movies that shaped my childhood

This list is going to be VERY VERY long. I didn't realize how long it was going to be until I started looking things up. These aren't in any particular order, except for alphabetical, kind of.

1. A Little Princess. This movie is the most depressing/heartwarming movie ever. 

2. Addams Family. I wanted to be Wednesday. Obviously.

3. Aladdin!! There is nothing more to say. Except for I wanted to be Jasmine. I just wanted to be a princess.

4. All Dogs Go To Heaven. This movie has it all, drinking, smoking, gambling, kidnapping, and a cute orphan. 

5. I watched this movie over and over and over until I was about 18. Also, Asian Santa Claus? Awesome.

6. I love this movie. I haven't seen it in about fifteen years, but I still love it.

7. DO YOU REMEMBER THIS MOVIE?? Schizophrenic girl has an invisible best friend that is crazy, and also British. I'm actually going to rent it tonight, and maybe never give it back. That's how good it is. 

8. I mostly loved this movie because it terrifies my little sister, even to this day. All you have to do is mention E.T., and she freaks out.


9. I love Fern Gully so much that Davy and I were Krysta and Zak for Halloween last year. I'm devoted.

10. I mostly just love Cory Feldman, but the Goonies was one of the coolest movies I can remember watching as a kid. Who wouldn't love to find a giant ship full of treasure AND save your families AND escape crazy burglars all in one fell swoop?

11. I actually just watched this the other day. Hocus Pocus is one of Bette Midler's best movies, and the only movie Sarah Jessica Parker looks attractive in. 

12. Another one I need to rent tonight. 

13. I pretty much am just in love with Robin Williams, and wanted to be a mermaid for most of my life. PS: Isn't Julia Roberts super hot as Tinkerbell?

14. I just put this in here because it's so funny. Indian? in the cupboard? Racist a little?

15. Another Robin Williams movie. The spiders still haunt my dreams.

16. This is actually my all-time favorite. I know every word to every scene and every song. David Bowie's junk is prominent. 

17. Ducky was my favorite. Probably because Ducky was so dumb.

18. I should probably just put every Disney movie on here. My mom still hates this movie because she didn't know that Mufasa dies. She's still traumatized by it.

19. This is the last Disney one, I promise. This was the first movie I ever saw in theaters, and I wanted my mom to rewind it. I was only two, or something.

20. DO YOU REMEMBER THIS ONE?? HOLY CRAP!! For some reason, hardly anyone that I've talked to remembers this movie. If you haven't seen it, you freaking need to. It's amazing.

21. I honestly only remember the soundtrack from this one, but I remember liking it a lot. I think. 

22. Another one that I own. Frankenstein is so misunderstood.

23. I was an emo kid, what can I say? 

24. MACAULAY CULKIN. BOOKS. INANIMATE OBJECTS THAT TALK. What more could you want?

25. Another one from when I was really little. Imaginary friends seem to be a theme with me.

26. I own two copies of this movie, just in case one gets messed up. I am so obsessed with The Princess Bride, it's disgusting. It is also my all-time favorite movie. I know every word, and quote it constantly.

27. Puff the Magic Dragon. I wore this tape out. I think my mom still has it.

28. The Sandlot. Big puppy. 'Nuff said.

29. OKAY. This is the last Disney movie. But I couldn't leave this one out. 

30. Skekses. Nightmares. Puppets.

31. Again, with the imaginary friends and books. There's a reoccurring theme here.

That's all I got, but I feel like I missed some. Anybody?
