Favorite Childhood Movies

Recommended Posts

Man, I feel old. Some of these movies being posted are ones I watched with my kids!

I loved most of the old Disney movies, not cartoons, with "The Apple Dumpling Gang" being one of my favorites.

Have you seen "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Horrible, horrible . . .



Perhaps that's b/c you were already, like, super-old when it first came out.


I would have been . . . 13? Yeah, I guess that is super old. ;)

Seriously. Even at that early age I knew what was charming versus hackneyed and Bedknobs just didn't stand up compared to Poppins.

Bedknobs & Broomsticks was a favorite of mine.

But the all-time favorite of mine was Yellow Submarine.

Saw it when I was about 5 & loved it. & I still do!:)
edited: I also loved my first horror movie: The Tarantula! (60s monster flick about a tarantula that is given radioactive experimental food & grows really big)

Speed Racer

You just reminded me---I've never seen the end of "Old Yeller".

Nor have I seen the middle of many "Lassie" episodes. Forget Timmy. If Lassie was in trouble, I was a nervous wreck until the always happy ending.

For me, my first "horror" movie was Disney's "Alice in Wonderland". Everyone was fucking mean in Wonderland. I especially didn't care for later when Tom Petty did a musical video featuring the band members eating Alice who had a cake-like center.:(

I think I liked "Bedknobs and Broomsticks," but I don't remember it very well.

"Grease" was one of my favorite childhood movies. And I remember having fun seeing "The Bad News Bears" at the drive-in when I was five or six years old, but I don't remember that movie very well either.

Edit: Oh, and "The Wizard of Oz," of course! :)

Don't get me started on "Grease". Sight unseen in years, starting with the opening song I can recite every character's line & lyric from start to finish.:$

I even played both Rizzo and Sandy in "Grease" on two separate occasions in school.

I think I went through three video tapes of that movie when I was little. And of course I watched all things Travolta during this time, as well. "Staying Alive" is another all-time favorite.:$

I remember being so excited when Jackie from "Staying Alive" (Cynthia Rhodes) later showed up as Penny in "Dirty Dancing".

I'm really ruining my reputation in this thread.:D

But, unlike quade, I had like just been born when "Staying Alive" released.;):P

Although I was more of a pre-teen than a child, my favorites were almost anything John Belushi did.

Animal House

and of course one of the all time classics:

Blues Brothers

OMG, Benji was SO cute!



I am just terribly thankful that someone else remembers Benji, too! ;)

On another note, Grease was the first rated-PG movie that I ever got to see and I thought I was very grown up to get to go. I distinctly remember, however, that I had no idea what they meant when they were talking about "jugs." :D

My goodness all such great movies and memories to read through. my first movie with my dad at the theatre was 20,000 leagues under the sea. I really kept my eyes closed half the time. Old Yeller was the first movie I remember seeing at the theatre that I really liked. I saw Wizard of Oz at home and stuck my head under the couch every time that witch showed up.-caress;)

I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being
right.
