The greatest movie of your childhood

[Galapogos]

Short Circuit.

Awesome, forgot to mention this one.

[Thunder]

Ghostbusters, Jaws, Superman, ET, The Thing, Airplane!, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future are all in there.


But it was Superman that I watched every single day for about 2 years so........


And without sounding like an old fart, they don't make 'em like they used to.

[sandstorm]

Home Alone anyone

[a500lbgorilla]

Home Alone is a solid play in this spot

[Pino_Diablo]

Mary Poppins
Ben Hur
2001 a Space Odyssey

you watched Superman in your highchair, right?

[frosst]

need to change this thread favorite movies because not all these movies are from the poster's childhood imo. also, what about Big Trouble in Little China? Epic

and what about Batteries not Included? that was a good one.

[GatorJH]

Even shemales would find Boogie Nights inappropriate for children.

yea, I got carried away with just movies and forgot the childhood part.

Although my wife claims that I am still childish most of the time. Does that count?

[Thunder]

Why?

[a500lbgorilla]

Really old men always used to always tell me I looked like the kid in this movie. Since my name is Shane, they always thought i was insane for having never seen it.

karate kid is my updated winner

so I recently bought karate kid and made my girlfriend sit down and watch it with me. Not once but twice she fell asleep halfway through while I enjoyed the whole thing. I'm still pissed at her.

[XTR1000]

maybe i should post this in anonymous confessions, but i watched "bodyguard" like a million times.

[a500lbgorilla]

trip should revive annon confess, that thread was sick.

I really hate it when that happens. I don't even know why we care, we still got to see the movie. But a good movie is like a religion, you're not truly happy until everyone you know is into it too,

This and Terminator 2

[WildBobAA]

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2

How has this not been at least mentioned yet?

[WildBobAA]

Some other movies I loved were Rookie of the Year and Angels in the Outfield. The Sandlot is obviously king of all baseball movies.

Also, those not saying Sandlot:

A. Have not seen the movie
B. Have caught teh ghey
C. ARE KILLING ME SMALLS

[Thunder]

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2

How has this not been at least mentioned yet?

'Cause it's a steaming pile of shit.

[WildBobAA]

W/e, Ninja Turtles were the shit.

[Jack Sawyer]

Oh yeah, Pink Panther.

Too bad I saw it while I was already pretty old, so I did not count it.

But them were great movies

[a500lbgorilla]

TMNT 1 and 2 were clearly awesome

Discussion otherwise will be squelched because it is obviously filled with logical fallacies and brimming with stupidity.

[Deuce Blue]

Star Wars and its not even fucking CLOSE for anyone born in 68-72 or so. I mean the opening scene where the Star Destroyer fills up the whole screen. Jesus himself could have sat in the seat beside me and I wouldn't have looked away.

This whole sandlot and goonies smack flying around needs addressed. Seriously, alot of us were a bit old for those to be considered a childhood movie. And honestly, neither were THAT great. sandlot was a good film but come on, you can't compare it to Star Wars. That shit was the most advanced special effects at the time. I had NO other toys from that point on. It was Star Wars or nothing. I mean not alot of fun with those Sandlot action figures.

[Galapogos]

Yeah but who born anywhere from 1968-1972 even knows about or uses the internet?

old man crazy over here is trying to tell us goonies is too new to be considered a childhood movie. allow me to laugh audibly.

[davegrohl]

Goonies easily #1!

QFT

#2 Hot Shots
#3 Army of Darkness

[Deuce Blue]

Goonies easily #1!

#3 Army of Darkness

Army of Darkness, are you kidding me. Were you even aware that was the 3rd installment of that movie. Evil Dead 1 (1981) and Evil Dead 2 (1987). Army of Darkness takes off where Evil Dead 2 ends. You like Army of Darkness you HAVE to see Evil Dead 2. Evil Dead 1 was bad. Evil Dead 2 is bad, but so bad its good. A CLASSIC. Much better the Army of Darkness.

Goonies #1 still makes me LOL.

[Deuce Blue]

No, old man crazy is trying to tell you Goonies was cute, but c'mon, the BEST childhood movie? If thats true its just sad thats all.

Saw Tango & Cash again yesterday, it still rocks. Teri Hatcher dancing to Don't Go, anyone?

Also, Spaceballs, and Showdown in Little Tokyo.

[a500lbgorilla]

I didnt see Tango and Cash til i was 20 and can confirm it rocks.
