Anything with boobs. I was naughty in my youth.

TMNT

Love it that my 7 year old son wants to watch it every week too.

I have perfected the introduction of old movies I enjoy to my 4 year old...if it's going to be on over and over, I'd rather it be movies I can stomach.

The Jungle Book by far. I wanted to be Mowgli when I grew up and go live in the middle of the jungle.

Top Secret!

Not really a kids' movie, but it was super goofy and my dad had a copy of it so it got watched a lot. Val Kilmer's greatest movie.

What movie(s) did you love best as a child? Was it animated like a Disney film, or was it something sort of live-action like Willow or Labyrinth, maybe the Princess Bride or The Never-Ending Story?

You have just named 4 of my favorites

You had a very sophisticated palette for cinema as a child. I didn't get into Kurosawa until I was about 12.

I was a Marine Corps brat with 2 much older brothers. Lots of late nights watching war and samurai movies. I didn't necessarily catch everything in Seven Samurai when I was 6 or 7, and I definitely had little appreciation for the cinematography.

Once watched Seven Samurai 3 times in one day, back to back to back. First with Subtitles on, then with a critics commentary, then with subtitles off. By the third viewing I was almost understanding the Japanese dialog.

 

[ianoconnor]

The Land Before Time. Didn't help I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid.

Littlefoot saying goodbye to his mom is probably the saddest part of any kids movie.

A lot of good ones mentioned already. How about The Secret of NIHM? A few scary scenes and some bloodshed, but all in all it's pretty cool.

"Well, that's going to bring Rocket's earned run average to about, uh, three hundred or so. Which equals the attendance here today. What a team."
