Your favorite movie from childhood?

Fatal Attraction.

OP, I see what you are doing......🤣

Auntie Mame

Yea I know I'm fucked up.

It was a great movie, R2!

On a related note, one of my favorite childhood songs...

My favorite childhood song.

I loved this song.

I absolutely adore Mary Poppins. I can watch it repeatedly.

I was trying to decide between Chitty Chitty Gang Bang and The Postman Always Rings Twice.

Benji

I would have killed to have a timeshare on Cherry Tree Lane.

Better Off Dead, and I plan to show it to my high school students later this month.

Swiss Family Robinson or Salo.

R13, that's a funny movie. I forgot about it.

The kids are excited because they know who Dan Schneider is from Nickelodeon.

Fritz the Cat.

Another vote for "Mary Poppins". It was the first movie I ever saw in a theater, the cavernous Capitol Theater in downtown Flint, Michigan (I know, but in those days Flint was booming and prosperous). The theater was so packed that I had to sit with my dad, while my sister sat with Mom in a different spot because there were no spans of four continuous seats remaining. This was a Sunday matinee and the men were in suits (including Dad) and the ladies wore nice outfits, including hats, gloves, and, no doubt, girdles underneath. I was so entranced with the movie that I wanted it to go on forever. In fact, I dreaded its end from its very beginning. I recall Dad explaining a few things to me about Edwardian England, as well, which, as a first-grader, I didn't really focus upon. Anyway, it was a really stand-out magical experience in my childhood and it ignited a life-long love of movies in me. Oh yes, afterwards, we bought the "Mary Poppins" soundtrack album and some "Mary Poppins" paint-by-numbers sets and proceeded to ruin Mom's white Saarinen kitchen chairs with blobs of oil paint-- something she felt was less than "supercalifragilisticexpealidocious".

The Gnome Mobile

I prefer this version of Mary Poppins

Straight boys don’t watch Mary Poppins lol

Who here is straight R21?

Mary Poppins, the Trouble with Angels, any Disney movie with the young Kurt Russell

I hated children's films as a child. I thought they were creepy.

It was a lot harder to have a favorite film before home video because you could only see a film when a theater, local film society or TV station decided to show it.

New Wave Hookers.

The Wizard of Oz

This one, of course. It inspired mw ro be a cosrume designer.

*Inspired me to be a costume designer. I sew, and sculpt better than I type!

And a raging drunk.

Bride of Chucky

The Sound of Music, I think I’ve seen it at least 15 times. It even makes me cry as an adult, near the end of the movie.

Singing in the rain

101 Dalmatians and Hocus Pocus

Agree on "Mary Poppins", OP.

Lots of Mary Poppins fans here. Awesome.

bedknobs and broomsticks > Mary Poppins, any time, any day

Home Alone

Hairspray - I knew I was gay when Zac Efron came all over the screen.

Deliverance.

The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao

Trivia, which Mary Poppins actor had won an Oscar ?

I used to love "Paw - Boy of Two Worlds" (1959) which showed on TV all the time in the early 70's. It was dubbed into English. Great movie, if you can find it!

"Where The Boys Are".

Matilda. As a young gayling, I could identify with feeling like I didn't belong to the normal, hetero world or not being intimidated by authority figures who thought they could tell me what to do simply because they were bigger and older. I've always wanted people to earn my respect as I hope I earn respect from others.

Man of Steel. It was my first introduction to Superman and the world of Zack Synder.

Aside from Mary Poppins, I also liked the Sound of Music. Julie Andrews was fantastic.

Wizard of Oz-MadTV

Jaws, Summer Rental, Ghostbusters, Blazing Saddles, Neverending Story, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Karate Kid, Silver Bullet and Heaven Help Us were rented so much I should've bought them even at their ridiculous prices

Movies;

Mary Poppins, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and The Reivers.

honorable mention: Butch Cassidy which holds the record for the most times I sat through a movie at one time in a theater. Sat through Funny Girl twice.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks!

The Parent Trap. I got my parents and grandmother to take me to see it four times. I'm talking Hayley Mills, not that South Shore Whore.

Death becomes her

As a really little kid, THE ARISTOCATS, hands down! (which I'm sure has been cancelled because of Shun Gon the Siamese Cat) . Later childhood, BAD NEWS BEARS.

Blade

The Lizzie McGuire movie

Dawson's 50

I was adopted by an American couple as a young child in the late '80s. Prior to that, I hadn't had much access, if any, to a television. I didn't even go to the movies until I was adopted. In fact, a month after I came to the US, my adoptive parents took me to see the reissue of BAMBI. I remember finding it boring and didn't come to appreciate it, especially the wondrous animation, until I was grown.

Anyway, I was first introduced to the VCR that summer of '88 and quickly became obsessed. Some of my favorites that I watched repeatedly as a child include: MARY POPPINS, THE WIZARD OF OZ, THE LITTLE MERMAID,, HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS, CHEETAH, HOOK, FERNGULLY, BATMAN RETURNS, LADYBUGS, A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, HOCUS POCUS. In particular, OZ holds a special place in my heart because I discovered it in 1989 when the 50th anniversary was being commemorated. I recall it being a huge deal! Posters/ads everywhere, action figures, dolls, costumes, board games, even Dixie cups. You'd think a new blockbuster was being released. Of course, I wanted them all after I became obsessed with the movie, which a family friend had given to us as a gift.

MARY POPPINS is also special to me because it was the first movie I watched on video and the first one I became obsessed with.

I used to love watching Oz as a kid, but the prison rape scenes got to be a bit much.
