The Flintstones (1994) - Blu-ray Forum

Halle Berry was incredible in this...I'm not totally sure that you would get away with some of the innuendo ("...feel free to use me...") in a PG movie today.

Also, if anyone wants to destroy their fond memories of this film, find the recent Howard Stern interview John Goodman did, where he essentially said he only did this movie because Steven Spielberg was adamant about him playing Fred Flintstone.

Not sure my memories of this film are particularly fond. Goodman was suited to the role of Flintstone, that much is true. I can't say a lot of good about the rest.

Considering the time, I thought pretty much everybody was cast well in their parts. This is certainly a better film than the sequel, which is god-awful.

WOW!!! Great news!
One film i saw at the cinema in my teens.
Although it's not good, I would probably buy it for nostalgia's sake..

I know I have seen this but can't say I really remember anything about it. I do unfortunately remember Viva Rock Vegas. Boy would I like to erase those memories

Agreed on both parts. The only casting issue I had was Rosie O'Donnell. I don't like either film, but there's no denying its superior to the sequel. I didn't see the film as a kid so it doesn't hold nostalgia for me.

I enjoyed the movie. I thought the casting was perfect and characterizations spot-on. Will buy a copy.

I saw this in theater when I was younger, but I don't remember much other than seeing Halle Berry
