Favourite Movies From Your Childhood?

What were the favourites of your youth? Say, 5-12, roughly.

Jurassic Park I & Homeward Bound I: The Incredible Journey for me, I think. Camp Heavyweights was a great kids' classic, as comedies went.

 

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

 

Commando
Breakin'
National Lampoon's Vacation
Robocop
Terminator 1 and 2
Rocky 3
Rocky 4

 

The Sandlot

 

MOST of the Well Known "Blaxploitation" Films from the 70's...The "Shaft" Flicks, "Dolemite" Flicks, "Superfly", etc....But REED Can Also VIVIDLY Recall Watching "Carrie", "Jaws", the "Friday the 13th" Flicks, "Young Frankenstein", "Tarzan the Apeman" (REED Beat his Pre-Pubescent Meat tot the Scene where Tarzan Fondles Bo Derek's NUDE Breastisis) & Others...

& REED's OLD Enough to Have Seen Most of these Flicks @ a DRIVE IN Movie Theatre...

Though Born in the 70's, REED Watched a TON of Older Flicks as a Child as Well...Most of the "Abbott & Costello" Films, "Dracula", the "Wolfman", "Frankenstein", the "Mummy", "Wizard of Oz", etc...

Slightly cheating as I was 12-13 years old when it came out, but by far my favorite movie growing up.

Earlier than that... tough to say. Like TWIN, my parents didn't think enough of movie ratings to limit what they took me to as a kid. I remember seeing TAXI DRIVER in the movies!

 

Homeward Bound
The Land Before Time
Wayne's World
The Addams Family
Major Payne
Star Wars Episodes IV-VI

 

Big Trouble in Little China
Goonies

 

1st three Star Wars flicks

Tron

The Black Hole

Poltergeist

The Amityville Horror

Meatballs

My Bodyguard

The Wizard of Oz

ET

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Jaws

The Hobbit

The Secret of Nimh

The Dark Crystal

The Omen

 

I think Die Hard was my first rated R movie.

 

Goonies

ET

Rocky I-IV

Star Wars IV-VI

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation & Wally World Vacation

Ghostbusters

 

My parents let me watch almost anything.

I was watching Shogun Assassin at a slightly older age than the girl in Kill Bill was. I think I was like 5 or 6. We had (still have) it on Laser Disc.

That still remains maybe the most violent movie I have ever seen.

One of the best action movie ever, IMO.

My mother and sister always watch Harry Potter. I still see Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber.

 

Some came out years before i was born but movies i watch tons of times..



Jaws
Jaws 2(even more than the original)
Terminator 2
Predator
A Nightmare On Elm Street 4
Fist Of Fury
Friday The 13th Part 4
The Monster Squad(Loved it as a young kid, didn't watch it for 10 years even forgot it's name, could remember Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman, etc..and the final scene)

and a few spanish language movies...

Navajeros or Dulces Navajas(If i remember it was about gangs in Spain)

And two movies about Puerto Rican serial killers (Correa Cotto and Tono Bicicleta) can't remember the titles..

A movie about PEDRO NAVAJAS the one w/ andres Garcia

Mama Soy Paquito
Un Sabado Mas
Alla en la plaza Garibaldi
Oreja Rajada
Ratas De La Ciudad


a bunch of movies with Resortes
a bunch of movies w/ Pedrito fernandez

 

When very young - Superman

From about 9-14 Jurrasic Park, Jaws, Back the Future and Indiana Jones

From about 15-18 Scarface

 

Another for me, & these two are a stalwart for many...

The Goonies
Stand By Me

 

Mary Poppins
Karate Kid I&II
Who Framed Roger Rabbit

 

Another I forgot and haven't seen mentioned: Gremlins

 

Watership down had a big influence on my childhood and i watched it quite allot. Can't really say it was a 'favourite' though, it mainly just gave me nightmares.

Love it now.

 

Aliens.

Didn't even see the original until a long time later. Of course, both movies were released before my childhood began, but I watched the sequel a fair bit as a kid.
