what! no Top Gun?

Wargames, the princess bride.

***matty_f*** · 25-02-2015 11:59 PM

Jossie's Giants had a great theme tune.

Films - all about Star Wars and Indiana Jones for me, then Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Karate Kid, Gremlins, Terminator, Alien(s), The Lost Boys, Ferris Beuller, the Last Starfighter, some of the Arnie films like Commando or the JCVD ones like Kickboxer were good when I was too wee to know they were bad!!

Back to the Future trilogy is still a favourite even though I wasn't a kid when they were first released.

I watched the trilogy for the first time a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. The second one they went to 2015!

Jesus!!! Cannae believe I forgot that one!!! Been trying to hunt down a copy on DVD but can never get it. Absolute fantastic film...

Convoy.

10/4 good buddies, catch you on the flip side!

I became obsessed with trucks and CB radio for about 2 years after watching Convoy. Who remembers saying 10/4 for a "coffee" (instead of 10/4 for a copy), then when someone replied you'd say, milk and two sugars please. Hilarious when you were 10!

***Billy Whizz*** · 27-02-2015 08:18 AM

When I was around 10 or so, me and my mum used to watch all the Norman Wisdom movies, loved them all.
I have memories of going with the school to see Bednobbs and broomsticks as well

On a similar note noone i dont think has mentioned smokey and the bandit(first 2 movies for me) was a couple of fav movies for me, though i recall watching them as a kid, and still love the films today !!
As a kid i used to love the ninja turtles(the cartoons) and loved the couple of films that came out.
I agree with some of the posters so far with there surggestions though!

The Cannonball run was a brilliant film as well

**patch1875** · 04-03-2015 10:43 AM

The Adventure Game

**Stranraer** · 04-03-2015 03:06 PM

The Ace Ventura line with the helicopter "you know, you could poke someone's eye out with that thing" still cracks me up.

The Adventure Game

Was that the one with the big lizard thing?!

**Betty Boop** · 05-03-2015 10:53 AM

Cannae believe nobody's mentioned The Champ. Such a tearjerker.

That's the one! Sure they used to change into other things though, remember a talking plant.

Very weird

***Hibrandenburg*** · 05-03-2015 05:41 PM

Wizard of Oz anybody?

Wasn't that a weird game show type thing, with quivering plants and lizards?

Cannae be arsed checking the chronological order

Watership Down
Bugsy Malone
Star Wars trilogy
Jaws
WW2 Epics

and on TV

Space 1999
Flash Gordon (original show)

Traumatising for the kids of today. General woundworth would frighten the life out of them.

***Hermit Crab*** · 05-03-2015 09:02 PM

Indiana Jones. Raiders of the lost ark. Just a brilliant film.

***Baldy Foghorn*** · 05-03-2015 09:28 PM

Brewster's Millions

Brewster's Millions

I watched it on Sky about a month ago. Still a great film! :)

You still occasionally hear some people using the phrase "brewstered", meaning flush for cash, or rich. :)

**over the line** · 05-03-2015 09:59 PM

Trading Places.

One scene in particular made a huge impact on me as a 13 year old boy! I think you all know which scene!?!?!?

:)
