Favorite Childhood Film
I enjoyed “Sound of Music.”
Fav Childhood Film
THE GOONIES was by far my favorite, and still is a favorite! My friends and I are always quoting the film. Can’t give up on the ones we grew up on, because Goonies never say die!
Fav Childhood Film
The Potempkin.
No, sorry, the devil made me say that. I have no idea what my favorite childhood film is. Was. Would have been if I had been all there. ;-)
I’m glad the arithmetic Q was simple. Then even *I* could answer it. ;-)
Favorite Childhood Film
It probably has to be Jumanji.
I loved to play games, and seeing a movie where you become part of the game in real life was really exciting and fun for me and my sister. We even bought the board game! Although we were bit nieve and thought we would have the same experience as the movie. Needless to say, we were a bit disappointed.
Raiders Of The Lost Ark
Nothing could beat Spielberg,Lucas and Ford at the very height of their professional careers. I remember wanting to see that movie again immediately after my first viewing. I still love this movie to this day.
My fav was
Def Goonies and Grimlins. I couldn’t go to the bathroom without leaving the door open for weeks!!
