* Absolute Beginners,
* Gay Purree,
* this movie where a mouse and his dad wander the world..all I remember is that at one point they see themselves in a repeating picture.
oh.. yeah.. I watched the Crow over and over for a while too.. Name reminded me. I can recite Legends of the Fall too.

I loved Valley Girls. I rented it many, many times. Now, when I see a picture of Nicolas Cage in a magazine, I wonder...my gawd, what happened?

This is Spinal Tap is one of my all time favorites. Before my husband and I were married, we probably watched it together 30 times. We never got tired of it.

I got turned on to The Beatles when I was about 3. Dad would play the 8-track of Abbey Road all the time in the car. When I was about 11, my parents took me to "Beatlemania" on Broadway. Within 6 months, I had all of their albums and wore them all out rather quickly.

Concerning films, I always loved all of the Pink Panther movies. Hmm, what else? Smokey and the Bandit, Young Frankenstein, Jaws, Airplane, and Willie Wonka were all huge favorites and still are. (All of which I saw in the theater)

Oh, I'm with Merry. Valley Girl. Many times. My babysitter was just like those girls, and I so wanted to be my babysitter.

Others from my childhood:
The Sound of Music
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas
The Goonies
Nightmare on Elm Street
Purple Rain (yeah, still my childhood; my parents should have hidden their betas better)
Red Sonja (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sleeping Beauty
Peter Pan

I'm just mentioning the ones I watched over and over again.

The last film from my youth that I watched and watched and watched and loved and loved and loved and wrote diary entries about was Edward Scissorhands.

Oh yeah, I used to get pissed as a young lad if I thought I might miss my daily(or was it weekly) episode of GI-Joe.

Phantom of the Paradise (Stunning)
Dark Star (Wicked funny)
Harold and Maude (Perfect)
The Producers (Also perfect)
The Point (Trippy)
Hello, Down There (I guess I really liked Tony Randall)

Oh man.

I was nine when my parents got a beta machine and by the time I was ten, they had two VCRs and used to tape movies from rented videos and from HBO and Cinemax...this was back in 1982-3. The first movies I remember watching and re-watching endlessly were Elvis movies.

From there chronologically.....it was The Parent Trap, The Jerk, The Outsiders (this one got the most airplay--I had the dialogue memorized), The Goonies, Princess Bride (memorized), Adventures in Babysitting (memorized), Heathers (OMG, memorized, still), The Little Mermaid, Red Shoe Diaries (stole it from the video store once when I was high), and When Harry Met Sally. These are the movies I've seen at least twenty, maybe thirty times apiece since elementary school. In college, it was Heathers and all the Brat Pack movies and RSD....endlessly....over and over again night after night.

Of these movies, I've seen several of them in the past year.....okay....actually all of them except Red Shoe Diaries and Adventures in Babysitting.

And if I had them, I'd watch them this instant.
