    Asterix. Doesn’t really matter which of the 30+ comics, or the 5 or 6 movies. No one knows Asterix in The US.

    Also: Flight of The Navigator, The Last Unicorn, or The Last Starfighter

      I don’t know Asterix, but I loved the shit out of Flight of the Navigator. I still drop a “compliance!” every once in a while when somebody asks me to do something.

      Also, The Last Starfighter was fantastic and… The Last Unicorn was definitely a movie that was. That Unicorn was kind of an asshole, though. Watching it cringe in horror at feeling mortality was like, yeah asshole. Welcome to the slums of the mortal world, ya prissy bitch.

        I’ve seen a lot of nods to Flight of the Navigator in here, but this is the first mention of The Last Starfighter. I saw that probably a dozen times because my best friend was obsessed for a while and we’d watch it every time I want over. I have very fond memories of that.

      I grew up in the US and used to play the Asterix Sega game when I was a kid. I loved the art style and the characters.

      We watched Mission Cleopatra in French class! I was able to find it online. All my friends thought I was a weirdo.

      Me and my brothers loved the Asterix and Obelix books, we used to get them every time we went to the library. We probably read through most of them several times.

      We also really loved the Tintin books, it was crazy to me when they made a movie from them, prior to that i had never known anybody else who had heard of Tintin.

      If i ever got the opportunity I’d love to start collecting them, would be a real nostalgia kick.
