Exits gracefully.
Gremlins 2 is much the better film.

(I don't think it's best -that's Back to the Future, just thought I'd add it). I guess Uncle Buck is not an Adventure...

Grandpa Fred: [interviewing Brain Gremlin] Creature what is it that you want?
Brain Gremlin: Fred, what we want is, I think, what everyone wants, and what you and your viewers have: civilization.
Grandpa Fred: Yes, but what sort of civilization are you speaking of?
Brain Gremlin: The niceties, Fred. The fine points: diplomacy, compassion, standards, manners, tradition... that's what we're reaching toward. Oh, we may stumble along the way, but civilization, yes. The Geneva Convention, chamber music, Susan Sontag. Everything your society has worked so hard to accomplish over the centuries, that's what we aspire to; we want to be civilized.
[a Gremlin with a beanie cap acts goofy next to Brain]
Brain Gremlin: You take a look at this fellow here.
[Brain shoots the Gremlin in the head. The Gremlins in the bar laugh. Grandpa Fred and Kujitsu leave]
Brain Gremlin: Now, was that civilized? No, clearly not. Fun, but in no sense civilized. Now, bear in mind, none of us has been in New York before. There are the Broadway shows - we'll have to find out how to get tickets. There's also a lot of street crime, but I believe we can watch that for free. We want the essentials. Dinettes. Complete bedroom groups. Convenient credit, even though we've been turned down in the past.

The comedy fighting Orangutan is a untapped sub genre of cinema.

every film should have one - I can't think of a single film that wouldn't be improved by having a comedy fighting orang-utan in it...

For the first time or rewatch?
If the latter, I'd probably recommend leaving it intact in your rose-tinted memory

Ooooh, I got one, I got a great one -
And yes, that is indeed a young Heather Graham as the love interest.
I loved this film.
