What are some movies you watched religiously as a kid?

[Beev]

I fondly remember watching The Land Before Time almost every day for years, along with An American Tale (the part with the giant robot rat thing creeped me the fuck out). I also loved the Jetson's movie (eep opp ork ah ah!). Obviously Disney movies as well, but those are kind of a given.

To be a kid again...

 

[Anubis]

Star wars
Animated hobbit and LOTR

There were no VCRs or DVD players when I was a kid.

 

[FelixDeCat]

I was never pyschotic enough to watch a movie more than once every few years.

I used to love the Disney movies of course. It was kind of nice to grow up in their renaissance era. I loved Lion King and Aladdin. The Rescuers Down Under was also one of my faves. Compared to the first one, it was just on an epic scale. Really under-appreciated.

Terminator 2
Independence Day

Watched each one at least 30-40 times :awe:

Same here, but the original Willy Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) was then and still is a favorite.

Did you ever go to the theater 10 times for a favorite movie?

Top Gun, my brothers and I saw it so many times we had the lines memorized. Surprised we didn't burn out the VHS player

Did the tape finally break during the volleyball scene?

[Pantlegz]

Commando
Predator
Terminator 2
Batman (the 1989 movie)
Jurassic park (when I was a little older)

Those are the three that really stick out in my mind. I was a huge Arnold fan at like 5.

 

[Beev]

Oh snap, I forgot about Neverending Story. I also loved Flight of the Navigator.

 

[meltdown75]

Oh those too! I also watched monster vision and Friday Fright Night! Crap, what was that one vampire/monster movie they used to play all the time besides Once Bitten and Lost Boys? It had a bunch of teen kids in it and it about some dimensional monster portal letting in all these monsters into our world?
