STILL a rude little **** arent you? And you are so right seeing as you are here.....I tend to refrain from those threads.... 😱 Ciao

This thread reminds me alot of my thread here http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f2/t302535.html

Well, many of my favorites wouldn't be considered "best" of that era (e.g. I have fond memories of movies like "Popeye", "Clash of the Titans" and "Death on the Nile", which had relatively little critical acclaim).

For a long block of years, I usually associated a specific year with the BIG movie that I saw:

1976--Close Encounters of the Third Kind
1977--Star Wars
1978 & 79--??? (more memories of TV, specifically "Mork and Mindy"😉
1980--The Empire Strikes Back
1981--Raiders of the Lost Ark
1982--E.T.
1983--Return of the Jedi
1984--Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
1985--Back to the Future

Any movie from 1987 with the exception of Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie and Masters of the Universe.

honey i shrunk the kids

Hey everyone,

My husband & I are moving to our first house, and I was packing up a whole bunch of stuff we had packed away, when I came across a load of movies I used to watch as a kid. Man, those are memories! I was wondering if anyone had seen these, or remembers others, as I'm pretty sure I've seen more than what is on this list, but I don't have that kind of memory! I put them in order of my preference!

The Goonies
Labyrinth
Care Bears 2 - A new Beginning
Rainbow Brite (all movies the same)
Honey I Shrunk the Kids
Alice in Wonderland (Disney)
Back to the Future (whole series)

There's more, but I'm at work, and they're at home, and like I said...my memory... 😉

I loved most of the ones on your list they we're all great. I loved Back to the future,Honey I shrunk the kids, and of course the Goonies.
Some other ones that I remember watching alot as a kid are:

The wizard of Oz
An American Tale
Stand by me
The lost boys
Marry Poppins
My Girl
Home Alone

Oh my, now I feel dumb! How in the world could I have forgotten "Stand by Me!"? My cousin & I drove our parents mad with that one too! But yes, I loved all the movies on your list too! Wow, so many memories!

It's a tough choice, but my favorite as a kid was either The Village, Saw, or The Incredibles.

the lost boys and superman...i loved 'em

oh yeah mary poppins.. first time i saw it (4 years) i remember i found it scary (since mary was able to fly etc.)
i also remember when i was 5 i cried while watching bambi!! lol
