Grease 2, the goonies , rags to riches , dirty dancing, Mr mom..The Toy
The Parent Trap with Hayley Mills (none of that LiLo nonsense for me)! I have that movie memorized.
The Court Jester
Animal House
Dirty Dancing
Loved the music for Eddie and the Cruisers, but the movie not so much.
When I was young and maybe still today channel 11 in NY used to show the original King Kong every Thanksgiving and I watched it often.
Wizard of Oz
I Married a Witch
Cinderella
Hairspray
Return of the Jedi
Edward Scissorhands and Labyrinth
I think Eddie & the Cruisers was ON all the time. On The Dark Side, Oh Yeah..
I second the Hayley Mills' Parent Trap.
I also couldn't get enough of Jaws 3 for some reason.
But the best one:
Legend of Billie Jean, bitches!
'Fayer' is 'fayer'!
Mrs. Doubtfire and Homeward Bound
The Goonies, Thr Neverending Stiry, The Labyrinth, The Rocketeer, and all of the Disney animated movies.
Xanadu
Grease
The Blue Lagoon
Not really "young" but I get sucked into watching Shawshank every time it's on.
Goonies forever!
And of course: Join hearts and hands and voices
My parents recorded "National Lampoons Vacation" off the tv, so it was HEAVILY edited - I'd watch it ALL the time and knew every word. It wasn't until I was much older that I saw the unedited version. I'm shocked they let me watch it!
Ooooh, good one, Tricia! I watched Blue Lagoon all the time, too. Forgot about that one. I laughed my ass off at the part when she threw the coconut at his head while he was making fun of her every.single.time.
Also, Sanfarisco = the best.
Little Nemo
Willy Wonka
Oliver!
Goonies
Blank Check
Pretty Woman...
Princess Bride, Popeye with Robin Williams, everything by Don Knotts, Casablanca
I don't really remember what it was for me (maybe Aladdin? Hocus Pocus?) but for my sister it was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory--that old 1970's version. I can't watch it today because of that.
And of course Princess Bride, I forgot that one.
I had the time of my life
Oh yeah, all of the "Oh, God!" movies (yes, all of them). I worshiped George Burns.
Airplane!, History Of The World Part I.....
Ot neil Patrick Harris finally got Married
The Gods Must Be Crazy.
So many are coming to me now.
-The Parent Trap ( Original )
-The Princess Bride
-Goonies ( wore out my Betamax copy taped off of HBO from watching so much as a kid)
-Wizard of Oz
-Gone With The Wind
Whaa ho ho Who's that guy?

I got Grease 2 every time we went to the video store. That, Airplane and Young Frankenstein.
@Annie Hall Yes on the Oh God movies!!!! They were on all the time in the 80s!!

Teen witch I have seen an embarrassing amount of times starring Blake not so lively sister. .

Loved the skydiving scene.
Cheech & Chong.
Not when mum & dad were home!
National lampoon European vacation
Hey Utah! Gimme 2!
I loved that movie too. It was such a classic and captured a time before Gary Busey threatened to rip people's endocrine system out of their bodies.
HR Puff-n-stuf movie. I wish I were kidding.
Porkys after parents went to bed.
Grease 2, Grease, Blue Lagoon, Endless Love, Summer Rental, Summer Lovers.............
And Splash!
I don't think there's a movie I've seen more times than Just One of the Guys. Wasn't even that crazy about it, it just was on all the damn time back in the day.
@VIP, they really were, especially in the summer.
Ditto on Teen Witch @Sugarbread.
Also, The Worst Witch!!! I freakin' LOVED that movie! I was about 7 years old and even I knew how delicious Tim Curry was at the time.
King Kong
Break a leg Kiki!
Clue! And I still watch whenever it's on.

Yeah and as an awkward teen I loved Lori Petty, not the supermodel type leading lady. But it was mostly Keanu.
He was so beautiful and I couldn't perv on him when he was acting stupid in Bill and Ted. I thought he was smart in Point Blank at the time hahaha.
@Sarah Top That!
@catsup: I too loved Monkey Business AND dunston checks in. Forgot that one ;)
Still can't believe that was Thora Birch
In the early 70s, one of the local TV channels ran movies on Sunday. The following films were in heavy, heavy rotation & between the ages of 12-15, I rarely missed a viewing. I think I ended up "scaring myself straight" without my parents' help. LOL!
Panic In Needle Park (Al Pacino)
Maybe I'll Come Home In The Spring (Sally Field / David Carradine)
Cisco Pike (Kris Kristofferson)
Monterey Pop (Mostly for Jimi Hendrix / Janis Joplin / The Who / The Animals)
Gimme Shelter (The Stones / Tina Turner)
Funny...after looking over this list, I see Woodstock is missing. Don't really know why, but it was never a real favorite of mine. Go figure. O_o
Blasphemy! I forgot to note Tank Girl!!!!
The Goonies, The Hunger, Labyrinth, Basquiet.
Raiders of the Lost Ark. I rented that movie every weekend for 6 months. I think I wore that video store's only tape out. Then I bought my own at Sears for the low price of $29.95!
CAN'T BUY ME LOVE
LOVERBOY (Anchovies please!)

