Oh there are so many that I left off my list that have been mentioned since. It's all coming back now.
Must agree with Jim though on Grease. Great film, great songs.

When I was much younger, I was a huge fan of all the John Hughes films. I watched The Breakfast Club at least once a week. Some of his other films I really liked were Weird Science, Ferris Bueller, and Uncle Buck. Just off the top of my head, those were some of my favorites. I was also known to enjoy The Bad News Bears from time to time.

| What are we talking about as "childhood"? I am picking movies from when I was like 6 and 7 but there is a whole other list from when I was like 13 and 14. I didn't see a lot of the movies listed here until I was older, and even if I DID see them at 8 or 9, I am sure I didn't know what was funny or good about them. |

Good point from ramona but I unfortunately cannot remember very much at all from when I was 6 or 7, never mind the movies I may have watched. Anyone else have this problem? (no ageist jokes from Cheeseman please)

Well, I will just generalize and pick other favorites from when I was "growing up".
Dirty Dancing (I saw this movie four times in the theater. I was obsessed. I saw it recently and was like "eh, what a dumb movie!" Oh well)
The Princess Bride
Grease
The Little Mermaid (by Disney. My best friend and I would watch this all the time and sing every song)
Pretty Woman (the BF and I watched this endlessly)
Say Anything (still love this one!)
Willy Wonka
The Wizard of Oz
The Breakfast Club & Sixteen Candles & Pretty in Pink (viva Molly Ringwald)
The Lost Boys (another one I watched ENDLESSLY)
Young Guns (see above; it's all about Kiefer)
When Harry Met Sally (this seems kind of mature to me now, but I thought it was great when I was about 14)
I know there are more... |

Hang on a minute!!! Aren't you a bit too young for these films to be your childhood favourites? You weren't even born when most of these were released.

Yeah, notice how she basicly copied my list and added a few to make it look like she's legit.

Oh, I thought of a few more
An American Tale (depressing)
The Land Before Time (depressing)
God, there were some really fuckin depressing kids movies back then. No wonder there's a generation of warped adults.

My favorite childhood movie was,
The Hills Have Eyes
It's about this family of inbreds that lives up in the hills and when people breakdown along the highway that goes through the area, they torture and kill them. I think they eat them too. I don't remember much, I was about six when I saw it. I think it's by Disney. It came out in the early seventies. It wasn't quite as popular as Bambi (no toy line or anything). |

When I was a wee one, I loved the SW movies(no surprizes there) But E.T and Close Encounters also had a big impact. And E.T scared me, too! But I could'nt watch the end of Close Encounters for years, 'cos I was scared of the aliens....also, I was obsessed with Gremlins and Ghostbusters, particularly Gremlins. Before I saw them, I had these cool movie tie-in magazines. Ah, is'nt childhood so strange?

I actually prefer Gremlins 2 'cos it's bloody hilarious. Especially the one who drinks the potion that makes him super intelligent.

Do you murder people? Were you in 'Wrong Turn' playing yourself?
That's some disturbing stuff to be watching as a 6 year old.

It truly was some disturbing stuff to be seeing as a six year old. My parents were divorced and my father used to take me to the drive in to see these flicks. My grandmother use to freak out when I'd come home and tell her I had seen Soilent Green or The Hills Have Eyes. The most disturbing was Alice Sweet Alice. It was Brooke Shields first movie appearance. Real trippy stuff. Gave me nightmares for awhile. If you can hunt it down it's actually pretty good.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang scared the living shit out of me! I refused to get in our car because i was afraid it would fly if we started singing! My parents still joke about it to this day. Cars belong on the ground!
