To ask you your favourite films from your childhood?

[dietcokeandgalaxyplease]

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?

ET, back to the future

Oh my god yes Curly Sue! Can't understand why you can't get hold of it! I would so get it

Oooh yes the Megan Fallows AOGG - it was utterly wonderful (the bit where Matthew dies in the field is sooooo sad). Plus until this day I want to visit PEI. DD loves it too, it’s our go to DVD/box set for poorly on the sofa days.

Into The West about the irish boys and a magical horse is in the top ten of my favourite films ever!
Chitty, Chitty, Bang Bang
Willow
The Princess Bride
The Amazing Mr Blunden with Diana Dors playing against type is a lovely film.
The Railway Children

Ooh great thread! Agree with all the others, especially My Girl, Now and Then, Labyrinth, Free Willy, etc. Don’t think think these have been mentioned:

American Tail
All dogs go to heaven
Time bandits
Bill and ted (we liked bogus journey best!)
Jurassic park
Richie rich
Monkey trouble
Once upon a forest
The rescuers + down under
The page master
The last unicorn

Feeling all nostalgic now and wanting DD to grow up faster so we can pack in bloody Little Baby Bum watch these.

The headless horseman
Babe
Sound of music
Matilda
Madeline

Little shop of horrors was a real favourite of mine.

The Goonies, the Indiana Jones films (original 3), original Star Wars trilogy, ET, Batteries not Included, Escape to Witch Mountain, Dark Crystal, Legend, Willow, the Care Bear Movie, the My Little Pony Movie...

Labyrinth

And yes to Dot and the Kangaroo, I loved it when I was little.

My Neighbor Totoro

Another vote for Mr Blunden and also The Wrong Box. Great casts

Whistle down the wind

So many great suggestions here and I loved The amazing mr blunden

I’ll addd
-the worst witch (with Tim curry)

• Howard the duck (maybe not for very young kids).
• who’s that girl

Beetlejuice
DIRTY DANCING 💃

Girls just wanna have fun (loved SJP in it), adventures in babysitting, don't tell mum the babysitters dead, drop dead Fred, the last unicorn, princess bride.

Top choices for me would be Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (first film I ever saw at the cinema when it was quite recent and I thought it was all so wonderful that when it was time to go I threw the biggest tantrum I ever threw as a child) and The Railway Children - one of the few films that make me cry - "Daddy, my Daddy!"
