1984 |
"Room 101", a cage with two rats attached to the prisoner's
face. |
| |
Indiana Jones and the last Crusade |
The scene is in the cave where Indy and the female German archaeologist
are trapped. Rats are all around as they scurry for an escape, following our furry (but
wet) friends to their exit. |
| |
Ben |
Well, who hasn't seen the rats in this movie. |
| |
Mouse Hunt |
Quite cute, actually. An interesting mix of real and animatronic mice in
this movie. |
| |
Dr. Doolittle (1998) |
These sewer rats were pretty comical, though they didn't do much for the
bad rat rap. |
| |
Fievel Movies |
I think there were two of these animated movies about a Russian Mouse who
comes to America. Sort of a "Fiddler on the Roof Rat". |
| |
The Jewel of the Nile |
Rats were nibbling on the rope holding Stephen Douglas and Kathleen Turner
over a bottomless pit. One intelligent guy (or gal) even took a nip out of Danny DeVito,
which saved the day. |
| |
Creepozoids |
A post-nuclear war excursion by a group of idiotic survivors. One of their
antagonists is a rather large, ratty-looking brown rat. |
| |
Independence Day. |
Mentioned by Moe DeSessoe on an Animal Planet show. |

| |
Battlefield Earth |
Psychlos "think" that rats are human's favorite
food. Of course, we all think of them as our favorite pets! |
| |
Road Trip |
Some simpleton in the movie attempts to eat a pew mouse. Oh
well, what passes for humor these days... |
| |
Chicken Run |
Two enterprising rodents assist the chickens in their escape
plans. |
| |
Ratz |
It's like a totally teenage flick, made for cable (Showtime)
about two girls who turn their adorable boy ratties into teenage boys. Too
much teenage pseudo-dialogue, not enough ratties! |

Two "Babe" movies |
I think the rodent trio that sang, did segue commentary, etc. were
supposed to be mice, but they DID look a bit large. |
| |
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH |
Possibly the quintessential "good rat" movie. I know of at least
two or three people who have/had ratties named "Mrs. Frisby". |

One of the crew had a PEW that spent a lot of time hanging out on his
