But Star Wars for me

We watched labyrinth the other day with my 4yr old. She was a bit unsure of it.

Star Wars original trilogy
The Dark Crystal
The Goonies
Willow
Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II
Flash Gordon
Flight of the Navigator
Short Circuit Batteries Not Included
The Lord of the Rings (animated version)
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (animated version)

I also love Labyrinth and The Princess Bride, but didn't see them until I was in my late 20s. :/ I also loved They Live, Universal Soldier, Aliens and Predator, but that was illegal under-age viewing! 😛

Neverending Story
Labyrinth

Transformers: The Movie maybe, it was fab (for the brat-pack fans it had Judd Nelson, for the Citizen Kane fans it had Orson Welles)

Star Wars always felt like an event, loved it but never had it on video so having to wait til it was on TV made it feel more special I think.

Starwars

We watched it as kids at our local Odeon, we ended up watching it twice by hiding at the back and waiting for it to play again.

There were about 10-15 kids who did the same and there was quite a bit of seat sharing going on 😉
