Childhood Movies To See Again?

[Ajust]

Which childhood movies (if any) would you like to watch again (or re-experience as if new?)

As stupid as it may sound to some, I've just been thinking how I'd like to see Disney's "Aladdin" again.

Among others....

[James Donaldson]

Everyone mentions Nausjica of the Wind, did it show locally at some point? Secret of Nimth was scary for me as a kid, just like Watership Down freaked me out.

I watched Aladin so many times it's not even funny anymore (funny enough I just started Agrabar in Kingdom Hearts), I'd love to see that as if new.

A movie I saw once as a kid I want to see again is the Bravestar movie/finale.

I like your playlist Kharrak :)

[TiNRiB]

Was watching 3 Ninja Kids on E-TV just now. Ja its rubbish, but i was a kick ass ninja in my day ;)

[P_ablo]

Personally I'd be a bit wary of re-watching childhood films, in case they don't live up to your memories.

But on the flipside nostalgia can be great, and you may notice stuff you didn't before.

Or understand the plot.....I remember not really 'getting' half the stuff I watched

[Ajust]

I watched Aladin so many times it's not even funny anymore (funny enough I just started Agrabar in Kingdom Hearts), I'd love to see that as if new.

The scene where the Genie appears is still firmly rooted in my memory. Robbin Williams did an awesome job.

Me having two older brothers made that movie all the better.

I always had to be Tum Tum... But Colt was the sheezy? What ever happend to their careers?

[Ajust]

Yeah Tum Tum. It always sucked to see the original actors replaced.

[Cyberninja]

I've got both the Transformer and Bravestarr movies. :P They're both still fun to watch. I'd like to watch this again:

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/3299/80123073.jpg (http://img516.imageshack.us/my.php?image=80123073.jpg)

Watched this film ages ago. Not sure if it's any good now. I enjoyed it back then.

[Wesley]

I've got the Secret of Nimh on videotape, going to try convert it to dvd with my dad's recording system. Absolutely awesome movie.

High on my list of movies to watch is Bravestar, Aladdin (got that), the Land Before Time (lost it, sadly), and I'd like to re-watch the entire Digimon and Dragonball series again.

[Liszt]

My movies would be... FREE WILLY! And The Best of Victor Borge would also be great!

"YOUR MUM'S A LIZZARD!"

Favourite part is when they stab the massive dragon with a tiny dagger and you see the end of the blade fly out the back of the dragons head XD

[Cleric]

I actually bought Willow last year for R50 from Look and Listen. Have watched it 3 times since then. One of my all-time favourites.

[Die Jason]

Saw it at Look and Listen last year for about R230 :( Bought mine secondhand in good condition for R120.

Haven't watched it yet because it's something I would like to invite a few people over and watch together, great getting a group together and watch old movies we used to enjoy when we were a bit younger. Watched Alien, Aliens, Top Secret and Darkman a while ago with some friends.

[HolyMackerel]

Never ending story and BACK TO THE FUTURE!!!

[Cyberninja]

I've never heard of it! I WANT to see that!

You can watch the film on YouTube, James. It's split into 9 parts. Just do a search for Robotech: The Movie.

[kolle_hond]

I so want to see this again
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r195/kolle_hond/51XQZCH7KGL__SS500_.jpg

[James Donaldson]

^ Why? It's the most traumatic kids movie ever! :D (Yeah, I want to see it now too)

[kolle_hond]

^I was just so facinated by it when I was young, It dealt with war and survival and I don't know about you but I liked violence when I was a kid. Strangely enough I can't really remember ever being traumatised by it, and the music used in it was brilliant for the time.

[CrashHelmut]

Now that I come to think of it, I saw Nausicaa only once as a young chap. It was called Warriors of the Wind then and I watched it on Betamax (remember those?).

Other films I've seen as a youngster that I wouldn't mind watching again: The Princess Bride. Also The Survivors, which was a Robin Williams movie in the 80s featuring heavy satire (you know, when Williams was still funny).

Another film I'd like to revisit is Repo Man. A weird and crazy movie that made little sense to me at the time and was most probably not meant for children. I loved it! (It had an awesome mostly-punk soundtrack.)

[James Donaldson]

Anastasia comes to mind.

[Sandstorm]

Definately the Secret of Nyhm, even though it scared me as a kid.
Also want to see Bravestar, Aladdin and the Land before Time (that movie was awesome to the four year old me).

[Serminigo]

The movie It's a Wonderful Life comes to my mind.

