When I was a kid my mom took me to a Bruce Lee triple-feature-- I think it was Enter the Dragon, Fist of Fury, and The Chinese Connection. Coolest thing I ever saw, at that age.
Movies that you loved as a child...
Some damn good films there, Mystique... And Jumping Jack Flash. 
I guess it depends what you call childhood. From about the ages of 8-12 I probably watched these films more than any others.

Why? Fantastic film. I think it has aged quite well. The art direction is still amazing, the tension well done, and the subtext still relevant.

The best of the best
Lethal Weapon - This is my Wizard of Oz or Star Wars. It brought to attention a film filled with adult themes, unrelenting violence, swearing, explosions of a bigger kind of magnitude, unluckily friendship, frenetic pacing, back stories, things like retirement, humility, humanity, torture, young and old and is there such a thing as “I’m too old for this shit“.
A Christmas Story - My family Christmas Movie that we’d watch every year around of course at Christmas time.
Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the JedI - Odd I know but, Star Wars came out before I was born. Empire came out the year I was Born. I remember Return more vividly especially the ending in which he’s dragging his father to the ship as the death star is blowing up and you know he can’t save him and all Darth Vadar wants to do is look at him with his own eyes. Man that was tough to get threw.
Flight of the Navigator - My Nana and Grandpa had a VCR before my parents they also has Atari and Nintendo before my parents. As you can guees they were pretty popular. I remember going over and watching this with amazment.
Excalibur - I instantly took up drawing Swords and other such knightly things.
Raiders of the Lost Ark and Romancing the Stone - Two great adventure movies. For all types, ages, sizes and shapes.
Ghostbusters - This was a big deal I remember going to a movie store and rent a BETA machine and Ghostbusters to see this. I'm not sure how many people remember BETA but there was such a thing.
The Never Ending Story - If My parents invited friends over they’d throw this on to shut us up.
Back to the Future - every kid has fantasy’s of building a time machine. Why stop at with a tree house next up a delorean.
Batman - still holds the record for going to see this at the theatres multiple times.
Bloodsport - I big part of grade 4 was imitating JCVD.
Quigley Down Under - I want to be able to go back in time and be in the western I had to settle for this and Back to the Future III.
The Great Outdoors - John Candy made a big impression on my childhood.
Short Circuit - I remember crying, rather silly but, I did.
Young Guns - A keep on bothering my Mom to buy me a book about Billy the Kid she eventually did but I only ended up looking at the illustrations.
American Ninja - This had me think I could be a ninja forget Karate Kid ninja’s are cool. I probably watched a ton of other seemingly bad ninja films but this has lasted in my mind.
Johnny Be Good - The Rewards for having an older brother. their has so much T&A. I couldn‘t believe it. This was like watching a porno for a 9 year old. This is what Porky’s would have been to people of that era I guess.
Flashdance and Footloose - I took up dancing out of the blue when ever possible and when ever the opportunity presented itself.
Field of Dreams - I remember the chills that ran through out my body the goose bumps that I got when the voice says "if you build it he will come". A haunting film.
G.I. Joe: The Movie - it’s still the bomb.
Cloak and Dagger - In terms of videogame movies. My brother got Tron and The Last Starfighter while I got Cloak and Dagger and The Wizard.
The Goonies - Kids going out and messing around we all do it.
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure - It made me wanted to know more about history. I think this had a lot to do with me always being able to pass history until about grade 10than it got boring again.
The Breakfast Club - First Swearword I ever heard in a film.
The Running Man - everything about this film was just too cool.
Die Hard - My Mom allowed me to rent this for my Birthday. Oh! I bet she wish she hadn't.

