Top 5 Childhood movies

It has been a while since I've read that book, but I did enjoy the stories in it. What I do remember most about it, probably because of my enjoyment of Stand By Me, is that the ending to The Body is not such a "happy" ending as the movie was. It was kind of a "oh wow" moment as I was reading it.
King's heroes are always flawed, and generally struggle with doing the right thing. But there is always a moral center, too, despite all the grimness and ugly things.
I like animated movies.. OK! She's shaming an adult male for liking kids movies!!
Also, if you haven't seen the Lego Movie it's hilarious. It's probably better for me because I worked with a guy who IS Emmet. Profession, attitude, everything.

I always have a hard time selecting lists like this as all good movies have their place and it's hard to narrow out the best.
Here are some I enjoyed as a child and watched repeatedly.
The Emperors New Groove. My grandma gave this to me for my birthday shortly before she passed away so that adds some value to me.
The Sandlot (my parents recorded this off the tv and they had cut out the scene at the fair when they all try chewing tobacco and vomit everywhere. I didnt know that scene existed until I was in college.)
Toy Story
Blank Check (I rewatched this recently and it's really not as good as I remembered it to be) Also, a movie my parents recorded off the tv.
Angel's in the Outfield
I recall really liking the Land Before Time movies when I was little, but dont remember anything about them as an adult other than they were about kid dinosaurs.

Every version of Lady Chaterlee's Lover on skinamax squinting through the pixelated stream as my hormones threw me for a whirl.