[Bonezmann]

Saw 3 ninjas kick back on E a few days ago. Can't believe I actually liked that pile of crap.

Also ::Cough:: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie ::Cough::

[Wesley]

Also ::GAG:: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers ::CHOKE:: The Movie ::DIE::

Fixed ;)

[BlackMage]

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?
I loved that movie.
And so did you.

[James Donaldson]

I hated the Power Rangers in general, but everyone loved that show, so I would watch an episode every now and then.

Rita: "Aaargh, my monster is useless! MAKE MY MONSTER GROW!" (This is inprinted on my mind for all enternity) -_-

[Graal]

I hated the Power Rangers in general, but everyone loved that show, so I would watch an episode every now and then.


I always found it hilarious that something would shoot them and they'd all fall down spinning. Every. Single.Time.The.Exact.Same.Way.

Then they'd beat the monster, something would throw it with some device and it would grow enormous. Then they would summon their cars/steeds/or whatever happened to be their rides to fight it again.

Yea, it really was priceless.

[Sir-Ominous]

Definately Small Soldiers and the Goonies

[Ravurn]

James and the Giant peach, really stuck with me through the years, loved that movie to bits, i should actually get around to reading the book, back then i was only around 6 years old, so yeah reading wasn't high on my agenda :P

still would love to watch that movie again...makes me sad that i haven't watched it recently xD

[Mr_krinkle]

I so want to see this again
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r195/kolle_hond/51XQZCH7KGL__SS500_.jpg

I refuse to ever watch that bloody movie. Again.

[Xperimance]

http://cineclubecovilha.com/image/screen/Spirited-Away-anime-2001.jpg

Spirited Away:
One of my all time favourite movies back when I was small, even still today I love watching that movie. It just comes to show how truly wonderful anime can be.

[Toxxyc]

These aren't movies, but I'd REALLY like to see both afrikaans series again, called "Moemin" and the friggin original afrikaans "Pinnochio". I watched an episode of that afrikaans Pinnochio the other day again (it showed on some wierd channel on DVTS or whatever it's called) and it was completely EPIC! It was much more emotional that I remembered from all those years back, I used to watch an episode everyday at my grandparents house (my grandfather had a really good TV/VHS combo). Loved it.

But also, Moemin... "Ken julle dalk die Moe-vallei? Weet julle dalk wie daar sal bly? 'n Vriend soos min en 'n held daarby, dit is Moemin! Liewe lawwe Moemin!" OMW still remember it!

EDIT: Ooh, ooh, just thought of this:

Emperor's New Groove
Lion King (holy crap I'm now craving the original Lion King! I'm renting it THIS AFTERNOON!!!)

[Fredder]

some stuff I saw as a kid:

Batteries not Included
Conan the Barbarian
Disney's Robin Hood (old original animated one)
The He-Man & She-Ra movie (where He-Man finds out he has a sister, etc)
Iron Eagle & Iron Eagle 2 (Good ol' Chappy . . .)
Willow
Neverending Story

I'll see if I can remmeber some more.

[ZoRPA]

1990 was the year-

[Chippit]

BLAST FROM THE PASS !

right?

The word you're looking for is 'past'. The phrase suddenly makes a lot more sense, doesn't it?

On topic, I've recently found myself with an inexplicable urge to rewatch this:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f6/American_tail_fievel_goes_west.jpg

I wish I knew why.

[nukehead]

I wish I knew why.

It's 'cos of the 'Laaaazy Eye'... or it could be that it was a great story, which is to say I watched it a couple years ago and it has aged fairly well.

As for the my own childhood film I was going to say Kickboxer with good ol' JCVD however I bought it recently... Let's just say it has aged badly and leave it at that. I don't even want to try Total Recall after that experience.

The other side of the coin is that I recently bought Tiny Toons, Freakazoid, Animaniacs and Tale Spin and I am so glad I was a child in the '90s. Them cartoons be good, Cartoon Network can take a hike, Spielberg knew what cartoons were supposed to be about. Another one I am keen to revisit is Pink Panther the original little cartoon shorts... oh and Inspector Gadget.

You know what. I think you're quite right. I really must find this again. It's probably been 18-19 years since I've seen it. It's a miracle I even remembered about it at all.

[Cleric]

Fievel is one of the few examples in animation where the sequel was oh so much better than the first.

And "the laaaaaaaazy eye" sticks with me to this day. Totally gonna try hunt this down now.

