Edited your list for the movies I was allowed to see:D
add:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan
The Fox and the Hound
The Last Starfighter
Gremlins
The Goonies
Ghostbusters
The Black Hole
Conan The Destroyer
Godzilla
Rodan
Destroy All Monsters

and any Abbott and Costello movie (I miss WPIX in the 80s...of course, now I don't get it anymore as I'm on satellite and not cable).

I could add more movies from later years, but I consider the "growing up" part to be before I became a teenager.

gooniers
never ending story
princess bride
star wars
buck rogers ( tv show )

i'm sure there's lots more.

Oh, I forgot The Neverending Story. Add that to my list too.

Lord knows what else I've forgotten - there were a number of movies I watched over and over and over in the 80s.

Amadeus

Basically only favorite movie growing up. I do remember watching NIMH about some rats and a bunch of Disney cartoons and An American Tale but none of them were really favorites.

Just about any science fiction/horror movies when I was a kid, loved them, couldn't get enough of them--Mothra, Burn Witch Burn, Night of the Demon, etc; French New Wave and Hollywood classics from the silents through the 60's when I hit my late teens.

Die Hard
Beetlejuice
The Neverending Story

I watched the same movies every day.

Gone With The Wind
Wizard Of Oz

I've been trying to rent this movie in Victoria at little video stores all over the place, and can't find it. I made a friend of mine sit through Weekend At Bernie's and she loved it. This one is next on the list. I guess I may have to buckle down and buy (or otherwise acquire) it.
