MR

A few weeks ago I found "Old Yeller" on DVD-my kids have watched it almost daily since then. I LOVED that movie when I was a little girl...what were some of your favorite childhood movies?

Summer Magic

Ferris Bueller... my sister took me to it in the theater - was a big deal because I was 10 and she was 16 and hanging out with a 10 yr. old was never on the top of her list. So when she DID I was happy as ever.

And for some reason, the movie Tough Guys. My mom had it on tape and I watched it over and over.

I can't watch Old Yeller or Where the Red Fern Grows or Bambi or The Lion King.....THEY BREAK MY HEART!!!!

Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman
Escape From Witch Mountain

I did like MARY POPPINS and Chitty~Chitty Bang~Bang!!!!

Hot Stuff,
Jerry Reed and Dom Deluise are just too funny.
" I didn't know the God Father was Black?"
'He's a warbaby, you see when Egypt invaded Italy..."


"The little girl who lives down the lane"
Fell in love with Jodi Foster and developed a deep hatred for Martin Sheen after seeing this, also received a smack on the noggin from my Mom for peeping through my fingers and seeing Ren ( Jodi's Character) naked.

Oh also "Gregory's Girl"
I know it's sappy but I thought it was cool back then, actually I still enjoy watching it, reminds me of simpler times.

E.T....and it still is.

Were you a child when that came out?

back to the future

I was 10.

What year was that?


Nevermind...82!!! WOW!!

1982...I turned 11 in Spetember, but it came out when I was 10.

It was 1982, therefore, SJ is somewhere in the neighborhood of 36ish.

Swiss Family Robinson (I still want to live in a treehouse)
The Daydreamer
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (one of the prettiest lullabys in this movie)
Willy Wonka
Peter Pan
Jungle Book
Yours, Mine and Ours
The Parent Trap
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World (not really a kid movie, but I saw it as a kid and loved it)
The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming (another very funny movie..."emergency everybody to get from street")
Herbie, the Love Bug (the original)
The Gnome-Mobile
Angel in My Pocket (Andy Griffith is a minister)
The Incredible Mister Limpet (Don Knotts is a fish)

I first saw all of these in the theater as a kid so now I own most of them on DVD...I wanted to see more kid movies, but my mom wanted to see grown-up movies so we saw & heard a lot more than we should have...very disturbing.

I also LOVED Poltergeist and Cujo.

(Yeah,I was a weird kid.)

i think i was 8 when creepshow came out,that scene with the roaches still makes my skin crawl.

These come immediately to mind:

Now You See Him, Now You Don't (Disney)
Caddyshack
Towering Inferno
Poseidon Adventure
The Bad News Bears (I & II)
The Jerk
Smokey & The Bandit
Fast Tmes At Ridgemont High
Phantasm

Hell Fighters and The Cowboys!! Great movies!!! The green Berets was also a good one! Wayne is my favorite actor and then Eastwood. "Go ahead Make my day!!"

Tough choice. Either of these will do.

SRV was my original AV but I retired it for awhile. Timing was right.

One of the greatest movies ever. You guys should see Rockindeano do his Tall Man impersonation. I saw it in Vegas...fucking hilarious!!! Only he wasn't trying it...it just came naturally when he spotted Castronovo. Fucker was taking strides that would make Bob Beamon blush.
