I'd have to go with "The Goonies"....not that I've seen either of them, but I know that the Teena Marie track "14k" is on soundtrack!

Dammit!

Another two close to my heart!

I was a huge muppet fan, so the Dark Crystal was my all time favorite... followed by NES, Goonies, and Labyrinth... and yes Tron and Dune.

Me and my siblings must be one of the very few that grew up on the obscurity "Return to oz", which was Disney's stab at the 80's kid fantasy movie. It's somewhat of an obscure cult movie now as it was not a success at the time but I prefer it over "The Goonies" "Labyrinth" and "The Neverending story". It's blessed with one of the better kid actors to star in a family film too (a young Fairuza Bulk) and gasp!, for a disney film, it has no songs (ditto for other minor cult movie they did "The Black Cauldron"). It was also directed by film editing legend Walter Murch.

At least Disney bothered to put "Return to oz" on VHS at the time (mid 80's), as their other big bomb "The Black Cauldron", which was one of a spate of sword and sorcery kids films of that time, didn't get a VHS release until the late 90's.

I just looked and apparantly theres a proper and recent hour long documentary about "Return to oz" LOL. I need to find that....

Wow, they really hated "Return to oz" LOL. They barely mentioned why they hated it though, but anyway yes it is abit dark (particually the first half hour), but I still stand by it

I go with Goonies. The characters are more lovable. The boy on the dog is pretty forgettable

Me and my kids LOVE this. It gets tons of play in our house.

The first time they watched it they were a little bit scared of parts of it, which is part of the appeal for them.

I can frighten my little girl so easily by saying 'Dorothy Gayle' the same way as Mombie (?) does. And they quite often role play as Dorothy and the Wheelers.

The Wheelers are enough to give me nightmares!

Hooray! LOL. Iam so glad someone else is showing this movie to kids as it's totally fogotten outside 80's movie geeks (like me) and cult movie buffs. Infact, I don't think this movie even has cult status yet. Walt Disney himself knew you had to scare kids a little in any family film to make the good vs evil story seem more "real" or whatever, and he was right.

Goonies.

Goonies for me! Huge fan. Then Labrynth and Dark Crystal as others have mentioned. Followed closely by The Neverending Story.

Fraggle Rock IS the shit, though.

And I'd take The Princess Bride (not exactly the same, but kind of) over all of them.

Totally agree.

Never seen the Goonies or Labyrinth. Dark Crystal was wack, and Never Ending Story was except for that giant flying dog.

I just put Dark Crystal on my Netfllix list. I have never seen it.

Just saw the Goonies for the first time a few years ago. It was okay. I don't know if I've ever seen all of Neverending Story

I loved the Goonies...

I made my son do the truffle shuffle before I gave him his DS today.

The Goonies-still love that movie to this day

Never Ending Story.

I have to say Goonies however I do love Neverending Story. Atreyu was fucking hot.

Goonies

Legend

Weird Science

The Never Ending Story

neverending story (good book, too) was my favorite, especially the bit with the childlike empress holding the last grain of fantastica , cool lyrics for the theme song

labyrinth i watched many times, actually liked david bowie's hair at the time, not sure why. fun music, i still play that dance music dance song sometimes. my favorite scene was with that old puppet bag lady woman and all the stuff . also that masquerade dance scene was pretty.

i liked the goonies, that song 'good enough' is cool

Didn't know his name was Falkor, but I knew he was a luck dragon. I just didn't want to sound like more of a geek than I am.

His real name is Fuchur.

I finally watched Dark Crystal. I am not sure what to make of it. It was creative, and I liked much of it, but there was something off about it.

I felt maybe it Henson & Oz should have stuck to the effects, voices, and even writing, but that maybe someone else should have directed it.
