1. Labyrinth
2. Transformers the Movie
3. Short Circuit
4. The Princess Bride
5. Platoon (have always loved war)

Sound of Music
The Princess Bride
The Never ending story

[Newryrep]

Legend ( cant remember the girls name but her outfit in the final showdown when she is rescued by a young Tom Cruise is memorable)

[Magicme]

[passinginterest]

Love the Goonies now, but was much older when I saw it for the first time. Others that I'd include would be The Lion King, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and He-Man (I should probably put in an embarrassed smiley, but I'm not really).

Cat Balloo was and still is one of my favourites:o
The Goonies

[Magicme]

My eldest son loved Cat Ballou. Every day when he was about 4 years old he watched it and War Wagon. Over and over and over and over. I can still hear the line from Cat Ballou "I'm as drunk as a skunk" as slurred by my then 4yr old.

Santa brought them War Wagon on dvd last year. Maybe Cat Ballou will make an appearance this year!

[OwlsFan]

The Guns of Navarone
Jaws
...and anything with Ursula Andress or Raquel Welch.

But, i cant really say dumb and dumber was a growing up film. all those films were class though.

That john denvers full of sh1t man. According to this map we've only gone 2 inches already. Did you pay the gass bill?!:D

i would have watched all those films growing up too and loved them but in my teens.

I think most of the films here are class and I would have put them all in the "good to watch, growing up films"

[superfrank]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Hopefully they'll show that again over Christmas. It's a brilliant film.

I used to like Beetlejuice a lot too.
