreys and the other guy, in full preparations for the final vampire hunting, fill their canteens at the baptismal font of a church under the astonished gaze of the parishioners. It could also save the odd vesion of the issue of Doors "People Are Strange" and "Do not let the sun goes down on me" by Elton John (with double meaning, hear). Save also the sequence of motor racing and will come, save the Jami Gertz, as beautiful as now defunct, who played the bad vamp, which seduces the innocent Michael and sucubiza (but then is good, course). There is, of course, a script, tentatively titled "Lost Girls" (you can imagine the case) that takes long rumored, would be a sequel to the film. Thank God, nobody has yet dared to take him out permanently.
NOTE: At the time of the recovery of this post, and there is this unfortunate sequel "Lost Boys 2." Absolutely dispensable.
8. EXPLORERS.
And if the former director must ensure 
not save hardly anything of it, Joe Dante , I save almost everything. Although things as they are, not the case. "Explorers" (1985), along with "Gremlins 2", the worst thing Da nte shot in film. Hey, without contempt or bitterness, which is Dante, as it was in spanish slang "A man!".
"Explorers" is one of those movies for kids science fiction without any rigor, where technology is a natural science, for whom getting caught without a particular purpose, and full of plastiquetes, little lights and things that are cool. His argument is good-good. It's like "Contact", but for youth, namely around aliens crazy send a signal to Earth. That signal, a kid gets in your mind (so far all good, rigorous) contains instructions for building a flying device that furrow spaces. So River Phoenix , Ethan Hawke and another colleague easily build an impossible area to Capsule Corp Dragon Ball, which moves in the space of a quantum way excusable but completely impossible. Thus, the nurse travel of aliens who sent the signal space and find that these are also kids like them. Ugly kids, created by Rob Bottin , but children eventually, after all, the only thing they want is information and more material (they have the living room of the ship full of movies, television, video ...) not to abandon any projections that fill the place.
lipstick aliens, aliens who are old classic B-movie series of Martian aliens who try to link with human children ... tontunas tontunas and more ... the only thing wrong with this tape is the rhythm, because, at times, is even boring. However, I could not miss here.
7. Pippy, Tommy and Anika.
"Pippi Longstocking" , so we called here, had one in each class, in every community of neighbors, each firm in each gang ... The redhead, the queues of the teeth, or just glad it was the "Pipi Lastrum" for friends ("pipilotas" for children). And is that Pipi (or Pippy, in honor of rigor) was one of those characters like Tarzan and Fu Manchu, although exotic, were too well known in Spain.
Initially child literary character whose adventures have not stopped running until 2004, was later Pippi TV series character, puppet animation series, star of the Big Screen, the Soviet command an example for the feminist movement ... this, the result of a random idea from a Swedish mind. His colleagues, 
Tomy and Anika , accompanying him on DMEPOS together with travel and child gang of the most remarkable adventure. These are children who no longer travel, boat sailing on the High Seas, sleeping out there in the open, hungry time, facing pirates, thieves and beggars, which mocked the authorities, who vex the bourgeoisie, which make a fool ... ultimately returning to savagery anarchist own moral code of a child.
The character's creator, Astrid Lindgren , was a Swedish lady that he was stuck in this children's literature of action almost by chance. Pippi created for her seven years in 1941 to entertain for a period of lung disease. Later, the cronies of the rapazilla also wanted to hear the bizarre story of the girl with pigtails who wears patched with strips of cloth and has powers as understanding animal and super strength. Two years later (thanks to another accident), this time when Astrid own leg splits, shapes these stories and start writing the story, the manuscript is automatically rejected by several publishers. Not until 1945 after winning a literary competition organized by the publisher Raben & Sjogren when the start character petar based on well and started his meteoric rise to fame.
The first actress to give flesh to flesh was Miss Langstrump Viveca Serlachius , in 1949 feature "Pippi Langstrump" ("Pippi Longstocking" Saxon times to the market). Its director Per Gunvall , was a veteran in this Nordic adapt things for children, coming to get their hands even a film adaptation of the very Nils Holgersson. Olle Hellbom , the director 
TV series (no doubt the product of the factory that has Dad Pippi or know the character outside the Nordic world), also directed the most films, which since 1969 (year which begins the serial), also starring Inger Nilsson nice. Inger, whose face adult and has become so famous as the child, thanks to the internal , starred in the skin of Pippi "Pippi Langstrump" (titled the same as the 49, remember: for Americans Longstocking ) "Här Kommer Pippi Langstrump" , "Pa Rymmen Langstrump med Pippi "(here as La Curra" Pippi goes Pipa ") and " Pippi in Taka Tuka Island ". All shot in a couple of years (between 69 and 70) and all with Maria Persson and Pär Sundberg making Anika and Tomy. The series will continue at the same time the films in a process of exploitation itself a few decades later, so that, even here in the Infraeuropa Pippi and her colleagues were very famous, as it were to "Star Wars". It was not until 1988 and the hand of the yankees this time, when it premiered the new Pippi, with new cast and aesthetics, although decimated in his charming Swedish renewed.
Ken Annakin, the director of "Rachel and Her Rascals", was commissioned to carry out " The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking" (1988 ) entitled to Castilian as " Pippi Longstocking: The Movie ". In it, the redhead with superpowers was played this time by Tami Erin as Tommy and Anika made them David Seaman and Cory Crow. It was the third deal for Langstrump Pippi, a movie that came to exploit the most pirate-line (in the literal sense of the word) in the series. With his master Nilsson and all (do not think do need to remember the monkey and Pippi's horse, right?). E n 1997 springs from the taiga an animated feature, Swedish co-production between Germany and Canada, entitled 
flatly "Pippi Longstocking" . Melissa Altro voice puts y. .. little more to say, leaving Pippi's grandfather, also marine, Captain Efraim Longstocking (Olé, olé olé and). This experiment crystallized as a series of animation 1998 and, of course, has never been released in our country.
Y. .. well, what more? gang adventure lovers, it also more than ten novels ( titles like "Do you know Pippi Longstocking?" , "Pippi moves" or "Vanishing with Pippi Longstocking" ) translated into 70 languages There is another movie for television ( tivimuvi that they call now, before they were telefilms), much lower success that we all know. This I have not included in the paragraph of the films because I think it fits better in the section rarities. The play itself came to be called "Peppi Dlinnyychulok" an interesting tape obsolete Soviet Union, musical, very industrial, 1982, where Pippi (Peppi, in Russian, as a woman who is a neighbor of mine, Pepi) The young actress played Svetlana Stupak , who was not aware of any other work under his belt, and where no lack of Soviet versions of Tommy and Anika. With a time of the last European curiosity I had to search youtube pulling Cyrillic, leaving them to the next installment:
