I was taken to see 'The Wizard of Oz' when I was about five. This was many, many years after it first came out. Nevertheless, when the film changed unexpectedly from black and white to colour, a gasp ran around the cinema. I still haven't quite got over that moment. Marvellous stuff.

Mary Poppins

--"I'm not sure which was my "1st" favorite, but I remember loving "Song of the South" and "Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" since the first time I saw them. Willie Wonka came out before the re-release of Song of the South, but I'm not sure which I would have seen first. Both are great classics... Sadly only one can be found in the U.S. today"--

2 good ones. I don't remember seeing Willie Wonka in a theater but I do remember seeing Song of the South in one. I was singing "Zip a Dee Doo Dah" for days afterwards.

I think you can get "Song of the South" in laserdisc. I think it's only available as a Japanese import, too.

Mine was 'Snow White' and my big brother took me to see it. I think i was three.

--"Mary Poppins"--

When I was told I was going to go see Mary Poppins I remember telling my mother, "Why? I don't wanna go see that movie. It's for girls". Of course, I ended up loving it. A wonderful movie.

--"Fantasia, sleeping beauty,bambi."--

Not only 3 animated classics. 3 classics period. But like Mary Poppins I fought with my mother over seeing Fantasia claiming "it's gonna be boring". And again I ended up loving it. What the hell was my problem?

--"The Labarynth" (sp?)

David Bowie in those tight pants--

Labyrinth was a good one. How old were you when you saw it? A young girl liking an older man in tight pants? Wow, my kind of gal.

1977, Age 9: "Star Wars"--need I say more?

1979, Age 11---"The Black Hole"---Anybody remember this one? Disney's first real experiment in sci-fi. Pretty cool, for the time.

1981: Age 13: "Raiders of the Lost Ark"---to this day, I can't see Toht's face melting without remembering the shock it gave me.
"Halloween II"--one of the first 'R' rated movies I ever saw, so it was cool just by virtue of that. It was pretty good when you're a kid, but I watched it again a couple years ago, and it's just not the same when you're 35, you know? You see all the goofy little stuff, like when Michael Myers took the knife from the counter in that old lady's kitchen, I noticed that she'd been making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with a 12" butcher knife. Yeah, I do that all the time.

1982: Age 14: "Rocky III"---I started working out about this time, for high school football, and as I worked out, I played the cassette of the soundtrack so much it wore out. 'It's the---Eye of the Tiger, it's the thrill of the fight! Risin' up, to the challenge of a Rival!' "Prediction? Pain...."
"Star Trek II--The Wrath of Kahn" is from this year, too. Another favorite! "KAAAAHHHNNN!"

1985: Age 17: "Rambo, First Blood Part II"---a classic action movie. One of the best ever made.
Colonel Trautman: "Don't hate your country, John."
Rambo: "Hate? I'd kill for it!"

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Doesn't sound like much of a movie, but I loved Sixteen Candles...aside from the fact that I thought the movie was funny and that Jake Ryan was gorgeous, I also have fond memories of going to see it with my brothers and cousins...we must have gone to see it about three or four times. Two other movies that I loved as a child have already been mentioned, which are Willy Wonka the the Chocolate Factory, and Wizard of Oz. If I think of others, I'll let ya know.

My memory is soooooooooo good I remember slapping the doctor back at birth.

Was that because he slapped you or your mother? Badum-bum--CHING!

--I can remember a lot more than that from around the same age. I think my earliest memory is from when I was around a year and a half and I had to go to the doctor to get shots.

One of the reasons I remember going to the movies with my bro is because the witch scared me and I started to cry and wanted to sit on his lap....but he had tweed pants on that were itchy so I coudn't sit still.--

That is some crazy memory you got there, Dharma. I wonder if you can remember that far back because they were bad experiences -shots and itching.

--Bambi was the first movie I remember. My grandmother took me and my sister to a New York City theater to see it. I think I was five years old, and I loved it.

My all time most favorite movie as a kid was Old Yeller. I was seven years old. I could still see it over and over and over. I just loved that movie--

2 all-time classics. Old Yeller will make any young boy cry. When I saw it the first time I bawled like a baby.
