There has got to be one cute cuddly creature or strange cool alien or robot you say "I wouldn't mind having him around".

As much as I like ET for some reason I would like Gizmo from Gremlins. Probably because when chicks see him they go "awwww"

Though ET would make a great friend/pet, I'm afraid if I feed him something he won't like, he'll call on his homeboys to come and take him away.

So yeah Gizmo for me.

Gizmo is a pretty good choice.

That Puckmarin thing in Flight of the Navigator was pretty cool too.

My first thought when I read the title was Gizmo. Then I thought about it for a second and no way would I choose Gizmo. I saw those movies it's too damn dangerous to have Gizmo around. You people are nuts for choosing that Mogwai.

he was in 'Curse of the WereRabbit' so he also counts as a 'movie' pet:

I cannot stand Gwynneth Paltrow and never found her more than "normal" ... yet there is something to this. I don't know why.

Re: Which creature from any movie would you keep as a friend/pet?
Gizmo would be awesome but I'd be way too paranoid. I guess it depends on how smart he really is though I always had the impression that he didn't want to turn into gremlins or multiply. The other mogwais seemed more sinister and like they wanted to turn into gremlins. If Gizmo was smart maybe he'd help me to make sure that the rules were followed.

Gotta watch Gremlins again. It's been too long. I love that movie.

It's been a while since I've seen Gremlins. Back in the day I used to watch Gremlins 2 religiously. I love how cartoony and over-the-top it is.

I've always liked Gremlins 2 as well. As goofy as parts of Gremlins are, it's fairly serious at other times but Gremlins 2 is pure fun. I always loved the movie within the movie and Hulk Hogan. Plus Rambo Gizmo is sweetass.

In Part 2 I love the Abe Lincoln gag with Kate. Great payoff for something from the original flick.

Her Christmas story from the first movie comes out of nowhere and it's creepy as shit.
