Special Effects of the 80’s: Flight of the Navigator

Anybody who grew up in the 80’s will remember the huge surge of adventure fantasy flicks that were released during the decade. With the likes of Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, The Never Ending Story and Princess Bride, it seems like the 80’s mastered awesome analog cheese.

Here’s a trailer for one of the best. It’s the cult film “Flight of the Navigator”. This 1986 disney film is freaking hilarious. The special effects were big budget for the time. My favorite part is probably the dialogue. “Be Cool Dude”
