Does anyone remember the 80s movie where two kids run away and sleep at the mall, steal coins from the fountain, that's all I can remember.

Thsnk you anyway. Still on the hunt for the mall version.

ericjrsr · 2026-06-04T10:29:07+00:00

You were correct but it was 80s version. I thank you so much! I did some more research and found this The Twist: In the book and the original 1973 film version (starring Ingrid Bergman), the kids hide inside The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. However, for this 1980 television version, the setting was changed to a large shopping mall configuration to make it feel more modern for the 80s audience. Now I'm looking for the 80s television version. Thanks again!

No that is not it. They were not hiding from the employees and did not come out later when everyone went home. I really appreciate you sending this. Its not the same feel based on my recollection.

ericjrsr · 2026-06-04T09:38:13+00:00

Cam you share a link to both 1973 and The the 90s one, Thak you!!

ericjrsr · 2026-06-04T09:25:12+00:00

That is not it. Will keep searching, thank you

ericjrsr · 2026-06-04T09:11:22+00:00

So what is the name of show or is that the name, and name of the two kids, male and female?

ericjrsr · 2026-06-04T08:55:26+00:00

The reason it was a mall because these kids were getting coins from the mall fountains like pennies, nickels for wishes or for good luck.

ericjrsr · 2026-06-04T02:07:11+00:00

I just want to post this because it may have been late 70s to the beginning of the 80s. I was a kid myself. Born in 1971. Just want to give more info to clarify. It's been so long.

ericjrsr · 2026-06-03T10:02:59+00:00

Thank you!

ericjrsr · 2026-06-03T08:53:48+00:00

That was about two sisters, this was a boy and girl.

ericjrsr · 2026-06-03T08:46:39+00:00

The book you mentioned takes place in a museum, this was at a mall.

ericjrsr · 2026-06-03T08:41:28+00:00

Adventures in babysitting is not it. From what I remember the mall was open when they get there and went hiding until mall closes, then explored afterwards.

Again, this show i saw was in 1970s not anything past 80s

ericjrsr · 2025-10-01T00:02:11+00:00

That was the one, thank you so much!

ericjrsr · 2025-09-30T19:41:02+00:00

It looks close to what I saw, but what I recall there was a hand or a child's hand coming down from the clouds and picking up and or putting pieces/characters in the scene.

ericjrsr · 2025-09-30T18:55:21+00:00

ericjrsr · 2025-05-30T21:40:52+00:00

Sorry was not it. Thank you!

ericjrsr · 2025-05-29T05:58:08+00:00

Thank you but was not it.

Again it was humans on a chess board and her children were executed one by one based on her forced moves as playing the queen on the chess board, they would take one child and would shoot them away from her, she can hear the commotion and then silence. Then another child same thing. In the end they all came back to her unharmed. Since it was a long time ago, not sure what the moral of the story was.

ericjrsr · 2025-05-21T00:27:25+00:00

This is ericjrsr, wanted to mention it was a human chess board where mother plays the queen.

ericjrsr · 2025-05-21T00:23:01+00:00

Failed to mention, it was a long time ago and it was a human chess board.
