[ReefSmoker]

The Dark Crystal
Labyrinth
ET
Never Ending Story

Could go on but those are the ones that immediately come to mind - had to check the name of the first one with my girlfriend because I could remember the story in great detail but not the title !

Take care,

ReefSmoker

Take care,

ReefSmoker Holy crap forgot those two. Yah I LOVED those as a kid. Dark Crystal scared the hell out of me. I haven't seen Labyrinth in years though.

[StrongSad]

I think Total Recall (OWNS!!) and Never Ending Story (:wtf: ) are winning!

[superfresh]

This is a ridiculous thread. Not one person has mentioned Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

[ElfinLord]

Disney's Mary Poppins (the best live action Disney film ever made, IMO)
Disney's The Black Hole (great flik)
Anything Disney (I'm a Disney geek! :D)

Anyway, non-Disney:

NeverEnding Story
Alien
ET
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Color of Money
The Exorcist
Labyrinth
Dark Crystal
Weird Science (OMG Kelly LeBrock was hot!)
The Breakfast Club

There are others, but this is all I can think of right now.

I don't know if they all fit in the age range given, but I remember them from growing up. :)

[superfresh]

The Black Hole was solid.

The Breakfast Club and yet no Sixteen Candles?

[Comie]

Enemy mine
Moonwalker

Princess Bride was a great movie. One of the only movies where Cary Elwes, he played Wesley for those not in-the-know, doesn't play a complete dickhead.
Enemy Mine was also one hell of a movie.

I just thought of two more:

Hiding Out (I think that's what it was called. It starred Jon Cryer. Whatever happened to him anyway?)
The Last Starfighter

[Kasumi]

Wow childhood? That was along time ago. I read manga and books a lot more than I actually watched movies. Lets see movies I watched and liked were uh..

Toward the Terra
Adieu Galaxy Express 999
Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa
Arcadia of My Youth
Goshogun Time Etranger

^.^

[evs]

forgot "flight of the navigator"

[GT_Rince]

Hmm - weren't many movies around when I was young. Of course there were the Disney cartoons. Hell, When I was 7-9, there were no such things as videos (<--- feels old now) or if there was, no-one had one :D State of the art at that time was those orange Binatone Pong games :D

1st Film I remember seeing was Star Wars
The Black Hole
War Games
Never Ending Story

Non-Films... (in nostalgia mode now...)
Tiswas
Rent-a-Ghost
Metal Mickey
Swap Shop
The A Team

I'm sure more will come to me :)

[Dardalion]

The only one I can remeber seeing between the age of 4 and 10 was the original Star Wars - my Dad took me to see it at Leicester Square on a preview ticket when I was 7

[GT_Rince]

The 1st 'film' I went to see at the piccies, was Bambi - lol

I did go to see E.T though :)

[Elric]

h,mmmm


Loads of quality movies here.

mine from around that time:

Tron
Star Wars
Labyrinth (just bought it on DVD, it still rocks)
Goonies
Its A Wonderfull Life (Had it on Video, I know its too old for me to have actually seen when it came out, first seen it when i was 6 though)
Flight Of Dragons
Dark Crystal
Wargames
Enemy Mine
The Last Starfighter (was on TV a couple of months back, sat and watched it again, It still rocks too)
The Abyss

er...

Theres loads more, but i think thats enough for now...

ET sucks Donkeys, load of contrived crap. Always hated it even as a kid.

Urotsukidoji is definately not something for someone under 18 :p

[ReefSmoker]

I forgot 'Watership Down' - that movie, and the book had a profound influence on me when I was a bairn. I think it's the reason I've never been able to eat rabbit meat and enjoy keeping them as pets (my girlfriend and I have 5 rabbits in all, as well as 7 chinchillas... oh and 2 cats who are scared of rabbits and chinchillas lol).

If 'Watership Down' has already been mentioned then sorry for bringing it up again, it just popped into my head while I was reading the replies since I posted :)

Take care,

Reefie

[Q`alooaith]

I don't rember anything prior to my 11th, so kinda make's this a toughy...


Though I do rember I saw alien's when I was younger, though I couldn't say when...

[Strych9]

I LOVED Watership Down. Good call Reef.

Also need to add (speaking of animated animals)

The Secret of NIHM

[Sanch0s]

Yeah it was land before time lol that was good too.
One thing i used to miss was the WWF wrestiling on channel 4 on sundays like 2ish i used to love watching that.
Oh my other film was Backdraft (im not addicted to kurt russel or anything...)

[=Chojin=]

Ch0

[ReefSmoker]

Lol yeah, Flight of the Navigator was a really good film :) All graphics done on an Amiga btw !

Indiana Jones: The temple of Doom
Terminator
Robocop (i know, but i was younger then...)
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory :lol:

and uhhhhhhm,

Not films but i watched Button Moon & The A Team more than anything, EVER

[Jest]

Holy crap totally forgot about Flight of the Navigator. Used to watch that movie all the time. And Watership Down was cool too. I think that was the first novel I ever read. (Thats awesome you have Chinchillas btw, thats the pet type I want too).

I just remembered another one though. Harry and the Hendersons. haha. Did anyone else like that one?

I'd left my parents and was making my own way in the world when that came out, but it was certainly a good laugh :lol:
