Harry and the Hendersons

At its core, Harry and the Hendersons follows a story that unfolds like this: Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear it was a man, but when they examine the "body" they find it's a "bigfoot". They think it's dead so they decide to take it home (there could be some money in this). As you guessed, it isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant.

What sets it apart is how it treats its comedy, family, and fantasy elements not as decoration but as the engine of the plot. The tagline — "When you can't believe your eyes, trust your heart." — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.
