I always watch movies with my youth with a tad of trepidation. All too often I am disappointed by them and would much rather have been left with my nostalgic memories.

A few that have stood the test of time.

Pee Wee's Big Adventure - This was always in the free kids rental section at our local store and eventually they told me I couldn't rent it anymore :)

Star Wars - Of course I mean the original trilogy... Those Ewoks and epic battles between good and bad were as fantastic then as they are now.

James Bond - The old films are very disappointing to a jaded moviegoer such as myself, but the sense of cool exuded to a 12 year old by Sean Connery will never be equaled.

Spaceballs - One of Brooks' best films, especially to a prepubescent boy.

The Princess Bride - I'm not ashamed to admit this has been one of my favorite movies for as long as I can remember.

Cloak and Dagger - I loved this Dabney Coleman flick as a kid!

Gleaming the Cube - An 80's Christian Slater and skateboarding, what more could a kid ask for?

Goonies - One of the movies I am most looking forward to watching with my son.

The Great Escape - The movie that introduced me to Steve McQueen... Fond memories of watching this with my father.

Kickboxer - The best JCVD movie... still fun to watch every now and again.

Commando - One of my favorite action movies... Filled with one-liners!

Weird Science - An older neighbor let us watch this... Dreams of Ms. Lebrock ran rampant through my horny little mind for quite some time.

Terminator - Another film shown to me by an older neighbor... Arnie repairing his eye scared the crap out of me!

That's all for now... More to come later if I can think of any.

My Favorites are....
Back To The Future
The Cutting Edge
E.T.
The Princess Bride
Karate Kid
and definitely PeeWee Herman's Big Adventure!!

This thread is a wet dream for this new breed of screenwriters who have no original ideas, but instead are remaking (and ruining, for the most part) everything that was good in the 70s and 80s.

I'm sure all of these films will soon be remade... or at least end up on t-shirts available for purchase at Hot Topic.

Oh... and it makes me feel funny inside when I hear people list "Terminator 2 and Jurrasic Park" as movies they grew up with.

I know,:rolleyes: but hey, you asked ;)

A couple that stick out in my mind:

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Jurassic Park
Honey I Shrunk the Kids

Well…I was a kiddie in the 70s, so I saw some great classics first run with my Aunt (the only person to really take me to any movies). The biggies were Star Wars, Jaws, Logan’s Run, etc. My first rated R film was Conan: The Barbarian. my best friend and I went to that and all we could talk about after were the boobies. Hey…we were in the peak of puberty. But the films that I really ‘grew up’ with were the ones on TV during the weekends. I grew up watching Lewis and Martin, Abbot and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, The Marx Brothers. The movies I saw often and loved were Journey to the Center of the Earth, Ben-Hur, The Wizard of Oz, The Ten Commandments, The Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape, Hatari, and many more. It certainly could have been worse.

Beauty and the Beast for the epic win! I was raised on the Disney renaissance movies like this flick, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin. Once I got a little "older" like eight years old, I got into stupid action movies (Beverly Hills Cop, Point Break) and Comedy Central matinee flicks that I can't recollect the names of for the most part. Revenge of the Nerds and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure were the some of the few worth remembering.