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (was scarey and crazy!)
I actually have all three on my laptop right now for gloomy days.
Yes the 60s musical with Leslie Ann Warren and the soap opera guy only played once a year. Had some heartbreaking and funny moments. Must See TV.
The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of those effing von Trapp kids....
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the only one I can recall watching over and over and I still do.
That and my Mel Gibson film festival with the original dubbed Mad Max.
Clue, The Money Pit, Ruthless People and Down and Out in Beverly Hills. What WAS my mother thinking with the last two?
MONEY PIT!!!
How about Big Business w/ Bette M & Lily Tomlin as twins? I loved that one!
Not so young, but Fifth Element, Gladiator, and Sexy Beast.
When you were young, and your heart was an open book.....
I didn't have a t.v. growing up. It was a no no in the church I grew up in.

Star Wars Trilogy, Ghostbusters, Jumping Jack Flash, Grease, Desperately Seeking Susan, Death Becomes Her...just to name a few.

Live or Let Die!
Yes! My first James Bond movie! I loved Roger Moore as The Saint, so I was in heaven when he took over from Sean Connery.
It also was the first movie I went to with my first "real" boyfriend. Saw the movie during the 6 months I was allowed to go steady w/my parents' permission. I actually went steady with him for 2-1/2 yrs. My parents just didn't know about the extended time. I could be a sneaky shit once in a while. ;-)
*and
Fuk U spelchek!
"Total Recall". My first movie recorded on video, and it has everything: 3boobed ladies, a hot Sharon Stone, Arnold S doing Arnold S things, humour, violence, ugly aliens, more violence, great soundtrack...
This goes way back, but when milliom dollar movie had " Yankee Ddodle Dandy" on, we wld try to see each and every showing. We cld tell u what he started dancing on toward the end! " My mother thanks you, my father thanks you, my sister thanks you..."
The Outsiders, The Goonies and Gremlins. Also loved Ghost Busters.
Night of the Living Dead. For some reason, it was ALWAYS on Creature Features. Maybe that's why I'm such a Walking Dead fan.
Movies that I've always had a really hard time not watching:
The Fugitive (and it's on American tv ALL of the time!)
Jaws
Grease
The Sound of Music
Dressed to Kill
Meet Me in St. Louis
Foul Play
Bye Bye Birdie
Double Indemnity
Most Alfred Hitchcock movies, esp. Notorious & Strangers on a Train

must have sucked growing up as blake lively w/ her original nose and vampire teeth. no wonder she got a new nose and got her teeth filed down and rubber tits as soon as she did.. the little sister of teen witch.. sucks..
Eddie and the Cruisers! Watched that sooo many times.
Also Ghostbusters, Real Genius, Jumpin' Jack Flash, and a few years later it was The Lost Boys and Evil Dead 2... The only one I still watch regularly is Evil Dead.
'Heathers.' Obsessively.
Heathers, of course :) Young Guns, Major League
@Mama Ray - the hubby and I loved Son-In-Law! Rented it many times :-).
OMG...The Court Jester was my moms favorite, hands down. She could recite the vessel with the pessle by heart! :)
Communism is just a red herring...
I had a VHS tape with The Breakfast Club and Candles on it...that got a lot of viewing.
And I'll still watch History of the World Pt. 1 (good call parissucks) and Blazing Saddles anytime they're on.
I appreciate children's films more now than I ever did as a child (The Wizard of Oz, for example, I hated, because I felt sorry for the so-called Wicked Witch and hated Dorothy WHO WAS A THIEF).
I loved the classics. Anything by Preston Sturges, Lubitsch, Hitchcock, Powell & Pressburger, David Lean, Billy Wilder, George Cukor, Howard Hawks, Buster Keaton and the great MGM musicals. I worshiped Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell.
But the most repeat viewings, then as now, were given to two Ealing comedies, The Ladykillers (1955) and Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949).
As a teen I was passionate about post-WWII French and Italian cinema and film noir (yes, I know, I was pretentious).
Grease 1 and 2 (My kids bought them for me one year for my birthday as we all love them lol) They can sing every song just as well as I can and even though I own the dvd's we still will watch them if they come on.
Dirty Dancing- Also own the DVD
Practical Magic
Road House I LOVE Patrick Swayze AND Sam Elliott
Eddie and The Cruisers 1 and 2- Know all the songs and have the record from 1 haha

I don't recall dressing up as anyone, just generically, but Columbia was always my favourite....I'll always watch it if it's on the telly and also 'Shock Treatment' the little know sequel :)
She also snuck me in to see The Life of Brian under her caftan as I was only 7 or 8 years old and not allowed to watch the movie but she couldn't get a babysitter....I loved it!! Still watch it over and over one of the best comedies ever!

I watched Stand by Me at least 5 times per week. #RIP River
Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. I even have the soundtrack (variations from Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini). I understand they have a yearly get-together at the hotel, period costumes and all.
