Favourite Childhood Movies?

[Myst]

I saw the thread for favourite childhood book, so how about your favourite movies?

Mine is The Last Unicorn. I still watch it from time to time and find myself glued to the TV and misty eyed. I was obsessed with unicorns and what they symbolized and still am.

[shnen]

my favorite movie was the princess bride, Star Wars, and any ninja movie you could find! Yes... I was a tomboy:eek:

[Xander67]

hmmm

Pippy Longstockings!

[Man/Wolf]

Debbie Does Dallas :evilway:

[Flaire-FireStar]

8O

Bambi....Couldn't get enough of that one.

[Ball-Bhreac Ròn]

I was very big on Disney films...Lion King, Aladdin and the like ;) :p

Non-Disney films though? Ohh, Asterix and the 12 Tasks :D:D:heartthro:D:D

[Niamh]

By far The Last Unicorn!

I watched a lot of Legend and Labrynth.... And Star Wars! But I'd have to say Last Unicorn takes the number 1 spot!

[Adrenaline Junkie]

The Neverending story, although it scared me for some reason
and
The Little Mermaid.

I was an odd child :D

[Armitage]

The Dark Crystal, Legend, and the Unico series. (anyone else remember those? ^_^) Or pretty much anything I could find with unicorns in it.

[Eeluna]

The first two that come to mind are "Cinderella" (the Rogers and Hammerstein version) and "The Wizard of Oz". This will date me but videos were unheard of back then, and we went to see a movie on the big screen about once or twice a year. We only had three TV stations, but those two movies were replayed once a year. I always looked forward *very eagerly* to watching them.
Star Wars came out when I was in high school. It was so amazing. I loved it!

[Old Witch]

Lassie, Come Home and Bambi..........

[Earthcup]

Asterix!!!! "What do you mean you don't have any wild boar?":D

Willy Wonka, old musicals, Danny Kaye movies, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Land Before Time, The She-Ra/He-Man Christmas special, Fantasia, The Glass Slipper, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Care Bear Movie!

[Niamh]

The Care Bear Movie.... Now I'd forgotten all about that one! My sister LOVED that!

[Flaire-FireStar]

:blushake: There's so many movies I forgot about!!!!!!!

+ Carebears Movie
+ Land Before Time 1
+ Little Mermaid


Those are all I can think of now. :p

[flar7]

ahem,*prepares for verbal comebacks and snide remarks:D *
um, I really liked,........"Pollyanna".......probably a Haley Mills thing.

[Azure]

Hammer films monster movies. The Aristocats.

[Flar's Freyja]

The Incredible Mr. Limpett with Don Knotts, and of course, the Wizard of Oz.

If you've seen Girl, Interrupted - one of the patients is obsessed with the movie and lives in her own withdrawn world. There is a profound little scene in the movie (both of them) that you might miss the first time. It's when Glinda the Good Witch tells Dorothy that she's had the power to go home all along.............

[MasterMoon]

Wizard of Oz.....a story of the four elements and spirit on the journey back home!!..Awesome flick

[Flar's Freyja]

And I live in Oklahoma - tornado alley - in a mobile home where my own house might hit me on the head........

[Earthcup]

I loved the Ghost and Mr. Chicken with Don Knotts growing up!

"And they used Bonami!":eek:

[Myst]

hehe you can really see age differences in these picks - most of us are in Legend, Labyrinth, and the Last Unicorn, then you have the Disney movies (ie. Alladin, Mermaid, Fantasia etc.) and stuff like Aristocats (newer), then stuff like the Wizard of Oz and Pollyanna (a bit older). I just find it interesting that's all :D

Labrynth
Legend
The Little Mermaid
Cinderella
Sleeping Beauty
Aladdin
The Crow (when I was a bit older)

Flar mentioned Hayley Mills.......I loved The Moonspinners....it started me reading Mary Stewart Novels which led me to my love of Mysterys.........

