Your favorite movie from your childhood

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.

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.

The following all had the title at one time or another, iirc (roughly chronological)

Halloween is Grinch Night
The Great Mouse Detective
Back to the Future
The Matrix
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Jaws
The Devil's Rejects
Casino

I find it mindblowing that someone less than 15 years old would have this at the top of their list, let alone someone whose rest of their list looks like yours.
