I also love Adventures in Babysitting ... how everything works on two levels, like the little girl giving "Thor" his hammer so he'll remember he's really a hero. On one level, he was really Thor and really needed a magical hammer to remember who he was. On the other level, he's just a guy with gorgeous hair, who is moved by her gift of something so obviously important to her, and finds the heroism within himself. And the moviemakers let you choose which answer to believe in, a show of trust in the audience's intelligence rarely seen in major Hollywood films.
