Daisy Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) There really were a lot that we watched all the time. One of them was Jumanji. It used to scare me at first. But it's a great film. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumanji_(film) Another one we watched all the times was Bednobs and Broomsticks. My parents used to have a bed like used in the film that had those nobs on the corners that you could twist off as well . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedknobs_and_Broomsticks Don't know what made me think of Jumanji. Oh, it was the video to the latest Black Eyed Peas song I recommend both! to adults too. Edited November 16, 2009 by Smarties
Nephylim Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Oh yeah.... I loved Bedknobs and Broomsticks... still do. And I loved Chitty Chitty Bang Bang too. But my favourite childhood film of all and one that I infected my daughter with too... was Doris Day in Calamity Jane... *Once I had a secret love... who lived within the heart of me. All too soon my secret love became impatient to be free.*
Bandage Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I think my favourite movie was GVR: de Grote Vriendelijke Reus (in English it's called: The BFG: The Big Friendly Giant), after Roald Dahl's book And of the Disney classics, I'd say Beauty and the Beast... 1

The BFG, yeah I remember that. Can't remember now whether I watched the film or just read the book. But I definitely read it! Or of his what about James and the Giant Peach. and the most scary of scary children's films/books. The Witches. OMG, that scared me so much. I couldn't really read it in a room alone.

Site Administrator Cia Posted November 17, 2009 Site Administrator Posted November 17, 2009 I would have to say that my favorite movie from childhood was the first one I saw in the theater at the age of 7. Willow with Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer was awesome. It had it all: sci-fi, fantasy, fairies, witches, trolls, brownies... A small strange child's smorgasboard of playtime fun afterwards. As an adult I almost squealed when I saw the special release DVD. Of course I snapped it up right away.
Toast Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 The Marx Brothers movies were favorites. "A Night At The Opera" among them Also liked the Three Stooges. And the Hope and Crosby road pictures. "Road to Morocco"
NightOwl88 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Wow....there were a lot of movies when I was a kid....I think my favorites were the Aladin Movies from Disney though. I loved Carpet and Genie.
Daisy Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 The Marx Brothers movies were favorites. "A Night At The Opera" among them Also liked the Three Stooges. And the Hope and Crosby road pictures. "Road to Morocco" I haven't seen any of them. I'll maybe have to dig them out. W.L that is typical so many people love that film. I liked it, but it wasn't my favourite.
GoWithIt Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 As a child of the 90's I am going to have to go with the Disney films. I adore Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, and Little Mermaid. There is something about the hand drawn technique that Disney used back then that gives it that something extra. The new Disney movies just can't really compare, though Up did come pretty close.
Former Member Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Beetle Juice! Beetle Juice! Beetle Juice! and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Kurt Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 'Old Yeller' was my all time favorite movie when I was younger. I would beg my parents to rent it for me every weekend that we went up to the cabin.
PlugInMatty Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 without question, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Gene Wilder was, IS, freaking amazing.
glomph Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 'Old Yeller' was my all time favorite movie A gay boy and a stray dog. But it is sad.
Site Administrator Cia Posted November 19, 2009 Site Administrator Posted November 19, 2009 without question, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Gene Wilder was, IS, freaking amazing. Oh yes, I still remember the first time I saw Willy Wonka at a sleepover when I was 7. I was soo pissed off when they remade it into the freakshow version that Depp did... it is just disturbing. P.S. I am not dissing Depp, fans of his please don't kill me, just the screenplay as written...
Prince Duchess Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 The Jungle Book cartoon version and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang were classics As well as A Christmas Story I think thats what its called with Ralphie OMG!!! and OLIVER my fave line: 'Please sir...may I please have some more' ::sad whiny pouty poor face::
TetRefine Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Any of the '3 Ninjas' movies were always great to watch.
Daisy Posted November 20, 2009 Author Posted November 20, 2009 It's so great remembering all these films. I'd forgotten about some of them and how great they were.
jovian_w2002 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 All Dogs go to Heaven I loved that film! Personally, my favorite childhood film (and it still resonates heavily with me today) would be Hotaru no haka (Grave of the fireflies). Yep, I was exposed to such tragic films when I was little Mum and I used to watch that film together on VCR once every few months
