10 Favorite Movies from My Childhood

    

1. Born Free - Just thinking about this movie has that damn song stuck in my head.
2. Run Wild, Run Free - Little girls love horses. My mom took me to see this the day after I got my first puppy; I was 5. I remember that when my dad came to pick us up at the movie theater, he brought the dog with him, but by the time he got to the theater, she had thrown up in the car. Boy was he pissed off!
3. Planet of the Apes - The first "Owl Show" (a very late movie), I was ever allowed to go to!
4. Wizard of Oz - Those stupid monkeys still scare me.
5. Star Wars - Who didn't want to be Princess Leia? I still have little Yodas on my desk! “Do or do not... there is no try.”
6. The Black Stallion - Another horse flick. Walter Farley was my favorite author and I still have the letter he wrote back to me when I was 10.
7. Monty Python and the Holy Grail - "They turned me into a newt, but I got better!" and many more quotes that have infiltrated our society.
8. Sleuth - What acting! I couldn't believe there were only two actors when I saw it the first time.
9. Black Beauty - Yet another horse flick.
10. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot- I saw this movie with my parents and really the only thing I remember is my mother throwing her hands over my eyes when the naked woman came to the window. It's a childhood memory more so than a favorite movie.

I was never much into horse movies, and I found Planet of the Apes creepy. But I remember loving Thunderbolt & Lightfoot even though I don't remember the naked lady. You'd think I'd remember that. But the scene in the old schoolhouse is etched in my memory.