I know it's been mentioned, but everyone should rewatch The Neverending Story from time to time. There is a certain melancholy in the film that was completely lost on me as a child. "They used to be good, strong hands" had so much more meaning when I rewatched it recently.
Besides,and who wasn't terrified of:

Just recently bought myself the Secret of Nimn, love this movie. Along with Disney's Robin Hood.
I still find myself whistling the theme song for Robin Hood:)

Well, either a new thread on the same topic would have been created or someone "necro'd" this. It can still be relevant, now. Not everyone was around back then, either. I don't see the problem (http://porady.zdrowo.info.pl/zmarszczki.html). There is a marked difference between replying to a debate from yesteryear than carrying on an old broad - and still relevant - topic, imo.

Apart from the mainstream movies already given, Thomas the Tank Engine and Ivor (the Tank Engine) were also favourites of my childhood. I think I had a fetish for trains when I was younger. >__<

Yeah, I think Kharrak already covered it, but thanks for the re-clarification.

I watched Beethoven recently and it wasn't as appealing as when I watched it as a child. It was still rather entertaining though.

Next on the list is getting hold of the Ghostbusters movies and if I can find it, Homeward Bound.

I named my first puppy golden retriever after Shadow from the movie, and we named our jack russell after the cat coz they had similar colouring :) (unfortunately they're no longer with us, but the movie always reminds me of them).

[Toxxyc]

Holy crap man, The Land Before Time... I get tears in my eyes remembering the epic times I had watching those movies. I LOVED dinosaurs, and those were just the best there was. Everytime we went to the video store, I'd rent the same movies over and over again: The Land Before Time. Man, you just seriously made me nostalgic as crap right now.

Respect, TLBT, respect.

[Flangenimblick]

Dude, that movie made my childhood. I also get a bit teary when I remember it.

Hell, I'm gonna order it right now.

I cannot believe Take2 would have that. They have ALL FOUR, ON DVD.

But in all seriousness, I truly am in complete awe here. This has been added to my cart instantly, with all sequels. I cannot believe, I don't know what, I cannot comprehend, I'm just, wow. WOW.

Once again, Flangenimblick has proven himself awesome over here. Can we give him a medal for this?

[XERXES]

+1 For the land before time, awesome movie. Sharptooth!!!
It was on DSTV in Dec/Jan.

Edit.. Wait, they made sequels???

[nukehead]

Uh, hold back the ordering, it just might disappoint you guys. Keep the memories intact because I unfortunately didn't.

[BladeMaster]

What about The Never Ending Story. Fascinated me as a child.

[Toxxyc]

Uh, hold back the ordering, it just might disappoint you guys. Keep the memories intact because I unfortunately didn't.

I never said I was going to watch it. Ordering, definitely. Watching, I'm not so sure. I might give it to my sister though, she's having a baby in May, and my niece will NOT grow up without Land Before Time.

[BladeMaster]

Yeah, I need to get that movie and watch it some time. I remember that big maltese poodle thingy that spoke and flew and
the family of like golems made out of boulders. Awesome stuff.

Thanks for the link, but I prefer to buy from shops these days. I'm hardly ever at home due to work and my neighbors are dodgy, so deliveries are a problem. I'll check L&L though ;)

Edit: Blademaster, the Maltese's name was Falkore, which was actually a dragon.

http://lovas.info/files/falkor.jpg

...a luck dragon.

I think Musica had Neverending Story 1 & 2 in a bundle, was quite cheap.

I love 'Angry Video Game Nerd'

So when I saw his reviews of the Star Wars movies I had to see it.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25zE6cs2vtw&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFpNlycKrz8&feature=related

This however brings me to quite an important question. (Well as a Star Wars geek at least)
How am I going to introduce my kids, to one of the greatest movie series of all time?

The new (digitally remastered) versions of the movies just don't compare to the originals. And should they watch IV-VI first or start straight from I through to VI?

[onona]

The Neverending Story is my favourite film from my childhood. I have it on DVD and watch it at least once a year, if not more.

[dammit]

Am i the only one who found the experience of watching the neverending story disturbing?

[nukehead]

This movie was legit! Hello Parte-ner...
I am not to sure this qualifies as a child's film though.
I have never actually watched neverending story.

I loved it and found it disturbing at the same time. Those robot things with the sharp metal spikes on their feet, freaked me out.

The boulder golem family and Falkor were pretty cool and cute though.

[Drone]

Ah, but if you look at the topic, it states childhood movies, not children's movies.

On that note, I just thought about this the other day, I'd love to see American Werewolf in London again. "But that's not a children's film!" you say. And you're right. It scared the bejeezus out of me. It was awesome.

