Favourite childhood movie?

**coqauvin** · 12-09-2009, 12:06 PM

aside from being my favourites as a kid, those were actually the best produced stories coming out for kids at that time

don bluth is a fuckin genius, and it showed with those two movies in particular, and the sandlot is, in my opinion, the best coming-of-age story that hollywood has ever come out with - it's well-produced, excellently written and sincere about what it is, which includes a healthy dose of fun

I am surprised by the lack of Pixar.

Toy Story

Cool Runnings (Received this in my basket for Easter one year and watched it, no joke, 8 times in a row. Terrible parenting, but I can now quote the entire movie)

Jurassic Park (I. LOVE. DINOSAURS. My memory of going to see this film goes as such; I don't recall much but I can remember my mom being like "Okay now TOGS, just remember that the dinosaurs in this movie are NOT real. So don't be too scared." Needless to say, I loved and still love that movie.)

i use to watch that movie often on the disney channel. as i remember it was a remarkably dark movie for one that was intended for children, though i probably was projecting my own unhappiness onto it as well.

damn, that was made in 1989... i didn't realize it was quite that old.

wow, and it apparently was released on the same day as the little mermaid, which i also didn't realize was so old.

and yeah, a lot of critics at the time did remark on its very dark material for a children's movie.

hell, pixar movies are some of my favorite movies now. forget about just when i was a child.

for a while around its release, i declared finding nemo to be one of the greatest films ever made in any genre. my praise is a little more tempered now, but it still is an awesome movie.

when i was a really young kid, i was addicted to the old 1971 willy wonka and the chocolate factory. my parents got very sick of that movie.

It was also her last role; her father Jozsef Barsi murdered both her and her mother Maria Barsi on July 25, 1988, before the film was completed.
