    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.

    Rather shockingly, I have never seen ET.


    To answer your question, quite a few. Bambi, Peter Pan, The Goonies.....I'm sure there are loads.

    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.

    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?

    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

    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

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