@dabee: yup.

@dabee: I wish...

Rush Hour

Space Jam

The Lion King

Face/Off

Mulan

I watched these films so many times when I was a kid I can recall every minute of them almost perfectly.

Superman, Lion King, Space Jam, the first Pokémon movie and Iron Giant.

The Sandlot, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Space Jam, Batman & Robin, Mulan. They pretty much defined my time in the single digits.

Back to the Future- A charming movie.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High- This is a wild and crazy film.

Dazed and Confused- Great film.

Star Wars- Legendary.

The Karate Kid- "Sweep the Leg".

And many more.

@citizenbane: Haha, Space Jam and Rush Hour. Excellent choices!

Kicks to the face aren't allowed...

...wins via kick to the face.

@deranged_midget: Thanks :) I still maintain that the first Rush Hour is the greatest movie ever made, Scorsese be damned.

1. Star wars : the return of the jedi.

2. The dirty dozens

3. Die Brucke.

4. Gandhi.

5. Conan the Barbarian.

Cant believe I forgot that one.

I would have a hard time arguing that point ;) Jackie and Chris had fantastic chemistry together! The action and the humour can't be replicated!

Although, I still greatly enjoyed the second and third film!

Spider-Man,Batman and Robin,X-Men,Blade and maybe Star Wars I:The Phantom Menace.

• Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (it was Warriors of the Wind when I was a wee lad)
• The Last Unicorn
• The Dark Crystal
• Transformers the Movie
• Inner Space / Gremlins 2 / Beetlejuice / Ghostbusters 1 & 2 / Willow

It's hard to narrow it down to just 5 films. I devoured movies as a kid but these were the ones that I watched so many times I remember breaking the VHS/Betamax tapes (when the tape would unravel/tangle in the machine). I still have the VHS tapes of Warriors of the Wind (Nausicaa), The Last Unicorn, and Transformers actually. Those three films were so major as a kid...they flipped my world around. And they've held up to time. Still great films today.

1. Star Wars

2. Jurassic Park

3. Ninja Turtles

4. Aliens

5. Predator

O_O

Your youth?

12 years-old when Starship Troopers came out and I watched Predator on VHS.

1. Ghost Busters: "Are you the Gate Keeper?"

2. The Blues Brothers: "We're on a mission from God." ( Back when I was still my daddies little girl.)

3. The Princess Bride: "As you wish."

4. Labyrinth: "Nothing!... Nothing... Tra la la."

5. The Dark Crystal: "Ya look like Gelfling... Smell like Gelfling... Maybe ya are Galfling!"

Ah okay. I imagined you as an awesome 7 year old watching those films xD

1. Star Wars

2. Superman 2

3. Goonies

4. Monster Squad

5 Transformers: The movie (Animated)

My dad let me watch American Werewolf in London when I was like 6

Ugh... Man, that gave me nightmares when I first watched it...

Were you really frightened?

Star Wars (1977)

Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

Raiders of the Lost Ark

King Kong (1978)

Conan the Barbarian (1982) gets an honorable mention

I am sure I am overlooking others it was such a long time ago...

and apparently in a galaxy far away......

^__^ Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie. =D That and the old Alice In Wonderland. ^__^ Always forget about the sequel to Beauty and the Beast but I can relate to this song a lot from it;

@deranged_midget: @yourneighborhoodcomicgeek: I wasn't really frightened but I do think the werewolf Nazi thing warped me, also it was the first time I ever saw boobs in a movie

@joshmightbe: I bet that was the breast part of the movie.

@yourneighborhoodcomicgeek: Well I was 6 and wasn't sure what boobs were for yet so honestly the werewolf was a way bigger draw

@joshmightbe: Ah, I see. I probably would have discarded breasts if I saw them at a young age. I saw RoboCop when I was young and I didn't even remember seeing boobies until I re-watched it a few years ago.

Someone read a Cracked article today.

#originality

@cattlebattle: More like months ago, and I think I read Buzzfeed's one. Doesn't make the point any less valid or funny.

Forgive me, I'll be sure to cite the source of every little bit of information I've obtained from elsewhere from now on.

#AndusinghashtagsistotallyoriginalbrobutdontforgettomentionugottheideafromTwitterkthxbye

@yourneighborhoodcomicgeek: I grew up with R rated 80s movies so I was pretty desensitized to boobs by the time I was old enough to enjoy them properly

The Goonies (Just.. wow. Adore this movie even still)

Lion King.

@joshmightbe: I understand where you're coming from. I think my simplistic brain just disregarded that as something common in movies...although I wasn't wrong...

The Sixth Man (First movie I ever saw in theaters... Don't know why, I was three)

Lion King

Rugrats in Paris

Jurassic Park

T2

1. Spiderman Trilogy

I'm not that old. I turned 30 later last year. After looking at the above list, I now realize that my childhood kind of sucked and it's probably why I'm still reading comics.
