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! 😛

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 😉

Thoroughly enjoying this thread. After some reminisce, not a movie but still good. Dempsey and Makepeace followed closely by moonlighting.

Oh, and red dwarf.

And what was that comedy 'thats you that is!'

My brother(44) and myself(36) have been known on the occasions when we can tolerate each other can recite almost every word of the Goonies.
When we were kids it used to drive our poor mother totally mad.
