Aww My Girl....i remember that.

Wait, was that the one where the boy (or the girl?) gets stung by bees and dies?

Yes, the boy, the main character Vada's best friend, dies from bee stings trying to get a ring back that Vada lost. It's so sad .

Ah yes, that's right

I'm lol'ing that you guys have been talking about My Girl.. I did love that film. I was making beehives last week too lol

I loved Mary Poppins, The Goonies, The Princess Bride, Labyrinth, Big and Beetlejuice when I was growing up.

There was also a film called the Adventures of Milo and Otis, about a little dog and a cat I think? I was quite small when I watched that one, but I remember really liking it? . I also think it might have made me cry?

I don't remember a lot of films that I watched as a kid. I do remember a few that me and my two sisters were obsessed with though.

The Aristocats
Little Rascals
Mary Poppins
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Calamity Jane
Annie

Thumbelina
Lion King
Wizard of Oz
The Prince of Egypt

Those are the ones I can remember.

I love this conversation!

My favorite movies when I was a kid were

Mary Poppins
Labyrinth
The Goonies
Neverending Story
Home Alone
Gremlins
ET
Splash
The Wizard of Oz
Fantasia
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
All Indiana Jones
The Jewel of the Nile
Romancing the Stone

And there's probably more...


For some odd reason I also liked to watch grown-up movies back then and one of my favorites was Carlos Saura's Carmen, based on the famous opera. I saw that movie so many times when I was like 7, 8 years, my cousins started hating it and they mention this till today. LOL

OMG, I forgot about Splash! I was thinking of movies classifief as children's movies mostly, and looking at lists of kid's movies, so I left out a lot that weren't actually classified as children's movies.

The Indiana Jones movies are were definitely three of my favorite movies as a kid. Still love them.

Also:

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Monty Python & the Holy Grail
Sister Act (1 & 2, especially 2)
Bill & Ted's Excellent Journey
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
Ghostbusters (1 & 2)
Young Frankenstein
Spaceballs
Robin Hood: Men In Tights
The Mask
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1 & 2)
The Three Amigos (with Steve Martin)
Troop Beverly Hills
Kindergarten Cop

Aah, yes! The Mask, and the Sister Act movies were some of my favorites as well,

Mrs. Doubtfire
Beethoven 1 & 2.

Loved the Sister Act films too! They were on our obsessions list aswell. The films we used to watch all the time were very musical themed. Lol.

I was watching Beethoven 2 yesterday while I was at the gym. Cute.

I was also obsessed with Steve Martin (Father of the Bride), John Candy (Uncle Buck!) and Bill Murray (Groundhog Day).

Movies I loved as a kid:

Mary Poppins
Wizard of Oz
The Mighty Ducks
Popeye (the musical)
Sister Act
West Side Story
My Girl
Help!
Robin Hood (Disney)
Little Mermaid
Mask
Now and Then
South Pacific

I forgot about Mrs. Doubtfire! Loved that too!

Just saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with dad and my stepmom. It was nice. I think I would have enjoyed the movie better if I hadn't already seen the Swedish version and read the book, but it was still very good. Rooney Mara is great and Daniel Craig is sooo charming. Now that's man...

Sidenote, why people insist on talking during the film in a theater? You are not home!

I think we once talked about dystopias in books. Well when it comes to dystopias in movies I think this one is a must. What a masterpiece.
Gillian showing his genius by mixing the future with bossa:

I watched The Rocker last night with Emma Stone and Rainn Wilson. Was pretty funny but it made Glee look well-paced.

I went and saw the new Underworld movie last night. That's how you do Vampires vs Werewolves. Take note Twilight.

I really want to watch The Mask again. It's been so many years since I've seen it. "Hey Pachuco!" by Royal Crown Revue played on one of my Pandora radio stations earlier, and made me remembered this scene- "Hey Pachuco!"- The Mask

And then I watched this awesome, hilarious scene- "Cuban Pete"- The Mask

And related to that second vid, this is for you Euro peeps that had never heard of I Love Lucy until that convo a few weeks back in the fanfic thread - "Cuban Pete"- I Love Lucy

The Mask is an amazing movie, I think I have seen it a billion times. So funny.

Anyone seen the new Underworld yet? My friend is nagging me to go on the weekend. I mean, Kate Beckinsdale... Hell yes. But cba to go to the cinema. Cinema or wait to watch it at home?

I just watched Disney's The Princess & the Frog. I don't know why it took me three years to get around to it. So much better, and funnier than most kid's movies these days. I've also missed the classic Disney animation style.

I totally saw it the other day and loved it. She's all kinds of badass in it.

Maybe I'll go later on today or tomorrow evening then.

I saw The Help yesterday. It was pretty good, even though same parts were obviously made to make people cry or something, which annoys me a bit.

I hope Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer both win the Oscar, they are terrific.

And Emma Stone is great! I love that she is so awkward sometimes. Her voice is funny. I feel she is going to be a great star pretty soon.

Watched Whip It again today. What a cast that film has.
