Childhood-defining movies?

Recommended Posts

My favourites were Disney ones, like the others. The Fox and the Hound and Hercules ftw.

 

Other than that, The Land Before Time and The Iron Giant were very good.

Ooooh! I forgot Sailor Moon R: The Movie (dubbed in Chinese). Don't really remember it, other than there was a lot of dying, mutant people, and some nakedness. And it takes place in space.

Anything creative I have EVER done can find it's origin in either Pee Wee's Big Adventure or Return to Oz.

Alien/Aliens.

Terminator 1/2.

Edward Scissorhands.

 

THE childhood movies, for me. I grew up watching these 5 more than any other. Labyrinth is completely anonymous over here, it's quite funny, actually.

Clue

Spaceballs

Jurassic Park

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

 

Clue and Spaceballs are because we had them taped from the TV so I watched them to death!

I remember Toy Story and A Bug's life being some of my favorites early on. Particularly I remember the long wait between seeing A Bug's Life in the theater and the day it came out on VHS. I still remember going to the video store to buy a copy. I also remember the Buzz Lightyear movie and watching the telivions series that followed it, but I was a little bit older at that point.

 

Star Wars came next. My dad introduced me to the original series and a year, or maybe it was a few years after that, the Phantom Menace was announced. I remember not being allowed to see it in the theater due to my sister also wanting to go, and my parents thinking that it might scare her, as she was only 3 or something like that at the time. Needless to say, I was quite annoyed by that, but I saw it when it finally came out on VHS and, enjoyed it, only being a kid at the time.

No no. Those are the surnames of the two actors. Hans Kevin and Greg "Dutch" Bacon.

Good to see a lot of people also saying An American Tail & Land Before Time.

 

My list:

 

An American Tail

The Land Before Time

All Dogs Go to Heaven

Rescuers (& Down Under)

Home Alone 1 + 2

Jurassic Park

Toy Story

Lion King

 

The top three are films my childeren would be sure be sat infront of if I ever get round to having any.

I liked a lot more Disney films too, Jungle Book and Robin Hood being two I loved. Also, I think Jaws has mildly scarred me.
