What were your favorite movies as a kid

[Lady of Winterfell]

I was wandering around the site and saw a thread that made me remember a movie I used to watch all the time as kid. That got me thinking about the other movies I watched when I was younger, and thus was the inspiration for this thread.

So, what movies did you watch growing up? Here is my list, at least what I can remember right now.

Flight of Dragons
The Last Unicorn
Swan Lake
The Neverending Story
The Secret of Nimh
An American Tale: Fievel goes West
The Dark Crystal

Neverending Story
ET
Flight of the Navigator
Project X
War Games
Star Wars -no particular favourite
Karate Kid (First two)
Big Trouble in Little China

Who could forget the baby baby, babaaay sitting blues?

LOL.

[Talysia]

Oh, I'd definitely agree with The Secret of Nimh. I used to watch it avidly whenever it was on. Another one I loved was Laputa, Castle in the Sky, which was my first introduction to Ghibli/Miyazaki.

As if I didn't feel old enough already, none of those movies existed when I was a child.

While I went to the movies fairly often, I can't say that I remember very many of them. Mostly, the kids in my neighborhood would all get together and go to the nearest theater to see the double feature. Multiplexes hadn't been invented yet, so we had to see whatever was playing and that was that. So ... most of the movies were pretty forgettable.

The movies that I do remember as enjoyable were all from Disney: Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp.

I also vaguely remember seeing Danny Kaye in The Court Jester, which wasn't a favorite at the time (I was only five and most of the humor went over my head), but which I rediscovered and fell in love with as a young adult.

In my late teens, if that counts, I absolutely fell in love with Camelot, and Romeo and Juliet (the version with Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting).

Romeo and Juliet is a gorgeous film, great score too.

Unfortunately, I wasn't introduced to Miyazaki before well after my childhood. My experience was therefore limited to Disney, with The Rescuers: Down Under as my favourite.

[tangaloomababe]

Daisybee I loved War Games - still do.

The Court Jester was one of my favourites as a kid, I remember Saturday mornings was always cartoons followed by the midday movie, I was always diappointed when it was an Elvis movie but some of the better ones I remember watching were The Great Escape, Jerry Lewis movies, The Black Shield of Falworth, When Worlds Collide, War of the Worlds, Lillies in the Field and the Ma and Pa Kettle movies.

A bit older and Arnie was pretty much king with the Conan movies, Predator and The Terminator and Bruce Willis in what is still one of my favourite action movies Die Hard.

Edit: I was about to post a question about a movie I saw as a kid that's been bugging me for ages. Basically I remembered kids going into a cave and when they came out everyone else had been turned to dust and I've just found it yay!

Where Have All The People Gone. No idea if this movie was any good except that I've never forgotten it so I think I'll go find a copy and have another look.

[gully_foyle]

Star Wars (The Star Wars)
The Jungle Book (Disney version)
Snoopy Come Home (made me cry)

In no order:
Ghostbusters
Willow
Terminator
(Sadly) Masters of the universe
Tron

Jurassic Park
Neverending Story 1

[AlexM]

Toy Story
Karate Kid
Spongebob SquarePants
Batman cartoons

I HAVE NO IDEA!~ i've been sitting here for like 10mins trying to think of more >>

your all mean ><

[ktabic]

Ghostbusters
Star Wars
The Dark Crystal
Labyrinth
Willow

I brought The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth on dvd not long back - thought my niece and nephew would like to watch them when they came round. That's my excuse anyway

[BookStop]

I loved Court Jester, as well, and Walter Mitty. Really liked just about everything Danny Kaye.
Pippi Longstocking
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Abbott and Costello's monster flicks
Oh Heavenly Dog
Grease
Star Wars

I guess I had odd taste as a kid, but I rarely got to go to the theater, so I had to watch whatever came on tv back we only got 3 channels. What's even funnier is most of these flick hold up amazingly well. My kids have seen all but maybe Something Wicked, and they enjoy them too.