[Rubi Waters]

being the baby of the family i never got much choice on what i watched so went off and read somewhere or else my brother and sister delighted in making me watch things like the blob (the original) . Though for tv show I remember watching H.R. Puffinstuff alot. ( I did like the Haley Mills movies too)

[Flar's Freyja]

Can I have a favourite childhood movie as an adult? I work with kids and got to see Monsters, Inc. two days in a row!

[Twilight Garden]

I had to call my mom to figure this out because I wasn't a big fan of most normal cartoons. I was becoming worried because I couldn't think of anything. She reminded of a bunch, though. Aparently I was a Haley Mills fan, too. I liked:

[Danustouch]

heheh. My husband and I were trying to find copies of the original Grizzly Adams Movies. Found alot online..but they are WICKED expensive now, because they are collectors items. I did, however, download the theme song. I think I liked the Easter Special one the most...where Grizzy is explaining the story of Jesus to the Native Americans, and they tell him a story they have of a man suspiciously like Jesus, and there's a forest fire, and and and....

[AradiaSupernova]

hehe. yeah Flaire, very good movie :)

I first saw it when I was like...8 or 9 I think. I wasn't allowed to watch it for a while. Same with Interview With A Vampire. My Mom didn't think it was a good idea to let me and my sisters watch the movies. hehehe (same thing with Terminator 2, Lawnmower Man...)

I bought The Doors for my son - am I a bad mommie? :eek:

[AradiaSupernova]

nah. that doesn't make you a bad mommy :) My Mom basically didn't let us watch those movies for fear that we'd wind up in her bed with her and my Dad for a few nights due to being scared out of our wits.

[Old Witch]

I can't believe I forgot Thomasina........I watch it every time it's on the Disney Channel.......

[WtchyChick13]

Oh, I forgot about the Robert Logan movies:

Shipwreck and Mountain Family Robinson (I think that was the name.) They've been showing Shipwreck a lot lately on cable--I forgot how good Robert Logan looked in those jeans!!! LOL


(I was a very twisted child.) :D

[Niamh]

Those georgeous eyes :heartthro

[Angelwulfe]

peter pan (the none disney version)
the little mermaid
cinderella
i could never finish bambi because it got to sad.:(

[Earthcup]

ooohh! Thomasina! I liked The Parent Trap and Castaway too!

I had to take French for a few years(still can't parley vous!) and there were tons of Asterix books on my teachers bookshelves, all in French! :(

So all I know are the three movies I have: Asterix and Cleopatra, The 12 Tasks of Asterix and the one where the Romans kidnap Getafix....

*off to look for Asterix on ebay...*

[Earthcup]

http://asterixandco.virtualave.net/

This is a site in English. This is a great comic if you're interested in the Gauls and Celts but the Romans regularly get their butts kicked so maybe not so entertaining to those who practice Religio Romana!

[Fear-farsain]

The Dark Crystal
Labyrinth
Legend
Fire and Ice
Transformers The Movie
Princess Bride
The Flight of Dragons (I am so gutted I missed this on the Cartoon Network on Sunday, I was at work! It's proven impossible to find!)
Indiana Jones trilogy
The Goonies
Short Circuit
Batteries Not Included

There were probably lots of others, but I can't remember them all; despite being in the process of collecting them on video and DVD!

[Cinnamon Girl]

Just off the top of my head, mine were:

- The Last Unicorn (just finished reading the book for the first time - excellent! Can't wait to read more by this author)

- The Secret of NIMH (also based on a book but I haven't read it)

- Dumbo (still a tear-jerker)

- Annie

- The Neverending Story

I don't really remember a lot of kids movies. By the time I was 9 or 10 I was watching horror flicks with my Dad (warped or what!?!). I have never seen E.T. so I'm going to head to the theater when it comes out this Spring so I can see what all the fuss is about!

[Danustouch]

Oh Yeah!!!!!!! Secret of Nimh! How could I forget???

Oh..when you go to see ET...BRING TISSUES! I loved that movie, the first hundred times I watched it..lol.
