Speaking of movies I liked as a kid

[KRCummings]

You weren't but I was so shut the fuck up.
I really liked The Apple Dumpling Gang. I saw that in the theater like 3 times I think.
Also, this really horrible Disney movie called Island at the Top of the World. I loved it as a kid but found a copy as an adult and discovered that the movie did indeed suck hairy, sweaty donkey balls.

Haha, you were a kid in the 70s!

Oh yeah, that was awesome when I saw it during its first run. Years later, not so much.

 

[Super-Surprise]

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Somewhat dated now.

indeed. the little talking, floating robots fucking drove me nuts.

 

[KRCummings]

A movie that I still like from back then is Oh, God. It's dated but not as much as it could be and Burns is just plain likable.

 

[naughtycakes]

Trenchcoat.

I watched it as an adult years ago and still loved it.

 

[KRCummings]

indeed. the little talking, floating robots fucking drove me nuts.

Especially the old beat up one that just happened to have a southern accent. Why the fuck would a robot have a southern accent?

 

[naughtycakes]

Also Dreamscape.

 

[KRCummings]

Star Wars of course but that's the easy answer.
My parents wouldn't let me watch Jaws. I should be glad because it meant I was willing to swim in the ocean for a few more years.

I saw Island at the Top of the World with my Mom as the second half of a double bill with Winnie the Pooh. Those were the first movies I ever saw in the theater, so they've always had a special place in my heart. But yeah, it really wasn't a very good movie.

I also loved The Black Hole as a kid. I watched it a few years back, and I thought the big ship was still pretty cool.

Because it was programmed in Houston.

Yes, I have the DVD; still watch it every now and then.

 

[SweetGasps]

Where the Red Fern Grows - I freaking loved that movie. I have a VHS copy in the closet somewhere.

 

[CHNOPS]

Movies were better before Obamacare.

I think that's why I liked Island and went looking for it years later. It wasn't the first movie I saw but it had to be one of the first and I had fond memories of it. Too bad it sucks.

i'm pretty sure that role is what killed slim pickens. it may have taken a few years and 1941 likely didn't help, but yeah, that's what did him in.

2001: A Space Odyssey was one of those movies that always seemed so mysterious when I was a kid. I'd watch the first hour or so, right up to the part where the Monolith on the Moon starts screeching, then I'd have to go to bed. I didn't see the rest of the damn movie until I was in college.

The Shining was the first R-rated movie that I watched on cable. It's still one of my favorite horror movies.

I guess I was a Kubrick fan from a young age.

 

[IndieSnob]

My favorite movies when I was younger...

Big Trouble In Little China - still love

Project X - What the fuck was I thinking

Pee Wee's Big Adventure - still love

Goonies - again, what the fuck was I thinking

 

[killallhippies]

c'mon. the goonies were good enough.

for me.

 

[IndieSnob]

Try being the fat kid in real life who was always made to do the truffle shuffle for the entertainment of others.

 

[loquere]

I liked mr. Smith is going to Washington & guess who's coming to dinner.

i was fat, but i hit people. hell, i stabbed one kid with a pencil once. he was an asshole. i still don't feel bad about that one.

Star Wars of course but that's the easy answer.

I saw Jaws as a teenager in a sneak-preview showing, before the hype and before anyone knew what the hell the movie was about. A true "holy shit!" moment.
