Childhood Movies, that you haven't seen since childhood

Mint Sauce

Just occurred to me, that I have not seen ET, and The Never Ending Story, since I seen them when first released.

Anyone else, who have not seen classic childhood movies more than once.

Macavity.

Lion King. Must watch it one of the days.

I saw half of Blank Check when I was about 8 and secretly thought to myself that it was absolutely amazing until I rewatched it about a year ago.

Out of similar circumstances, I have been in arguments over Three Ninjas being better than the Karate Kid.

I have a friend who has never seen any of the Back to the Future, Star Trek, Indiana Jones or Star Wars films. He hasn't seen anything like The Neverending Story, ET or the Lord of the Rings films either.

He's a bit of an oddball to be honest, he's got a different girlfriend every time I see him and left rural Ireland for a really high paying job in Dublin so he obviously has social issues from not seeing The Classics.

It was just a long advertisement for mc donalds

Only seen BMX Bandits once and loved that.

Only seen Confessions of a Window Cleaner once also and although not a child's movie, I was a child when I seen it, so technically that counts, right.

I thought it was about kids removing a virus from a computer and installing the latest drivers for graphics cards and the like. Boy was I in for a shock.

The Princess and the Troll, I remember really enjoying it.

The Three Ninjas - "Rocky loves Emily!"

Plus Dumbo, the bit where his mother is put in a cage and she cradles him with her trunk through the bars really upset me as a child. Still don't know if I could watch it as an adult!

He's blind.

Isn't he?

littlemouse22

The Aristo Cats.
Classic!

The Backwards Man

Big.

Have no inclination to rewatch it either.

Wouldn't mind watching Short Circuit or D.A.R.Y.L again though.

Big,

There was a scene in it, where Tom hanks in the adults body got it on with the lady.

Dodgy grounds?

Mine, I recall watching an old black and white movie called seamus, it was about a young boy with a monkeys tail? An Irish movie and I think we watched it on an old vhs or beta max.

Please tell me I didn't imagine that one??

...but Big's a proper great film, really sweet and charming!


RE: Short Circuit, maybe watch this first so you know what you're heading into

Every single one. I never re-watch films.

The Catholic Boys. Excellent film must see if it's available to download or on DVD.

D.A.R.Y.L

I'd have to say... a lot of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons.


There was a film I've seen recently with my niece that I hadn't watched since I was a kid on Film Four... Explorers

Dang, to think that film is over 20 years old...

Disney's The Aristocats. First film I ever saw, in the old Metropole cinema on O'Connell Street.

Fern Gully, scared the bollox out of me when I was a kid.

Geomy

I remember watching a mini series called the Island of the Great Yellow Ox

I think it was a collaboration between rte and bbc.

It was based on the novel by Walter Macken

This story has the potential of being the Irish version of The Goonies.

I'd love to see it turned into a movie.

LizzieJones

The Red Balloon (1956 film). I saw it in the 60s.

sok2005

He was awesome in that home Alone movie, of which I cannot recall the name of at present. I was very surprised when he turned up on a few episodes of Roseanne back when that show was popular.
