.... I think that's it. The Star Wars trilogy, certainly, but that's different. That was a cultural phenomenon.

Exorcist

Omen

Amityville Horror

Squirm

Seriously f---ed me up for a LONG time.

I couldn't eat spaghetti,terrified of worms, was afraid of basements, never wanted a white night gown, or any damn troll doll.... I feared for my ankles getting chewed up by some toothy doll until I was damn near 18.

Ridiculous.

My first nasty movie was Johnny F----er Faster when my mom and her guy slipped us kids in a drive in that featured porn and she didn't know. Yup we watched it with our "hands over our eyes".

My mom being a Rican didn't bother to read or realize what movie was playing I was 7 years old.

Most of my favs have been listed except...

Porky's

The Last American Virgin

Better Off Dead

License To Drive

Breakin (1 & 2)

Mine was A Star Is Born (the 1976 one with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson). I was 15...

I'm going to define "childhood" as before the age of 13.

Grease

Star Wars

The Empire Strikes Back

Sleeping Beauty

hmm...

There were other movies I had seen, but I would not call them my favorites--like The Wizard of Oz. That may be the very first movie I remember seeing, but I really have no desire to ever watch it again. Maybe I'd watch Superman again just to see how it has aged.

how could i forget

DRACULA

THE BRIDES OF DRACULA

ABOTT AND COSTELLO MEET DRACULA
frankenstien vs. the wolfman

Laurel and Hardy

Oh, yeah - I saw Gone With The Wind on the big screen when I was 11. It's still one of my favorite movies of all time - and the one that really ignited my love of classic film.

In high school, we must have had an English teacher who was a classic film buff, because we saw movies like On the Waterfront, Rebel Without a Cause, Blackboard Jungle and East of Eden in school. They showed them as sort of in-house field trips. It was great.

Reading this thread, many people saw a lot of adult films when they were kids. This is why the world is in such a sad state today.

When I was in middle school, they always showed a feature film to each class as a treat before Christmas. In seventh grade, our film was Downhill Racer. Now, that is a pretty decent film with Robert Redford, but too adult (by the standards of the time) to be showing to 12-year-olds. (I'm sure the teacher who arranged it just thought, "Oh, it's a movie about skiing," without really looking into it.)

Anyway, when my mom found out they'd showed that movie - in school - she called and raised hell with the principal.

Great movie poster!

No way would the nuns in my grade school show us a film advertised like that.

Camilla Sparv (who played Robert Redford's love interest) was insanely gorgeous. I'm sure that was the "afternoon of a thousand boners" for my male classmates.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Man I love that movie! I actually saw this was on cable last night, looked at the future air times and set the DVR to records it. Because taking the DVD off the shelf would just be too much effort.

I was only 14 and the adults who took me were very uncomfortable for most of the movie.
