I don't recall the first time I saw C.H.U.D. Long enough ago that I remember smiling, probably tittering, when Marge admonished Homer about the folly of judging New York City on the pimps and the C.H.U.D.S. It's not a movie that quite hits the mark with it's hard boiled morality play, or frankly the titular monsters unless they be obscured with one of the numerous camera tricks employed by the film makers, the deftness of which is one reason why the film deserves to be remembered. Another is that it's just fun. It's people tellinng stories for the camera while some sad dope is shuffling around in a rubber monster suit. That's only been employed a few times successfully enough to end up as a movie worth revisiting, if maybe only once.
Besides, without it, we wouldn't have Bud the Chud, and who wants that dimension?
Cheers!
