What is your favourite childhood movie?

[melodyeye]

Can anyone remember their favourite childhood movie?
I had a favourite but I forgot the name and now I am sad I would love for a little reminder of some of the movies that came out during everyone's childhood.

Rewind. 1969. NY. Me and Dad at the movies.

Film ?? ' Oliver '. Have loved it ever since and fostered my love affair with England.

Beetlejuice, Cry Baby, Edward Scissorhands, The Goonies

I have too many Childhood Favourites:

The Sandlot, Willow, Flight of the Navigator, Teen Wolf, Stand By Me, The Goonies, The Neverending Story, Short Circuit 2, Big, The Mighty Ducks (1-3), Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Gremlins, Mrs. Doubtfire, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Drop Dead Fred, Clueless, Homeward Bound, and more.

Maybe your favourite is in there somewhere.

But my favourite has to be The Sandlot. I had a huge crush on Mike Vitar who played Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez. I would recommend it to everyone and i think it might even be on YouTube .

'Peter no-tail' I think thats what it was called, cant really remember the name so it might not be! It was a cartoon film about a cat.

Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead
Halloween
Amityville Horror
The Fog
Friday 13th
Scanners
American Werewolf in London
Evil Dead
The Thing
Nightmare on Elm Street
Day of the Dead

Legend (dir. Ridley Scott) was my favourite childhood movie...so much so that I am still looking to buy the US version with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack and original run time (I believe the European version is shorter). I love 80's/90's movies too, so I must of course also add anything by John Hughes, Tim Burton and John Waters. Because they're awesome.

 

[Fat-Boy-Slimmin]

The European release is longer than the US Theatrical Cut, but it is it edited differently.

This contains both the version you want and the Directors Cut:

Amazon.com: Legend (Ultimate Edition): Tom Cruise, Alice Playten, Billy Barty, Cork Hubbert, Peter O'Farrell, Annabelle Lanyon, Robert Picardo, Tina Martin, Ian Longmur, Mike Crane, Mike Edmonds, Ridley Scott: Movies & TV

I've had it for a few years and it seems quite scarce now, so I would get one while you still can.

When I was child I like "A Little Princess" that much that I have seen. I just want to say that I wondered why I constantly confused this movie with The Secret Garden. Well I like its all of the characters as well as the role of each and every characters.

Awww, the secret garden, i forgot about that, lol. Brings back alot of memories xx
