[StoneCold]

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?

Deliverence,friga as Ned Betty

So this is Neal?

[journeypower]

Beauty and the Beast (Disney)
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
The Parent Trap (the original)

We also watched a lot of Sound of Music and The Music Man... and yet somehow I did not become a musical theatre person. *shrug*

ditto. was about to mention sound of music. but since you've mentioned it already, I'll go with the TEN COMMANDMENTS.

Are you heterosexual? Those are like the 5 movies at the bottom of my list. Well, I guess SFR was pretty darn good.

[Wildfire]

Remember the movie, One on One? Loved it.

Reminds me of the old joke...What do you call two Mexicans playing baketball??? Juan on Juan.

[Rick]

The Omega Man was a good one. The 10 Commandments, The Wizard Of Oz was always watched at our house. Any of those corny Batman movies. Loved those. Bullitt. John Wayne and the Cowboys. The Hills Have Eyes. The Exorcist. But the favorite was probably Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

[Michigan Girl]

Beauty and the Beast (Disney)
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
The Parent Trap (the original)

Oops....forgot about that one!!!! I saw that on the big screen, talk about POWERFUL!!! I LOVE CH!!!

[epresley]

I could not watch this without crying.

[Michigan Girl]

I could not watch this without crying.

Me TOO!!! Now all it takes is hearing the music!!!

[jrnychick]

Huge Wizard of Oz fan here. It was always an event to watch that once a year when it came on TV. I was so excited to buy it for my daughter on DVD, but she doesn't have the same enthusiasm. I also loved Benji. I remember seeing that at the theater with my dad and brother and crying when I thought Benji was dead.

[Red13JoePa]

First one I ever rember loving was Raiders saw it w/ mom and sister New Year's Eve 1981. Did NOT want to go, wasn't intersted at all.
My mom said "there are fights in it" and the rest is history
Next was Rocky III. I think, like August of '83 RIII came to "PRISM" a Philly premium cable channel. Played all month, I watched it all month and for the next 2 or 3 Augusts wondered why it was RIII month again on Prism.

PS: The first 2 Phantasms are where it's AT

[belar]

Star Wars - came out when I was 4 years old and it's been my favorite movie ever since.

[Saint John]

My mom had me kicking and screaming as I entered the theatre to see The Blues Brothers. I couldn't possibly like a movie like that. One of the best I've ever seen.

[Rhiannon]

The Raiders of the Lost Ark

The Last Crusade was *SO* much better...

Star Wars
The Burbs
Sleepless in Seattle
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Blazing Saddles
Ghostbusters I & II
Groundhog Day
The Neverending Story
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Beetlejuice
The Brave Little Toaster
Raising Arizona

I remember seeing that in the theater, too. The car chase scene blew me away. Love it when they're driving through the mall with the cops on their tails, and Jake notices a store with baby clothes. "This place has everything."

But to me, the movie with the most LOL moments is The Jerk, with Young Frankenstein first runner up.

"The Other"? Wasn't that the one where there was a bratty kid that jumped from a hayloft and landed on an upright pitchfork? I still carry that icky image.

Yup, that's the one! I'll have to dig out my VHS copy and watch that one again.

[EightyRock]

The Day the Earth Stood Still. I was flippin' through channels the other day and saw it again. Now it seems more funny than scary, but back in the day it was creepy!
