Your favourite movies when you were kids?

So what age span are we talking here. How old of a kid? Or young.

My original intention was 11-18. Let's say, from secondary school to the end of high school.

Remember, you are only young one but you can stay immature indefinitely . . . [:D]

Appears there are different categories.

By Age
By Theater, at Home, on TV, by VCR, by CD Blockbuster.

Mine are a combination of all the above, from age 6 to 22. Who cares what age, I'm the same dude. Had to sneak on parents HBO to watch "10", 3-seconds of Bo Derek's cans were big deal in that era.

Blue Velvet, that movie was unique --- "Heineken, FTS, Pabst Blue Ribbon!"

For some reason I was never able to wrap my head around Blue Velvet - and I love Mulholland Drive, Lost Highways and Eraserhead. For some reason, every time I try to watch BV I zone out and then stop after 20 mins.

My favorite Lynch movie is Lost Highway, but I didn't see that as a kid, and Blue Velvet did.

For sure, Blue Velvet is a freak show. It's too much, for this Legend. I'm not the smartest guy, so movies like BV & Momento, I need others to watch with me, in order to explain.

Tonight's early C19 feature, is Viva Las Vegas! Always Elvis in the background, when I start my cooking.

Gregory Peck is one of my favorite true actors, lets not forget watching this oldie as a kid and still watch today.

Didn't really see that many movies as a young kid. Most action movies had a 15 year barrier that was tough to pass back then. Was able to see Star Wars when it came since it got a 11 year rating. But then I missed out on the Empire Strikes Back (due to 15 age limit) when it was released so I couldn't watch it until later on.

Here is a list of films that were a favourite during the period in which I watched it. Listed, more or less, in the order that I watched them.

Ivanhoe (Both the 1952, and 1982 versions)
Star Wars
Captain Blood (Errol Flynn version)
The Sea Hawk
The Three Musketeers, and The Four Musketeers - Raquel Welch probably had something to do with this listing
Diamonds are Forever
The Spy Who Loved Me
Raiders of the Lost Ark
First Blood
Return of the Jedi
The Temple of Doom
Ladyhawke
The Last Dragon
Flesh + Blood
Aliens

Groundhog Day. I am still in love of Andie MacDowell but she'll never know.
