Erm... I hate to say it, but I saw Austin Powers before the Bond films. :tup:


Dude!

I thought you we're older than, what you really are. Like 40. You've revealed yourself with that Austin Powers comment...

(next thing I know, you're not even a dude, but a dudette with manly username :tup: )



Anyway...

My Favorite Films I Saw as a Youth;

Ghostbusters 1 & 2 (Still love both of them...the first one more than the second one)

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly/ For A Few Dollars More. (Still LOVE these movies. I saw the first one "A Fistful of Dollars' later in my life, so I can't say it was one of my favorite movies, when I was a young lad)

Goldfinger & Moonraker (These are the Bond movies, I remember seeing time after time, when I was young. Must've been 4 or 5 year old when I saw both of them. I still rank these Bond movies high on my list. Part of it being for nostalgic reasons)

The NeverEnding Story 1 & 2. (Haven't seen neither of those in years. Used to borrow the movies many many times from my local library)

Robocop (Man, I loved this one. I even got the dvd box, so you could still say that I "like" Robocop. Especially the first one.)




From tv I loved all the old Disney shorts. Especially the one's that starred either Donald or Goofy.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles / Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (You know. The original cartoon from the 80's) Also loved Turtles movies. The first movie I saw in the cinema was...yes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III :(

DuckTales

Goof Troop

Alfred J. Kwak http://en.wikipedia..../Alfred_J._Kwak

Captain Planet http://www.turner.com/planet/





That's about it. I'm sure that I have forgotten some of them.

I

always remember watching a movie called "The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid" in the early 80's on video.

And another one was Condorman, which was supposed to be Michael Crawford's big blockbuster and it was a BOMB.


God yes, I remember both! Did the former one star Cary Guffey from CLOSE ENCOUNTERS as a space kid?


Yes it did indeed star Cary Guffey as the kid, and boxer Joe Bugner played the Sheriff. And it was an Italian movie, but made in English.

Oddly...even before watching "The Lion King", "Snow White", "The Fox & The Hound" and all the other appropriate children's movies, I remember watching Raiders, and seeing Nazi's getting thrown out of trucks and a dark roomfull of snakes and decaying corpses. My brother got All three movies on VHS for his 9th birthday, and we ended up watching at least one a day. I then remember The Sandlot, "Homeward Bound" "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and "Batman Returns". Obviously I was a 90's kid

The Love Bug
Blazing Saddles
Pink Panther
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (funniest film ever!)
The Great Escape
Star Wars (Episode 4: A New Hope - saw it 1 month before I turned 12)

and

Doctor No
From Russia with Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
The Man with The Golden Gun
The Spy who Loved Me

(note: I didn't see YOLT, OHMSS and LALD until some years later).
