I think "A Bug's Life" made me communist without realizing it at the time. I watched it over and over obsessively.

Other movies:

  • Ace Ventura
  • Spirited Away
  • The first Pokemon movie

  • Kummeli Kultakuume
  • Pahat Pojat
  • Pitkä Kuuma Kesä
  • South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
  • Jurassic Park
  • Jurassic Park: The Lost World

Note that several of these movies weren't for kids, but I got to watch them regardless.

I looked up Pahat Pojat because I've never heard of it and I gotta say the image for the movie that came up was not what I was expecting for a kids movie

QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 274d (1 reply)

Well, it wasn't intended for kids but I watched it regardless, same with many other movies on my list.

TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 274d

Oh the other movies are understandable, I just wasn't expecting a poster with 4 buff half naked guys

Films that I saw, on TV or at the cinema, prior to the age of 16 or so that had a major impact on me - in the approximate order in which I saw them:

  • The Amazing Mr Blunden
  • Jason and the Argonauts
  • Mon Oncle
  • Star Wars (before it became A New Hope)
  • The Third Man
  • The Omen
  • Stalker - which pretty much marked my transition to adult SF

original Star Wars. saw the ad on TV, the line to get in was down the block. crowd reaction when the death star exploded was awesome. I was 8 or 9 years old.

blues brothers was my first R rated movie. outstanding film!

Eldaroth@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 274d (2 replies)

I would say

  • The Last Unicorn
  • The NeverEnding Story

But I also got captivated a lot by cartoons like Pinky & the Brain, Darkwing Duck or Adventures of the Gummi Bears.

A really big impact had the LOTR trilogy, although this was more in my late childhood to preteens.

TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 274d (1 reply)

One is a genius, the other's insane!

But they never specify which one is which...

I like to throw Pinky & the Brain on in the background sometimes still

Eldaroth@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 274d

Haha nice, just recently threw on the theme song in the office as we have some younglings in the team which never heard of the show!
