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

    Damn you, Disney.
    drivingrl: "Will I ever get to meet Gwen Stefani?"
    kevinbeetle: "Yes. When her career washes up and her and Gavin move to Galveston, you will meet her at Hot Topic shopping for a Japanese cheerleader outfit.

    Next!"

    The Karate Kid I, II and III (less said about the one with Hillary Swank, the better)
    The Lion King
    Stand By Me (still a fave)
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    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.

    just about any horror movie ever made

    original dracula with bela lugosi

    the dracula series with christopher lee

    original wolfman with lon chaney (i think it was him)

    the sean connery james bond movies

    i also have a fonda memory of barbarella.. :D
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
