My co-workers were discussing movies today and they happen to be discussing The Goonies. For some reason, something triggered in my memory about a movie I saw on TV once with an epic snowball castlee and fight. I must have seen it when I was 10 or something, the memory is so weak but I remember 2 things: A slide from the inside to the outside of the fort. And ink inside a snowball. I asked them if these 2 memories were familiar to them at all, as they’re movie buffs. It wasn’t.
But we started to Google “Epic snowball fight movie” and stuff like that. Eventually, after some digging, we found the movie that I was remembering.
(The Dog That Stopped The War)
No wonder I had no idea what the movie was. It’s a French Canadian movie from 1984. And…”The Dog That Stopped The War” was the English title translation. So. WTF.
It’s about an epic snowball fight and a dog that dies during it that causes both sides of the war to cease fire.
Anyways, it was a great revelation that day. The internet is a great place, it’d be impossible to have solved this mystery so quickly without it. I definitely have a little more piece of mind, when something like this is settled in my head :D
