Hook

The tale of a grown-up Peter Pan (Williams) who has forgotten his childhood past and must return to Neverland and reclaim his youthful spirit in order to save his kidnapped children (Korsmo and Scott) from Captain Hook (Hoffman). You can call it a sequel to Barrie's 1911 novel PETER AND WENDY, but the genius of this particular story is all contained within this film, from the spot-on cast to the sets of Sony Pictures Studios bringing Neverland to screen in live-action, this movie is magical to anyone who grew up in the 1990s despite critics' panning. And while not every element from PETER AND WENDY can make it into this movie (despite being 144 minutes), there are many wonderful references to them nonetheless (such as John, Michael and Tiger Lily).

  1. did anyone notice the blooper in Hook? When Captain Hook lifts up his hook and says "I hate Peter Pan!" you can see the film crew reflected in the hook itself!
