Amazon.com: This cute movie by William Dear stars John Lithgow as a family man who befriends a Sasquatch (a.k.a. Bigfoot) and brings the friendly monster's oversized, hairy self into his Seattle home. Mayhem and comedy ensue, but things take a heavier turn when a hunter (David Suchet) gets on the creature's trail. Everything hinges on the relationship between Lithgow's character and Harry (the Sasquatch), and that relationship is really quite effective and touching. Don Ameche is a hoot as an old guy who has dreamed of meeting Bigfoot all his life and finally gets the glorious chance. --Tom Keogh

One of My Favorite Movies ^ I'm only 23, about to be 24, but some movies you love forever, no matter how long ago it was you first saw them or how old you are when you rediscover them again for the trillionth time. For me, one such movie is Harry and the Hendersons. If you've seen it before and have been waiting for the DVD release, and let's face it, who hasn't seen this move that wanted a DVD release, then now's your chance, and I say jump. Fond memories of classic movies like this, they're only made once in your life, but with things like DVDs and what have you, fond memories can live a long time.
Harry and the Hendersons (Special Edition) ^ Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear it was a man, but when they examine the "body" they find it's a "bigfoot". They think it's dead so they decide to take it home there could be some money in this. As you guessed it isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant. In their attempts to keep Harry a secret, the Henderson's have to hide him from the authorities and a man, who has made it his goal in life, to catch a bigfoot. You will fall in love with Harry and wish that Bigfoot / Sasquatch was real. A funny, endearing movie. I whole heartedly recommend this for anybody looking for a family movie that warms the heart.
