I didn't see Lawrence of Arabia until I was in university :oops: Amazing film.

Let me guess, it was for a class project :lol: ? Wasn't Sir Alec Guinness just amazing in that movie? I just loved him as King Faisal. In fact, the entire cast was amazing, Omar Shareef, Anthony Quinn & Peter O' Toole. It's truly a classic.
 
Definitely Goonies and Labyrinth!! Oh, and I know it wasn't exactly a kid's flick.....but I used to watch the movie "The Lost Boys" over and over again! I loved that movie!! And of course my mom used to put on "The Wizard of Oz" a lot when I was little!!! Must think it's a really good movie as many times as I have seen it :D

Oh, and good call with "The Neverending Story"....what a classic!
 
You MUST see the adorable Princess Bride!!

Buckley, better late than never dear. It also includes one of my childhood wrestling faves... the late Andre the Giant.

A friend's girlfriend insisted we watch it after a night out in Dublin. Bought it on DVD the minute we got back to London!

I quite liked Labyrinth. Bowie was soooo cool 8)

Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal was also a classic.


The Dark Crystal! I loved it! My dad was a huge fan of Tolkien and fantasy and I still remember the day he took us to the cinema to see it. It was in Passeig de Gracia, the cinema is now a mango shop :D

- Top Secret :D
- The princess bride: Hi, I'm Iñigo de Montoya, you killed my dad get ready to die :D (or something similar)
- Porkies
- The never ending story altho I read the book previously and I was a bit surprised. :D
- Nobody mentions ET?
