Not at all Gremlins is one of my favorite movies of the 80s I ranked it 29th out of 50 when I ranked my top 50 movies of the 1980s back in March of 2013. Although now I would have to rank it lower a slot since I recently finally saw Once Upon A Time in America. Poltergeist which I ranked 22nd out of 50 also has a very good score by Jerry Goldsmith.
