Your favorite movie from your childhood

[BladeRunner2007]

What's your favorite movie from your childhood/teenage years?

Mine was: Bloodsport (1988)

A close 2nd and 3rd fave was: No Retreat, No Surrender (1986) & Kickboxer (1989)

Yeah, I was and still am a huge Van Damme fan

[cemetaryrider89]

Probably Uncommon Valor, Twister, Rocky iv, and Lethal Weapon.

I could probably make a list of all the films that were my favourite at one time or another. Obviously it's Blade Runner nowadays (and has been since I was about fifteen, I think), but otherwise, these have all been #1 at one time or another. They rotated a lot throughout my school years.

Alien
American Psycho
Batman Begins (lulwut)
A Clockwork Orange
Donnie Darko
Easy Rider
The Godfather
Gone with the Wind
The Graduate
Quadrophenia
Raging Bull
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Straw Dogs
Taxi Driver
Trainspotting

[Cremildo]

Pete's Dragon, The Lion King, Jurassic Park.

[L.J.]

Raiders of the Lost Ark and Rocky 4

[Infernal King]

Sleeping Beauty, which I've seen more times than any other film, and is still my all-time favorite

[Ray Jackson]

I can't even watch it anymore.

...it makes me feel so old and sad.

[Creed]

Tron Legacy. Loved the film. Would watch it over and over,

You were watching American Psycho, Clockwork Orange and Straw Dogs as a child?

...that explains a lot.

It was my favorite movie then, it's my favorite movie now. I really don't see anything ever topping this for me.

Either Big Trouble in Little China, or An American Werewolf in London. Not my favorite films, not even a top 5 list. Each hold sentimental value, though. Trouble in China was the first movie I remember laughing out loud and not giving a damn how loud we were because my dad was cracking up, especially since my grandparents had to leave because grandma couldn't take it. LOL pawpaw didn't mind, he was laughing too. Werewolf in London is the first movie I can remember my dad arguing with my mom as to whether I could handle it, basically. Can't remember if it was on HBO or they rented it, but I had to be 6 or 7 at the time.

My top 5 I'd say were:

Jurassic Park
Aladdin
The Neverending Story
The Land Before Time
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I & 2

Teen years is easy: Star Wars. I was in high school when that came out and I can still remember feeling slightly stunned leaving the theater that night.

Childhood is a tougher call. The Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies, maybe. Those were always a favorite when WGN would cycle them during their Sunday Matinee series.

[Michael24]

Childhood: Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark (was obsessed with both equally)

Teen: Jurassic Park

[sandman slim]

As a kid, The Wizard of Oz, partly because it was legit awesome, partly because we got to see it once a year. CBS showed it every Easter weekend; a movie that you could see again... and again. How cool! Then, when I was 10, Star Wars came out, and I spent the summer in the local movie theater. Must have seen that 20 times over the next year.

[Mr.Twinks]

Probably Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back, Poltergeist and Aliens. Seen these all when they first came out in the cinema. They rank pretty high on my list today of all the movies I have seen.

[L.J.]

Superman 2 is another one. Teen years is Braveheart by far.

[headphones]

As odd as it sounds. I didn't have a favorite movie as a child. I pretty much liked any movie I saw as a kid.

I thought about The Wizard of Oz too and precisely because the annual airing was such a big deal back then. It was right up there anticipation-wise with things like the Grinch, Rankin/Bass and the Peanuts holiday movies.

Childhood: Three-way tie between What's Up, Doc?, Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World all of which I saw twice in the cinema.

Teenage: 2001: A Space Odyssey, still the only film I've gone back to see a second time in as many weeks.
