Little Monsters.
Holy shit I forgot how much I loved this movie! I used to watch it round a mate's house pretty much weekly, never got sick of it.
Brian (Fred Savage) and his family (including Daniel Stern as his Dad) have moved into a new house, and he's having some trouble making friends at school. Until he meets the monster under his bed, Maurice. Maurice introduces him to the monster world, which has doors all over the country underneath every bed. They get up to all sorts of stuff (including switching the filling in the school bully's sandwich with cat food and his apple juice with piss), until Brian starts to feel a little different..
It's full of immature jokes and slapstick humour, but there's also some seriously amazing make-up effects (especially for 1989), innuendo and adult humour galore to keep the grown-ups entertained. I'm amazed it got through as a PG in the '90s but it's no surprise that it's unavailable on R2 DVD. I seriously recommend hunting it out online or buying the R1 DVD.
9/10
