Top 15 Movies From My Childhood That I Could Still Watch Over and Over (#11-15)

You know these movies, the ones you've seen hundreds of times ever since you were 3 years old. I've compiled a list of the 15 best movies from my child years and I'd like to hear yours as well, so feel free to comment. Just to clear things up, these 15 movies are in fact the best movies from my younger years, so if you disagree, you're wrong.

I've chosen to just use plot outlines from http://www.imdb.com simply because it's easiest, but I may add additional comments to a few. I may have forgotten some films, but these are the ones I remembered. It was hard narrowing them down, but I think I'm satisfied enough with the list. I'm going to split this up into three posts simply so there isn't one incredibly long post. If you click the title of the movie, it'll bring you to a video clip of each film. At last, these are the bottom five...


#15 - The Princess Bride - "A classic fairy tale, with swordplay, giants, an evil prince, a beautiful princess, and yes, some kissing (as read by a kindly grandfather)." (imdb.com) How good is this movie? I'm sure most everyone has seen this because it's on all the time, or at least it used to be. It's a comedy involving all the fairytale stereotypes and it definitely is a classic.


#14 - The Lion King - "Tricked into thinking he killed his father, a guilt ridden lion cub flees into exile and abandons his identity as the future King." (imdb.com) Hakuna-matata.




#13 - Sandlot - "Scotty Smalls moves to a new neighborhood with his mom and stepdad, and wants to learn to play baseball..." (imdb.com) Everyone loves this movie, but I think I came to like it because backyard baseball was the thing to do growin' up, so I could relate. Fortunately, I never had to run from an enormous dog. "You're killing me smalls"


#12 - Hook - "When Capt. Hook kidnaps his children, an adult Peter Pan must return to Neverland and reclaim his youthful spirit in order to challenge his old enemy." (imdb.com)


#11 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit - "A toon hating detective is a cartoon rabbit's only hope to prove his innocence when he is accused of murder." (imdb.com) God, this film is good; half-animated, half-real, it brings in all sorts of conflict. I remember the first time I ever saw it, I was disturbed by some parts of the movie, but now I can watch it and enjoy it. Still a great childhood movie nonetheless.

I'll post the next five later or tomorrow.