[onona]

On this note, you'll actually find that a lot of childrens' films in the 1980s had dark themes in them, something which is sadly missing from childrens' films these days. People have become so overprotective of kids that they no longer feel it's acceptable to have scary stuff in films for them, even though most kids actually do love a scare (within limits, of course). Films in the 80s had a gritty edge that's really missing from films these days - kids' films today are overly saccharine and teach children nothing about real life, instead portraying life as something perfect where you always end up easily getting your own way.

That is very true, it's if people have become to conservative in a way. Look at The Black Cauldron as an example, the villians smoke, when last have you seen that in a childrens movie. Disney/Pixar has taken over, not that they make bad movies. It's just not the same.

[Nferno]

@ Onona, Agreed. Even 101 Dalmatians was about a ****ing crazy old bitch who had an obsession with fur and wanted to kill and skin puppies to wear them as a coat. That's pretty damn demented in my books.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? had quite a bit of drinking, smoking, violence and even a dab of sexuality (even the detective got turned on by Jessica Rabbit). Come to think of it, that's another movie I'd like to watch again.

Fair enough. I guess that's a good argument for the Grimm Brother's stories as well, which I sometimes wonder whether they're just a bit too far on the side of creepy for children.

[nukehead]

Fair enough. I guess that's a good argument for the Grimm Brother's stories as well, which I sometimes wonder whether they're just a bit too far on the side of creepy for children.

Well you have to remember that with the Grimm Brothers that they were from a very prescriptive time and the easiest way to control thought is through fear. The underlying themes within their tales although merely a reflection of the thoughts at the time did way more to encourage those same thoughts in later times.

I always find it so funny when I re-watch a 'classic' from my childhood and notice all these dark undertones; and immediately turning to whoever is next to me and saying, "How could they let children watch this?!". Even though at the time those undertones were not even remotely picked up, well, at least not consciously. I agree with onona that we just don't give enough credit to the naivety and resilience of children both physically and mentally.

[Bonezmann]

I really wan't to see this again, just remember Peter Sellers saying "Birdy num num".

This movie was ****ing legendary, also, all the old Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers in them (He'd turn in his grave if he saw the Steve Martin bull****)

Would love to see the original Lion King again, awesome movie was awesome.

[Yuri]

Anyone remember Flight of the Dragons? This was dark fantasy at its best, I so need to get this again.

[BladeMaster]

Would love to see the original Lion King again, awesome movie was awesome.

Yes. Lion King was (well, for me at least), one of the best movies ever created. It was legendary.

My childhood Van Damme film was Universal soldier, but also kickboxer, back when I thought he was absolutely the most awesome action hero ever.

Also great was blind fury and the Short Circuit movies.

I linked the image straight from some random website, hope it's fine.

Just realized I mostly watched these sort of movies as a kid, there are a few disney and other animated movies that stand out though, such as the Feivel movies, and Swan Princess (which I adored).

But mostly late 80's early 90's sci fi and action was what I seemed to like best.

I so want to see this again

i movie too see again is furn gully , once upon a forest, neverending story

[Flangenimblick]

Hate Watership Down. That scene with the dying rabbits underground, and the Black Rabbit in general freak me the **** out. It's the scariest and most disturbing thing I've ever seen in a film.

[DarthCat]

Hot shots 1 + 2 is cool movies :)

[echo]

Watership Down also had that terribly depressive Bright Eyes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkirtbpz5h4) song. Here is that scene from the movie:

Dammit echo! I had managed to expunge that evil song from my mind! You've just brought back years of childhood trauma! Arg!

Some one must have been burning a weed field or something that will probably explain the smoke and the **** the little bunny is seeing.

Dude, I still love that show. There are a few eps on youtube and elsewhere. Awesome storyline and world overall.

(Not a movie though, was a series. As was Captain Planet. Still, awesome stuff.)

Anyone remember this:

I love this show. The entire series (brazed, I hope you're sitting down) is FINALLY available on DVD. You can find it on take2. As far as movies go, I'd love to watch Spaceballs and Short Circuit, again. I haven't seen them in ages.

Oh well, I tried. Don't laugh guys, but among my favourite childhood series I would have to list: Duck Tales, Dark Wing Duck, Biker Mice From Mars, Tale Spin, Chip n Dale, X-Men and my all time favourite: Gummy Bears. Love that theme song! Oh my god....GUMMY BEARS, JUMPING HERE AND THERE AND EVERYWHERE, JUMPING HIGHER THAN BEYOND COMPARE, WE ARE THE GUMMY BEARS!!! or something like that.

