PLFXpert 0 #1 July 22, 2007 Apparently some of mine NO-ONE has heard of. My poll is simple. Have you seen "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"? I was thinking of adding it to our Netflix queue as BZ has never seen it (and I don't think I've seen it since I was 10). But, I remember when my college roommate & good friend (wickedly smart) mentioned she'd never seen "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". Of course, I rented it right away (How the hell do you grow up not having seen that?). She thought it was cute but...well, she was seeing it for the first time in 1998 so... What are/were some of your favorites?Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What planet are they from, and when did they arrive? It's a gift, I don't try to explain it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #4 July 22, 2007 Grew up in a conservative family and school. We only got to see the movies they showed there. So, those were what I was exposed to and guess consider my fav's of childhood. Ones like: Son of Flubber The Absent Minded Professor The Shaggy Dog Follow Me Boys! Off school grounds I'd have to say my fav was "Sound of Music". Kind of still have that one as a classic enjoyment from time to time. And can you believe I've found some people haven't seen it! For this thread, I consider anything post about 12 years old being not in 'childhood' anymore...ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #13 July 23, 2007 QuoteHave you seen "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"? Horrible, horrible . . . Walt once said, referring to the success of The Three Little Pigs, that "Ya can't top pigs with pigs" and after his death it appears that nobody listened when it came to the success of Mary Poppins. Bedknobs and Broomsticks ain't no Mary Poppins. But on to movies that were childhood favorites that NOBODY has ever heard of . . . how 'bout My Side of the Mountain? Another favorite, for no particular reason . . . Mr. Bug Goes to Town. Obviously I didn't see this in first release, but I do remember fondly watching it at a Parks and Recreation movie program we had in the neighborhood.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
