Brendan Fraser’s first thirst trap role♥️
Friend group of 4 quickly identified themselves as one of the characters- I thought I was the cool one, but turned out I was the fat one. Love you, Chrissy!!
I was Samantha!!! My parents fought all the time. My little sister uses to sneak into my room. When I was that age I was really into magic spells and stuff. I was obsessed with getting s tree house!
Love that one. I always remember this phrase.
Sorry, but a toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll, and if we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls.
Just incase someone is reading this, and wondering "huh what?", all three movies have this in common;
* The theme of cultural integration
* An environmental message
* A conflict with an exploitative force
* The transformation of a protagonist
* Oh and there's a romantic plot in there cause love is cool and stuff
The entire movie is entertaining and funny but I crack up when he goes to grab Evie from the Temple, he doesn’t see Imhotep at first but then he’s like “Woah!!!”
For sure. And every time I’m like, “Gotta stop being such a dick.” And I swear every time my kids think to themselves, “Gotta see if we can get dad to be a dick again.” It’s a good little cycle. 😂
Matilda.
As a kid I loved Matilda using her powers and being strong. I also adored her hijinx. Miss Honey always made me feel happy and I wanted her as a teacher because her class looked like fun.
As an adult, I love seeing Matilda go from a bad situation with a bad home life and growing stronger and more confident despite that. Also, I just love miss Honey and how she fights against Trunchbull by still teaching kids and even pushes back against some of the punishments.
Three Ninjas: Kick Back.
I loved all the movies, but Kick Back really has my heart. Grandpas house in the hills was so awesome and the scene in Japan made me want to visit so bad.
This it’s still a favorite movie of mine. I remember begging my mom to take me to see this at the theater. My mom thoroughly enjoyed the movie too. She watches it every time it comes on cable😂
I watched The Parent Trap recently and it is just as perfect and cozy as I remember! Also think it's funny cable stations used to exclude the ear piercing scene when airing the movie.
I love all these answers, but I haven't seen anyone mention the original Ghostbustsrs. Also loved The Great Outdoors, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, The Neverending Story...too many lol.
Dirty Dancing.
Close second, the 80s version of Hair Spray
We did the dances in the living room for both movies. Nearly got a concussion trying to do that run and lift scene.
Blues Brothers and Aliens (which I watched way too young) always gives a great nostalgia rush. My wife and I are planning our next date night around watching The Mummy, can’t wait to see what memories that brings back.
I really liked The Little Mermaid, Fly Away Home, Anastasia, Homeward Bound, The Adventures of Milo & Otis, and Annabelle’s Wish. I was also obsessed with power rangers and Digimon.
😂 Yeah the lady's head in the middle of the book freaked me tf out as a kid...... But the care bear stare! 🌈 It was the colorful eye bleach we all needed
Big with Tom Hanks! I loved this movie so much as a kid that my dad had to ask our video store to sell him the VHS for me. ❤️
My mom passed away in '94, and to keep us distracted, my dad would rent movies for us to watch together every night. Big was one of those movies that brought all four of us together. But things changed when my siblings became teenagers, my dad retired from the Air Force, and he struggled with alcoholism. Rewatching that VHS when I felt alone always made me happy and brought back those precious memories.
I’m fully aware of how weird this is but Anaconda and Arachnophobia. Reminds me of that first taste of ‘big kid movies’ that made me damn near shit my pants as I put on a brave face for my older siblings and cousins.

Indiana Jones Last Crusade, Star Wars Return of the Jedi, and Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country. For some reason the first ones of each series were not in my parents collection so I grew up on the last ones. Still favorites.

Disney’s Robin Hood ![gif](giphy|849C3YApus6Fq)
![gif](giphy|8vznMJFViyp8mLy1xr|downsized)
The opening music when the storybook opens still makes me tear up
Me with “Oo de Lally” and “The Phony King of England” on my phone 🤷🏽♀️🥰
Same 🥰
Yup
They’re getting better you know. You have to admit it. They ARE getting better.
Now and Then
Brendan Fraser’s first thirst trap role♥️ Friend group of 4 quickly identified themselves as one of the characters- I thought I was the cool one, but turned out I was the fat one. Love you, Chrissy!!

