Ski patrol, I saw it so so so so many times when I was a kid. Love skiing. It's pretty bad.

BTTF2
Currently my favorite movie is BTTF.
-
The Gate
[youtube=425,350]5j5CjS4V_FQ[/youtube]
Scared the SHIT out of me as a kid. This is perhaps where my fear of small monsters began
The Bad Seed
[youtube=425,350]C98JgQz9vr4[/youtube]
My mom introduced me to many older films when I was younger, and of course the scary/suspenseful stuff made the bigger impact on me. Very good movie, and the cat/mouse interaction between Leroy and the little girl is still amazing
The Labyrinth
[youtube=425,350]WT_xpFZe20A[/youtube]
Still a favorite of mine omg. Gotta watch it a couple times a year
Jurassic Park
[youtube=425,350]Ig3PLC-Qqww[/youtube]
I still remember the very first time I saw this.
Beauty and the Beast
[youtube=425,350]2IZaBeWgFqo[/youtube]
I loved so much Disney stuff as a kid but I remember watching this all the time
Imitation of Life
[youtube=425,350]4F4tuAzv0Gg[/youtube]
I like the original but I love the remake. Still one of my absolute favorite movies of all time. John Gavin :-*
To Kill a Mockingbird
[youtube=425,350]VB0sjVN2Pic[/youtube]
My favorite movie. I still remember the first time I saw it
Jaw
[youtube=425,350]ucMLFO6TsFM[/youtube]
The day after I saw this movie my dad took me to the rec center pool, and even in the shallow end I was fucking scared. I remember eying the high windows over the pool, wondering if I could get away if a shark busted through :lol
The Neverending Story :'(

Artax :'(

seriously, no one mentioned heavyweights?

Wow, you guys have already listed some kick-ass movies that I totally forgot about, in particular Big Trouble in Little China. I'm going to bookmark this thread. A couple of others I can think of:
Princess Bride
Gods Must be Crazy 1 & 2
Flying High 1 & 2
Also a movie called "It's Alive". I don't think it was any good but it was about this killer baby with fangs and shit. I never forgot it.
House
:heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat
-
I forgot about The Gate. That film made me want to have an eye on the palm of my hand when I was a kid. Oh the things I could do with an eye palm hand. I actually rewatched that film fairly recently and even though the first half is pretty drab the 2nd half turns into a pretty fun kid vs. demons flick. The sequel is a god awful mess though. Good thing that was forgotten with time.
-
1) I don't even know how it's called :lol. It was a movie that starred PETER WELLER from Robocop as a guy whose house is infested with a huge rat. He fights with this rat using everything he has, he destroys much of the house in the process but comes victorious in the end. Great action, very tense. I loved it. I have seen it 3 times as a kid on a channel called FILMNET. I have never seen or heard about it later.
Are you sure it's a rat and not a dog?
Also a movie called "It's Alive". I don't think it was any good but it was about this killer baby with fangs and shit. I never forgot it.
That and it's 2 sequels are motherfuckin' bona fide awesome ass cult classics. Larry Cohen, duder!
-
House
:heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat
House was a damn fun horror flick and is still watchable today. The scene where the blond neighbor bends down to pick up a shotgun shell and comes back up as a mutant Rosanne Barr freaked the living hell out of me as a kid.

I remember almost nothing about House (it must be 15-20 years since I saw it), but I remember being absolutely riveted. I remember I was disappointed in House 2, but I did have a totally kick-ass House 2 T-shirt with a zombie hand holding up two fingers in a peace sign on the back.
I have to try and find that shirt and I really need to find House on DVD. Thanks for the reminder about it.

Wow, I had no idea they were Larry Cohen films. A friend and I rented It's Alive when I was maybe 10 and my friend had nightmares for weeks. Guess they were great films after all, I'll have to track them down. Thanks!

Speaking of movies you loved as a kid, I loved House 2. I thought it was the most hilarious, amazing movie I'd ever seen when I was 10. I bought the House/House II double feature on DVD a few years ago, and it was laughable how bad House II was. Some parts were still pretty good, like the Electrician/Adventure that they hired to work on the house, but mostly it was just bad. On the other hand, House itself was actually a really great movie.
Another movie that I though was awesome when I was a kid: The 'burbs. But that one doesn't count because I still love that movie. :bow
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/07/Burbsposter.jpg)
Best Tom Hanks movie ever.

the burbs was awesome
:bow the burbs :bow2

Absolutely wore out a VHS copy of Ghostbusters as a kid. I remember when I was very young it was hard for me to tell them apart outside of Winston. All white people look alike, I guess.
Loved some of the pre-Katzenberg Disney stuff: Robin Hood, Great Mouse Detective, The Jungle Book, and Sword In The Stone.
The live action stuff I got into was mostly comedies. Young Frankenstein, Bananas, A Night At The Opera, Trading Places and, uh, Surf Ninjas.
-
all ethnicities look alike. I can't tell any asians or black people apart. :(
-
I wish I could quote the exact line from memory, but it was something like:
"Two counts of criminal trespassing, one count of breaking and entering, three counts of destruction of private property, two counts of destruction of public property, and this old man claims that you have a ransom note that says you kidnapped his dog!"
That line gets me every time. :lol

I read that as you can't tell Asians apart from blacks, which would be even better.
-
I was just reminded of another movie that I used to watch in my youth. One that is far worse in quality than Revenge of the Ninja:

I bet we can find someone like that in rural America

The end with Basil and Ratigan inside of Big Ben was :omg

Many of the ones mentioned, especially Enl's list, but I must add Explorers.

YES, THIS.
I actually have it on DVD now, and the fact that it's like the same narrator throughout and the way he talks kind of bothers me.
And like CG posted, Home Alone and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

I'm assuming by "childhood" we mean earlier than 12 years old?
I was five when I first saw The Omen.
I was four when I saw The Exorcist.
I was eight when I saw Alien. They were showing Rosemary's Baby right before that, so I caught both movies.
The Revenge of the Pink Panther and The Pink Panther Strikes Again were also some childhood favorites. I saw these around ages 4-6.
There's got to be more, but yeah, these are among the most memorable.
