What Movies Did You Watch as a Kid?
I'm talking the first movies you were ever exposed to. What were they, and do you still think of them fondly today?
I was born in 1988, so that'll give you an idea of what movies were available in my youth. When I was young as fuck, it was in the age of VHS tapes. I fondly remember a few titles that I'll ramble on about.
One Christmas, my brother received a double feature of Terminator and Terminator 2. We watched the fuck out of those, and even though they were rated R, our parents didn't care because the movies were so damn good.
Other prominent movies of my youth included The Goonies, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 and 2, The Adventures of Milo and Otis, The Return of Swamp Thing, Ghostbusters, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids. I just watched that last one with my 4-year-old nephew and he had a blast with it. Very immersed the whole time. I still find it funny that Stuart Gordon co-wrote that movie, may he rest in peace!
Now, these are the earliest movies I remember watching religiously. Shortly after that, I went into a obsessing about other movies, but that's perhaps a discussion for another time. So how about you? What are the first movies you remember watching non-stop as a kid?
