Favorite Movies From Your Childhood

[LordElysian]

The Dark Crystal, directed by Jim Henson



By the time I saw it as a kid, I had the VHS version.

Just watched Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, for (probably) the eighteenth time in my life.

That movie is so good it's hard to believe.

Jesus, whats up with all these bots lately?

[Zeroº]

They've learned our ways, our habits, our language, our secrets. Now they are beginning their attack against us with covert advertisements that are meant to lead us to sites that distract and confuse us while they download our brains in an attempt to be even more like us. The bot Armageddon is finally upon us! Disconnect for your lives!!

And really:

Harry Porter

Enough said.

I knew that robots would cause the end!

Back on topic, some of my favorite childhood movies are:

Star Wars Episode I: The phantom menace.
Toy story.
Tron.
Jurassic park.
The lost world: Jurassic park (Yeah, I actually liked it.)
The Transformers: The movie.

And much more that I can't remember right now......

Ugh!! What's with the rash of bots?! Not pleased... Please feel free to report any of these that you see, okay guys? I have a sneaking suspicion there are a lot that I haven't caught.

...when I was a kid, I would watch Tremors over and over. I got excited because the female lead and I wore the same tennis shoes, and I'd take a broom handle and pretend to pole vault between the couch and the coffee table during that part of the movie. Good times.

I also loved: The Last Unicorn, The Care Bears Movie II, Fantasia, and The Neverending Story. Imagination formers, right there.

My parents were a bit negligent in what I watched. I watched Tremors a lot when I was four or five, and went on to watch a ton of science fiction films and series I probably shouldn't have been watching. Granted, Tremors is really clean. At most, there's some light cussing.

My parents were a bit negligent in what I watched.

Same here but I've never considered it to be negligent apart from this one time. We didn't have satellite TV or cable when we was younger so when big films were on my Dad used to get his mate to tape them for us. One week during summer holidays we got Speed, was awesome so I watched it a second time while my parents were out, when it ended I went to grab a drink, when I came back I discovered something rather interesting, porn, I was about 10 or 11 at the time and was totally disgusted with what was happening on the screen, naturally I took the tape around to my mates and 4 of us watched it all and stole some of his dads whiskey.

Sorry, that went on longer than planned but this peculiar memory just popped in my head after reading your post

Anyway yeah as a child I watched many films not rated for my age, one of my favorite was Demolition Man, I still love this film today, for a sci-fi action flick from the early nighties it still holds up pretty well today in my opinion, apart from the opening scene that claims it starts in 1996 that is One of Sly's better films outside of Rocky and Rambo.

Demolition Man was awesome. The first time I saw it was with my mother and sister at the local theater, only we never got to see the whole flick because the reel burned up during the beginning ...before they even left 1996. It's easily one of my favorite Sandra Bullock films.

Here is one of the best segments from Donald in Mathemagic Land (it is also my Mom's favorite):



It left out the bit about Pythagoreans murdering people for publicly revealing the existence of irrational numbers, but that is probably not relevant to the point they were trying to make.

.... *hugs*

I STILL adore the Brave Little Toaster. It's sweet and ingenious. The Chipmunk Adventure featured a penguin in a glass case, right?

[TheBlackCat]

I remember both of those.

Speaking of Brave Little Toaster, I'm surprised this part didn't scar me as a child:

Double post.

This isn't my favorite movie, far from it, but as a kid I remember watching an animated film that made Christopher Columbus out to be some kind of hero for saying the earth was round when everyone else ridiculed him for it becaus everypony knows the earth is flat. I bring this up because That Guy With The Glasses reviewed it today. The film in question is called "The Magic Voyage" and is probably the number one reason I HATE Chris Columbus so much. For the record; people have known the earth was round since the days of the ancient Greeks, possibly earlier. Anytime I meet someone who insists that Mr. Columbus was the man who proved the world was round I feel like punching them in the face.

I also remember seeing a little bit of Flesh Gordon, specifically the part with the penisauruses, and not knowing what the hell was happening. I was like, "Are they even allowed to call it that? Is this a real thing or some kind of parody? Why do they keep saying penisaurus so much? If this is an adult film then why won't they show naked people or anything more racey? Seriously, how many times can you say penisaurus?"