In the advent DVD’s and Director Cut’s such films as Superman II The Richard Donner Cut have vastly improved upon the original film and now would be considered one of my favourites.
Childhood favourites that you loved that are now bad.
Son in Law, Out on a Limb, Stay Tuned, Addams Family Values, Ladybugs, Blame It on the Bellboy, Crush, Honey, I Blew Up the Kid, Encino Man, Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment, F/X, SpaceCamp, American Ninja 2: The Confrontation, Big Shots, Ernest Goes to Camp, Harry and the Hendersons, Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise, Summer School, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Teen Wolf Too, Big Top Pee-wee, Crocodile Dundee II, Short Circuit 2, Young Einstein, The Wizard, Ernest Goes to Jail, Drop Dead Fred, Ernest Scared Stupid, F/X2, If Looks Could Kill
Childhood favourites that I knew I shouldn’t have been watch at that age. So I felt like I was getting away with something, which I was.
In the Line of Fire - Bought tickets to watch a different film and then snuck into see this one instead.
The Fly - I don’t think My Parents thought it was going to be that screwed up. They were probably think more along the lines of Ghostbusters, little did they know.
Full Metal Jacket - This one really made me notice that there are completely different people and places in the world and that they have it a lot worst off then me. Also It was and still is extremely disturbing.
Predator - I snuck over to my next door neighbours house and peaking threw the door and at that very moment of sneakiness one of the characters keeps on repeating “I’m going to have me some fun, I’m going to have me some fun” over and over again until you see the back of his head exploding then another guy gets has hand blow clean off and it keeps on firing, how cool is that. Well, I couldn’t believe my eyes that such things were actually filmed.
RoboCop - All the humor is unnoticed when seeing this threw the eyes of a 8 year old. Distrubing images is what this film brings to my childhood. Fragments of body parts being blow clean off, vulgarity at an all time high.
Colors - I still don’t know how many brother managed to get my parents to rent this for him. All I know is a repeat the rewards. Yo Man Lets Do This…..Colors Colors COLORS I am a Nightmare walking…..you get the point.
Ricochet - My Mom took me to the theatre to see this one, if you can believe it. The themes are quite strong and there’s heaps of violence. I remember thinking that at any moment my Mom might get up and take me out of the theatre.
Lethal Weapon - This is my Wizard of Oz or Star Wars.

The period in which I was a kid was a totally different world from what most of you knew. It was a time of B-movies, Saturday afternoon double-feature Westerns with weekly serials and six cartoons. Saw a lot of Roy Rogers and other RKO cowboys. Roy was everyone's favorite, the truly good guy who always gave the bad guys the first swing or first draw, then proceeded to kick their butts or shoot the guns out of their hands. Rarely killed anyone but always did the right thing. Sounds corny now, but I think a lot of kids from my generation learned more morals from Roy than from our Sunday school teacher. Couple of other favorite cowboy heroes, the Durango Kid who dressed in black with a black bandana covering his face; and Lash LaRue, short and stocky with a New Jersey accent and a bullwhip that he used to pop the bejeebers out of the bad guys.
I also was a fan of Randolph Scott's because he played heros with a past, and always went up against the best bad guys like Lee Marvin.
My dad was a veteran of World War II and my uncle was serving in Korea, so I also liked war stories like The Steel Helmet. I remember one afternoon seeing a news reel where the French army was pulling out of French IndoChina (Vietnam), and I was very confused because the French were our allies in WWII, and therefore by extension one of the good guys who won wars instead of losing them, so why were they getting kicked out of a country by little bitty guys in black pajamas? Didn't understand that at all at the time.
For comedy, my favorites were the Dead End Kids, aka East Side Kids, aka the Bowery Boys. Plus Ma and Pa Kettle--they were always good for a laugh. But the best were Abbott and Costello and Bob Hope.
And like most kids, I liked scarey films. Abbot and Cotello meet Frankenstein (or was it Dracula?) was one of the best because it had Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman and the Invisible Man all in the same film. Gave me nightmares for weeks. So did the original The Wolfman, the role played again and again by Lon Chaney Jr. with a combination of horror and pathos. The best of all were the original The Thing (From Another Planet) and Them!

+ rep to starlite for mentioning First Blood. I should've added that to my list. It's more a 13+ film for me, rather than the 8-12 years old films I posted, but I did first see it when I was 10 or 11 and I got a copy when I was about 13 or 14.

We were pre video generation, so we never could watch our favourite films loads of times over like my kids did with the Muppets Christmas Carol 
so at the cinema we loved Mary Poppins, Herbie, and all the old Disney films which used to get shown in the school holidays - Snow White, Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmations etc. We also loved the old Jason and the Argonauts and the 7th voyage of Sinbad which you got to see on tv now and again.
The best times tho were Saturday morning pictures where you got 2 or 3 cartoons, a serial and a big picture to finish. Some of them were old even then like Old Mother Reilly and all the silent films - Ben Turpin, Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy. Also saw old Tarzans with Johnny Weissmuller and some old series of Superman, and even stuff from way back like The Perils of Pauline.
