Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 29, 2012 Members Share Posted April 29, 2012 What are the movies you watched in your childhood that give you a wave of instant nostalgia? When I think about this, I almost always think of a certain group of movies that I watched constantly between the ages of 7-10. They are: A Little Princess (1995 version) Matilda Harriet the Spy Annie (1982 version) The Baby Sitters Club Movie The Parent Trap (both versions with Hayley Mills AND Lindsay Lohan) Madeline The Secret Garden (1987 Hallmark TV movie version) And I also have to include my favorite Disney movie: Peter Pan, because it's just feels right to me. And The Brave Little Toaster, Pinocchio, and 101 Dalmatians (animated version), as those are the Disney movies I remember watching most as a kid. Also, a special mention to the movie Poltergeist, which I saw for the first time at the age of 9 or 10 (probably 10), and introduced me to the horror genre . I used to watch it over and over.

LOL. Zenon, The Thirteenth Year, Smart House, Johnny Tsunami, The Color of Friendship, Quints, The Other Me, Mom's Got a Date With A Vampire, Motocrossed, Cadet Kelly, Get a Clue, Gotta Kick it Up, The Cheetah Girls, and Pixel Perfect. I remembered one movie & the memories started flooding in & I found the rest on Wikipedia! OMG! Yes to all of these. The Sandlot One of my favorite movies ever, that movie NEVER gets old for me. Don't even get me started on Matilda. "We love our bread and butter....but most of all, we love each other" LOL. Bright Eyes thank you for specifying the only Home Alone movies that mattered! LOL. Those movies bring back soo many memories! As for favorite Disney movie, it has to be Aladdin. I have always been attached to that movie for some reason. Can I mention my least favorite disney movie to? MissLlanviewPA, when I saw you mention the Brave Little Toaster it immediately brought back bad memories for me. Just UGH. Hated everything about that that movie, I always thought it was scary and stupid. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted April 29, 2012 Members Share Posted April 29, 2012 I've never actually seen this movie, but I literally moved to America right after it came out and on my very first day of school, the teacher told the everyone that I'd just moved there from South Africa and some kid shouted out "IT'S JUST LIKE THE COLOR OF FRIENDSHIP!!!!!!!!!" and later I was ambushed in the hallway by 10 kids asking me like a million questions about it.

Members I Am A Swede Posted April 29, 2012 Members Share Posted April 29, 2012 This one, without a doubt! It was shown on Swedish tv every year on the 23rd of December, and now it wouldn't be Christmas without it. They stopped showing it in the late 1980s, so thank heaven for dvd.....

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2012 I was 12-13 when I saw The Boy Who Could Fly for the first time (okay, and Annie Hall, too), and I watched those two over and over, so I'll count it, LOL.

Members Bright Eyes Posted April 29, 2012 Members Share Posted April 29, 2012 I can't believe I forget Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That and Space Jam! To this day I always get those two confused. LoL And we cannot forget all those Olsen twin mini movies they had. Then there was It Takes Two (I'll always like it better than The Parent Trap! ) And, of course, Double Double, Toil and Trouble (or something to that effect.) The one where the grandmother's an evil witch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted April 29, 2012 Members Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yes, Danny! I usually hate all and every animal movie, but Homeward Bound is the exception. When Spike (Is that the dumb one's name?) gets hit by a procupine, part of me dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted April 29, 2012 Members Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yeah, probably. I haven't watched it in awhile. If I ever get a dog, it's going to be the same breed. I love Chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members darraholic Posted April 29, 2012 Members Share Posted April 29, 2012 The entire movie is on youtube. Search it and it should come up. I might watch it later tonight for some fond memories. The names were Shadow, Chance (Voiced by Michael J Fox) and Sassy (Voiced by Sally Field). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
