Hello. My name is Iñigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

That is quite possibly one of the greatest movie quotes ever.

I also enjoyed watching Cats Don't Dance when I was a wee lad.

Ahh, I remember that movie! The songs were kinda catchy. And Darla = EXTREMELY CREEPY. She's not even cute. She's, like deformed...

You know, I don't think I've acually ever seen that movie.
And it was The Lord of the Rings.
Duh.

Duh.

Lord of the Rings? But that was filmed in New Zealand..... Isn't New Zealand the ultimate enemy of Teh Oz?

As for mine...... I loved the Monty Python flicks since I was about five (my parents didn't pay much attention to what I was watching). Other ones that I loved as a wee 'un: The Quiet Man, Roxanne, Breakfast Club, and anything with Danny DeVito, Steve Martin and Whoopi Goldberg.

Yep, I'm an 'Eighties child alright.

Beyond the Grave · **Posted:** Fri Mar 31, 2006 2:36 pm

I almost forgot this one, Rudy. I loved that movie. That movie made me in to Notre Dame fan.

The Jerk is the best Steve Martin movie EVER!
"He hates the cans! Stay away from the cans!"

Ok, so it wasn't an 80's movie (barely), but it was still funny.

Speaking of 80's movies, I never got into the Molly Ringwald movies that much.
I loved 80's Tom Cruise, though. Top Gun and Rain Man are still among my favorites, and, of course, what guy didn't do that whole "slide across the floor in you socks and sing Old Time Rock and Roll in their undawears" thing?

Hmm... I can't think of many movies that I liked when I was younger that were probably a little old for me. Except for maybe Men in Black. That's a wicked sweet movie, but I was older when it came out. Not LITTLE little. I'm not sure of exactly how old I was...

I saw Batman (the Tim Burton film) in theatres when I was 9 or so. It was the first PG-13 movie I ever saw.

John Hughes movies were okay, but I never really got into them. I remember later on in high school, I took an acting class with a bunch of kids who worshipped Hughes. They were doing scenes from The Breakfast Club as assignments. It got kinda creepy.

I watched Blade a lot when I was 5/6.

Apparently I was too young to see that movie when it came out

My mom wouldn't let me....I recently did watch it on VHS, and it seemed all too short. I really wish I had seen it in theaters.

I also had a period where I watched Taxi Driver every day when I was 5. For like two weeks. Same with A Clockwork Orange.

PizzaTrophy · **Posted:** Fri Mar 31, 2006 11:25 pm

Yu watched Clockwork Orange when you were 5? :eek:

Jibbly.

I loved All Dogs Go To Heaven, The Lion King, and other assorted Disney movies, andf Drop Dead Fred was hilarious (I made your sweater stripey)

I really loved the Chipmunks movie, where they and the Chipettes went all around the world looking for dolls with money and diamonds stuffed in them from that evil couple, all the while dodging Dave while we went on his own round the world pursuit.
Watched that religiously.

Wayne's World. Completely.

When I was little, I spent more than half of my day watching Disney movies and Star Wars. I remeber seeing Ferris Bueller and Days of Thunder, too. And I luuurrrvved The Nightmare Before Christmas, but my mom thought it was too... dead... or something.

I totally say to rock on. Exept for the Wesley being a hottie part. I'm a guy.

I also enjoyed the Aristocrats as a child.

When I was little, I loved Anastasia. I had the soundtrack, and the paper dolls (paper dolls... whatever happened to those?), and saw it a bunch of times. The kicker: I saw it on TV a little while ago, and I still completely love it.

Ah, that reminds me of something! When I was little, I used to love Mary Poppins. There was a scene in it, where the closets and chests in the nursery would go insane, that always made me crack up. Then, when it game out in Special Edition, I rented it, and as soon as that scene came along, I was in fits laughing! It's still freakin' hilarious!

I liked The Sandlot.

Oh God. The Goonies, The Secret of NIMH, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Encino Man, The Little Mermaid, Flight of the Navigator, The Neverending Story, Return to Oz, The Great Outdoors, The Princess Bride, and a bunch of others I can't think of right now. Lots. I was quite the movie fiend.

Krazed Squirell · **Posted:** Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:45 pm

Bah! The Goonies, I always forget The Goonies. I gotta quit doing that.

Cybernetic Teenybopper · **Posted:** Mon Apr 03, 2006 7:44 pm

And Secret of NIHM! That one of my old childhood favorites that I always forget. Dang! I can't remember anything about it, though, except that I read the book too.

I just bought the DVD a couple of weeks ago for $9 at Future Shop. Dang, I forgot how sexy Justin the Rat is.
