Which films did you love as a child?

[wanderings]

Especially if you wanted to watch them again and again?

Some of mine were:
Mary Poppins: I watched it recently, still as wonderful and whimsical as ever. I saw it so many times as a child.
Wizard of Oz.
Home Alone.
Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory (Gene Wilder).
Clue - I loved its wit, despite its murderous nature!

Annie
Stand by me
Lost boys
Grease

Life of Brian
Breakfast Club
Blues Brothers
Grease

Didn't have VCRs when I was small, so not so easy to watch again & again!

My early faves were Blazing Saddles & Star Wars.
DC bored at Mary Poppins, Wiz of Oz, most classics from < 1970.

Seven brides for seven brothers
Bedknobs and broomsticks
The sound of music
The love bug
Herbie rides again
Blackbeard's ghost
Pete's dragon
My fair lady

Slipper and the Rose.

Classic Cinderella, with Richard Chamberlain as the Prince and a host of classic actors. In musical singing and dancing form.

Love it.

Grease
Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2
Dirty Dancing
The Wizard of Oz
Honey I Shrunk the Kids
Home Alone and Home Alone 2
The Goonies
Lady and The Tramp
The Little Mermaid

We used to be allowed to choose a video alternating months to rent. I rented Annie, my sister rented The Neverending story.

Once we had films taped from the TV we watched Mary Poppins a lot.

I watched all the musicals with my Aunt on a Sunday afternoon; Calamity Jame, The King and I, Sound of Music, 7 brides for 7 brothers etc.

I also loved Clockwise that the OP mentioned.

My little pony film

Lion King

Singin’ In The Rain.
Easter Parade.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
On Moonlight Bay.
On The Town.

I was brought up on old Hollywood musicals.

I also loved

The Wizard of Oz
Mary Poppins
My Fair Lady
ET
Rocky (still my favourite film of all time)

Blues Brothers
Terminator 2
The Witches
The Addams Family (the one with Angelica Huston)
Edward Scissorhands

The Last Unicorn
Legend (with Tom Cruise)
Labyrinth
Bugsy Malone
The Princess Bride
Into The West
The Land Before Time

Someone else here brought up in the dark Ages. No video and very little TV (actually not that bad really). I was simultaneously scared by and loved The Singing ringing Tree. I loved Camelot and a film about Jack Shepherd, starring Tommy Steele. And a film about Oliver Cromwell starring Richard Harris. But we consumed films differently then -watching them once and that was it.
When we had young children we used to watch Blazing Saddles, the 5th Element, The Sword in the Stone and The Swiss Family Robinson a lot.
They loved Drop Dead Fred which I thought was vile.