You know that it's suck in your head now right? ;p

Office space was the ****. Forgot about that one. Awesome scene where they beat up the copier all gangster like.

I bought Joe's Apartment and Half-Baked from a second-hand shop last year. Joe's Apartment wasn't nearly as good as I remembered it to be, but Half-Baked is still watchable while fully-baked.

[BladeMaster]

It's a shame. I don't know any of these movies.

[spjt07]

I actually really enjoyed the animated version of Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. Haven't ever seen it again since the mid to late 90's

Will be looking for a copy to buy, wonder if it is on Blu-ray..?

Yeah, I checked it out. No Blu-Ray though. Will still get it on DVD.

I used to watch some pretty ****ed up **** when i was a kid. When i spent the weekend over at my grandparents house, they would take us to the video store to rent almost any movie we wanted. And these are a few i watched.

http://getmovielink.com/images/covers/Critters_download.jpg

http://witneyman.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/puppet-master-ii.jpg
Including the First one ofcourse, the starting scene with the teddybear nightmare :O

Then there was Child's Play ofcourse.
Evil Dead.
Nightmare on Elm street.
Leprechaun

I mainly watched horror movies as a kid :P

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/90/DeepStarSix_Poster-1-.jpg
You HAVE to watch that movie.

The Blob.
Creepshow, the episode that stood out the most for me was called The Crate, where there was a monster locked inside a crate inside a laboratory, which break out and eats everyones face.

Then there was this movie.
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GBlH5JOxCC8/TZllqCnO8YI/AAAAAAAAAvo/ybzrIa2Uvm0/s1600/shakma.jpg

The list goes on and on.

I'll be seeing that afro-headed creature in my nightmares.

Buddy of mine got this recently,watched at his house.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/50/Robocop_film.jpg

Kept wishing Clarence Boddiker (Kurtwood Smith) would call a Murphy a dumbass.But as for pure unadulterated 80's action,its still damn good.

Dont believe i saw Go Bots in previous pages, so putting it up there.



And this next movie isnt in a childhood movie because it came out in 2006 but its well worth the watch if you are into monster movies.

My cousin-and-sister combo decided it was a good idea for me to watch both Blair Witch Project and Blair Witch Project 2 in succession. And the proceeded to pause the movie after each happening and explaining it to me in perfect words so I could understand WTF was going on. Oh yes, and I was 10 years old. I want to watch both again, I think it'll ease my sub-conscience.

[James Donaldson]

Neverending Story I want to see again, I bought American Tail off Take2 but haven't watched it yet and will be getting the entire Prince Valiant series next.

Onona, about dark themes in kids movies, is one of the reasons I think Princess & the Frog is a step back in the right direction for Disney. The Villian has a sort of charm, but his shadow monsters will freak you out, etc. Plus you have a leading lady who always had it tough, yet worked hard even though her close friend seemed to have everything and her other friends kept telling her to relax.

[BladeMaster]

Don't know if it's been mention yet...but what about this?

http://www.coronacomingattractions.com/sites/default/files/news/the_thing_1982_poster.jpg

I'd buy that for a dollar:) But seriously, I listen to the Robocop theme song at least twice a week. Paul Verhoeven should make more movies.

I'm actually a closet RoboCop lover :p

Seriously intriqued me as child and the super robot walker thing in Robocop 3 (think it was RC3) was freaking scary (the one that had some maniacs brain inside it, controlling it).

Musica Mega Store in V&A has Robocop Blu-Ray for R199, see no reason why a person shouldnt be able to find it at Look & Listen and other Musica Mega Stores elsewhere.

Yeah, enjoyed it too. Watched the sequel earlier this year http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1214983/ Is pretty meh, as expected.

Speaking of, i tried to get my hands on a Blu-ray copy of Starship Troopers this past weekend, but musica only had the 3rd one.

Damn, that brought back memories. I remember I watched it one Sunday afternoon when I was going through my horror movie phase but I rather not watch it again, I don't think it aged that well.

[Nferno]

That reminds me! Who didn't ****ing love Tremors (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100814/)?

Remember when you were a kid and you played "the floor is lava". Yeah, there's a whole movie about that.

And it has Kevin Bacon is it, which was awesome. Just try to ignore the sequels.

also I saw a part of this by mistake when I was 3.

Then I got the courage when I was 13 and watched it again and really enjoyed it.
