Re: 3 Childhood Defining Movies!

I posted three movies in the other thread, but I'm to old to have grown up on movies like you guys. No VCR until I was half done with high school, no cable until a few years after that. I'd see a movie in the theater once, then maybe get the novelization and that was it. Movies on TV tended to be at least a decade old. That said,

1. The Cowboys (1972)
2. King Kong (1933)
3. Any of the early Marx Brothers films

Now, if we're talking TV, then that's easier:

1.Land of the Lost (original)
2.Star Trek
3. Star Blazers

Re: 3 Childhood Defining Movies!

booo!  I don't like these rules!  I already posted my three in the other thread.  What do you want us to do Pav? LIE?!

If I really have to follows those stupid rules, I would have to say:

1. Empire Strikes Back (1982)
2. Back to the Future (1985)
3. Karate Kid (1984)

Alright, time to play and I will try to follow the rules.

1. Star Wars: If one film defines me, it's this film. From the time I can remember, I have drawn (poorly, I might add) scenes or ships from this movie. To this day, my favorite fighter is the Y-wing and, if my mother would have let me, it would play constantly in my house. While I saw Return of the Jedi first (some confusion for a while about the story) Star Wars became both the defining one as well as a huge impact upon my development.

2. Beauty and the Beast: somewhere, there is a newspaper clipping of my stating my favorite things in 3rd grade. Favorite movie: Beauty and the Beast. The story is great, the songs are memorable and there is some genuine humor that as a kid I got. To top it off, one of the lead animators, Glen Keene, came to my school and showed us preliminary sculpts of the Beast. It got me wondering how movies were made, as well as the fact that it served as a distraction from my biggest fear (thunderstorms).

3. Aladdin: My sister and I memorized this movie after only one or two viewings. While it annoyed my mom, there was a time where it served her well, as my sister and I recited the whole film while on a road trip. It provided some much needed relief while my folks got us un-lost. We still recite the film to this day smile

Good times.

God loves you!
