    My sister loved Little mermaid

    we basically only had tv back then vcrs just came out and Betas, well sucked. We didn't have cable until I was closer to high school.

    I loved Willow, ET, Neverending story, Willy Wonka, Charolettes web, the sound of music and Mary poppins

    i think all the above mentioned movies are some of my childhood favs. though i'd add alice in wonderland to the mix. not sure if it appeals to guys at all, but it's my all time fav!
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    How about Jumanji? My older, she's 19 now, loved it when she was little and now my littles, 5-9 , love it.

    Of course my 6 year old loves the Evil dead series and the Horror Fest series, but he may be different.

    I'm watching Homeward Bound on TV right now. This movie always made me cry buckets when I was little.

    Damn you, Disney.

    One of those few book-to-film examples that totally destroys the book. The final line is one of the all-time greats: "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"

    I did admittedly but it's a wonderful sentiment :)

    Also, River Phoenix was terrific.
