Apologies for it not being an AIBU really!
Was flicking through Netflix tonight with my 10yr old and was trying to think of films I loved as a child. I'm an 80's kid (born 82) so already showed her Annie, Goonies, Adventures in Babysitting, Gremlins, Home Alone etc... anything else?

I don't remember watching that many films when I was a kid :( I missed out on all the great 80s classics such as the Goonies or Ghostbusters, but did watch them when I was older! I do remember going to the pictures to see ET and I absolutely loved that, but other than that I only remember watching films on TV.

Some that stick in my mind are Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Mary Poppins, Pollyanna, the Parent Trap, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

I loved The Amazing Mr. Blunden, too. The book was even better (aka The Ghosts).
Also loved Oliver! and The Secret of NIMH.
