Fast Times at Ridgemont High

and its not even close.

I was 11 when I first saw Phoebe Cates coming out of the pool. I haven't let go of "it" ever since.

[Lukie]

I'd probably have to say Back to the Future (pt. 1) and Independence Day. I think at one point in time, I could have recited any line (or speech) in either of those two movies.

While it is in fact the best scene in any movie evar*, you weren't a child when you got done watching it. Every mans balls dropped at the exact moment they saw this scene, this removing it from the "greatest movie of your childhood" argument.

*unless of course you're a complete nut job and think that the Aliens Scene where the face hugger gets that dude for the first time when he's peering into the egg is teh greatest scene in any movie evar.

Is it alien propaganda?

[drmcboy]

my first instinct when you said "greatest" was Amazing Grace and Chuck, I think of greatest and favorite differently. Kids was a great movie but I didn't want to see it twice.

Goonies/Ferris/NES/Back2F/Princess Bride/Ghostbusters all movies I watched more than 25 times.

My little siblings watched Milo and Otis, Beauty and the Beast, Alladin and Jungle Book so much I could speak/sing along with every line

[jyms]

Star Wars, Jaws and Smokey and the Bandit

I was 13

"Here comes the dog. ::woof:: Strong and proud. ::woof::"

Or something like that.

[will641]

[Hawk]

Goonies and Back to the Future are so far above everything else its not funny.

And I don't remember it much because I was younger, but I was really into Smokey and the Bandit too.

Oh yeah, and the karate kid was pretty damn good too.

The other answers you guys had that I really liked was ghostbusters, sword in the stone, ferris beuller, and tmnt.

Was it hard being the kid who rode the shortbus to school and had to have a diaper and a helmet all day long?

It's the goonies, and no-one is going to even try to convict me for treason for having said it... because I'm right!!!

Oh, and the Phoebe Cates scene is absolutely one of the greatest EVER. PERIOD.

[ensign_lee]

What the heck is teh goonies?! I mean, really.

and from childhood? I guess early childhood, teh Lion King. I watched that soo many times it drove my parents nuts.

later on, independence day, definitely.

[Pythonic]

Goonies easily #1!

[ChrisBCritter]

Awesome thread. So many good flicks.

GOONIES is the easy winnar here. LOL at ensign_lee and spenda not having seen it. It is EPIC.

Sandlot and Never Ending Story are tied for a close second place though...

The bot mentioned another lesser known masterpiece: The Dark Crystal. This was the first movie that I both loved and was scared of at the same time.

Didn't "Fraggle Rock" have a movie made? I can't remember now...but they were AWESOME.

For whatever reason, a movie that I had instantly thought of from my childhood was "Death Becomes her" I swear that my siblings and I watched the "Fall down Stairs" scene at the end of that for HOURS on end laughing constantly...

EDIT: What about "Lean on Me"???!!! The leeches!!

[chardrian]

Even shemales would find Boogie Nights inappropriate for children.

[chardrian]

Field of Dreams.
Hoosiers.
Gremlins.
War Games.
Short Circuit.
Revenge of the Nerds.
Cocoon.
