Night at the Museum (2006)

(New York City; contemporary)
IMDb

The greatest compliment I heard for this movie was on the 'This Divided State Blog', where someone said it reminded them of an 80's movie. You know it did remind me of an 80's movie, or more generally of a type of film that is representative of childhood, mine just happened to be in the Reagan era. The fantasy of things coming to life at night, were passions (such as history) are rewarded with life changing experiences, where Theodore Roosevelt can win the love of Sacajawea (or Ben Stiller of a Rachel Weisz look alike). Pure enjoyment cinema. Kudos on the use of a trio of veterns as the museums old security staff.
