Jumanji

Jumanji is a masterpiece, not just because of its innovative concept, but also because of Robin Williams' hilarious but uplifting depiction of Alan Parrish. This 1995 picture, directed by Joe Johnston, also stars Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst, and Bebe Neuwirth.

Alan Parrish, the son of a wealthy shoe factory owner, is ridiculed at school and by his father, who is seeking to send him away to a boarding school in Jumanji. Alan comes upon a board game named "Jumanji" one day after hearing strong drum beats coming from a building site. He runs across his buddy Sarah Whittle, who decides to join him in the game. The game is enigmatic and exciting to them because the game pieces move on their own and instructions appear in a crystal ball in the center of the board to explain each roll. Alan gets pulled into the game one moment, while Sarah is chased out of the home by a swarm of bats the next. After 26 years, a new family moved into the Parrish house: orphans Judy and Peter, as well as their aunt Nora. After discovering the game, the kids agree to play, bringing Alan back to reality and teaching him that the game must be completed in order to end the weird happenings that occur after each roll.
