THAT was one of the only movies that would lock me in my seat when I was really little.
The best one I have seen this year (I haven't seen many kids movies this year) is Over The Hedge.
Monsters INC., as first posted is a great one, Robots was good...uhm, I'm drawing a blank now. Damnit.

the one with mickey rooney ?

gorgeous movie ..

Hmmmm probably Gremlins, Back To The Future, Raiders of the Lost Arc, Star Wars...... stuff like that. Oh yeh and The Goonies!

I used to watch Jaws just about everyday when I was a gripper. Wore that tape out! Same deal with Commando.

Those weren't kids films!!! (I got to see them anyway, but still! Of course, my mum took me to see Fatal Attraction when I was nine, but still!) Goonies was great! Great film! However, the characters "Chunk" and "Mouth" were very vulgar children, not to mention those dastardly Fertelli's!

Anyway... I knew a lot of kids who were scared by the first Gremlins film. I hate pussy kids. I loved it though.


That remark about the "pussy kids" was unfair, I know.

i loved robocop when i was a kid. not even close to a kids movie. disturbed the living fuck out of me when i was little. it was the first hardcore violence i had ever been exposed to.

My brother would let me watch the videos him and his friends got out when he was babysitting me. I didn't watch a hell of a lot of "kids" flicks growing up. I jumped straight into shit like The Terminator and Aliens.... all those Disney style movies didn't cut it after that! I watched a bunch of 80s gang movies too which there's a bunch of I haven't been able to find since (I've been looking for a copy of Savage Streets for years).

Invaders From Mars ('86) was a movie I loved too when I saw it on TV as a kid.

The Rescuers was a favourite as a kid

i loved and still love the little mermaid. my friends and i, at the age of 20, have nicknames for each other based on disney princesses. i am ariel.. its pretty fun. basically, as a little kid, any disney movie was my thing. i loved the little mermaid, robin hood, toy story, peter pan, anything. all good in my book.

I had the proud honor of having a brother five years old than me. It was because of him that I got to watch all of the horror flics as a child. I also got to watch Commando. One of my favorite movies as a kid that was not a "kid's movie" was the "classic" Conan the Barbarian (the second one was okay the first five times I watched it). If my bro said it was cool (and he'd lie so I could see it) my parents would let me see it a la Lost Boys.

I also loved Dune as a child. That movie blew me away when I saw it.