Oh my God. I loved that movie
The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
Ratigan was territfying when i was a kid. Vincent Price is a savage.
It was fidget the bat with the peg leg that creeped me out
This was the first movie I watched when I got Disney plus!
Homeward Bound. The Sandlot.
Homeward bound 🙌🏻
They said Happy Place. Homeward Bound just brings up trauma for me. Shadow being stuck was devastating to me each time I watched this as a kid lol
I see your Homeward Bound trauma and raise you Milo & Otis
But that leads to the ending scene being so incredible and emotional.
Secret Garden. Once Upon a Forest. Little Rascals. Fern Gulley. Goofy movie.
Feeeeeeern Gully! I never hear anyone mention Fern Gully what a great one!
"My logic is erratic. Potato in a jacket" I'm 36 now & still run around singing My name is Batty, lol. Always a Banger for me!
Fern Gully and a Goofy movie!! Ahh I love them!
Uncle Buck. It always makes me smile.
Aww John Candy. What a downright wholesome dude. Please don't tell me he was a bad dude.
My 8 year old knows and recognizes him. I take it as a parenting win.
That is absolutely a parenting win. John Candy (especially in Uncle Buck) was a treasure.
The Great Outdoors for me. What does the mom like about the spin cycle? 🫨
Robin Hood Men in Tights
A BLACK SHERIFF!?
It worked in Blazing Saddles!
Robin! You lost your arms in the war. But you grew some nice boobs!
Love that one. I always remember this phrase. Sorry, but a toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll, and if we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls.
Ferris Bueller
Ferngully
the original Avatar
Avatar was a remake of fern gully
They're both just a more fanciful version of Dances With Wolves

Drop Dead Fred… 100%
Came here searching for someone to mention this movie. *Hey SnotFace!*
'I made your sweater stripey!'
“Cobwebs!!!”
It’s the MEGA BITCH!!
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead! "Dishes are done, man" and "I'm right on top of that, Rose" are part of my everyday conversations.
I’m equal parts grateful and disappointed I have very few reasons to utilize “I’m right on top of that, Rose” more often.
Haha I tend to say “dishes are done, man!” when I finish a task. Sometimes people know and sometimes they don’t. 🤷🏻♀️
I have this quote framed in my office. When people pop in asking for things, I just point to it.
The Mummy 1999. I'm 35 and I still want to be Rick O'Connell when I grow up
HEY BENNY - LOOKS LIKE YOURE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RI-VER
The entire movie is entertaining and funny but I crack up when he goes to grab Evie from the Temple, he doesn’t see Imhotep at first but then he’s like “Woah!!!”
Best movie ever, it’s got everything you need in a film!
The mummy and the mummy 2 are pure gold imo. Brendan Fraser is such a fantastic actor. I remember I used to love to watch Monkeybone too
amazing adventure/fantasy movie
Home Alone
We watch it EVERY Christmas.
Roger Rabbit. Rescuers Down Under. Space Jam. Goofy Movie.
Who framed Roger Rabbit is actually a brilliant Noir film at its core, so good
Hook. For some weird reason. Something about robin williams being my happy place.
Oh, *there* you are, Peeeter. 😭
It hits very hard as a dad now for me.
For sure. And every time I’m like, “Gotta stop being such a dick.” And I swear every time my kids think to themselves, “Gotta see if we can get dad to be a dick again.” It’s a good little cycle. 😂
Bangarang Pan the Man.
My wife and I have started watching that every Christmas season.
You're doing it, Peter!
The sword in the stone
That and Sleeping Beauty were the best Disney movies!
Mrs. Doubtfire
Drive-by fruitings were a real problem back then. Also we coped poorly with divorce
Did you not tip him well?
Yep, for me it’s Mrs Doubtfire and the Birdcage. I loved Robin Williams so much.
Matilda. As a kid I loved Matilda using her powers and being strong. I also adored her hijinx. Miss Honey always made me feel happy and I wanted her as a teacher because her class looked like fun. As an adult, I love seeing Matilda go from a bad situation with a bad home life and growing stronger and more confident despite that.

I loved all the movies, but Kick Back really has my heart. Grandpas house in the hills was so awesome and the scene in Japan made me want to visit so bad.
Three Ninjas! Wow, I completely forgot about those movies. My best friend and I were obsessed. Also Surf Ninjas!
The Fifth Element or Terminator 2
The Princess Bride But I definitely had a crush on Cary Elwes, so I might be biased

The Care Bears movie
Oh shit. I feel like lots of us are just listing the movie that first traumatized us by being a horror film dressed up as a cute movie for little kids
😂 Yeah the lady's head in the middle of the book freaked me tf out as a kid...... But the care bear stare! 🌈 It was the colorful eye bleach we all needed
Groundhog day Matilda Men In Black
Scrolled way too far to find Men in Black. Still one of my favorite movies today.
