“Harry and the Hendersons” (January 1)
John Lithgow stars as the patriarch of a family coming home from a camping trip when they hit something with their station wagon: a Bigfoot. They come to befriend the Sasquatch, whom they name Harry, leading to a mad dash to keep Harry safe from a hunter trying to track him down.
“My Girl” (January 1)
This coming-of-age drama follows the trials and tribulations of 11-year-old Vada (Anna Chlumsky) and her best friend, Thomas (Macaulay Culkin).
The movie is filled with great supporting roles from Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Griffin Dunne.
