[MarvelFan]

Robocop 2 (I remember first time I ever seeing any major Hollywood movie was this movie when my parents rent this movie on Laser Disc at home...I still remember the awe when Robocop first appear in the flame amidst his car getting blown up haha)

Jurassic Park (My first ever theater experience when my parents also brought me to watch this...it was truly magic)

Rurouni Kenshin Tsuioku-hen (1999) & Slam Dunk (1995)
(First two titles that made me into a manga and anime)


And not a movie but a show that truly define me until today is perhaps Sharivan (1983)...it is made and aired 5 years before I was born but when I first watched it...i have been inspired since then and and until now...he is truly remains my number one superhero.

 

[Drizzle]

If I have to pick just three, these were probably the ones in heaviest rotation on the VCR:

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Hands down, Home Alone.

It's unhealthy how many times I watched that damn movie.

 

[Kane52630]

You're only a true 90s kid if you know this song.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Not even gonna sit up here and front, but if you're of a certain calibur of 90's kid, then you remember the pop this got in the theaters:



Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie was cool for me.

 

[Kane52630]

I just pretend it's Jason and not stupid ass Rocky.

 

[Drizzle]

You're only a true 90s kid if you know this song.

One of the most underrated kids' movies of the '90s.

Not even gonna sit up here and front, but if you're of a certain calibur of 90's kid, then you remember the pop this got in the theaters:



Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie was cool for me.

That was my summer movie of '95. I watched it opening weekend and a few weeks later I was given the choice to either see it again or watch Batman Forever. I picked MMPR again and waited until Batman Forever was on video to watch that one. The Power Rangers movie was a huge deal.

I just pretend it's Jason and not stupid ass Rocky.

Ah, Rocky. The blank slate of the team. At least during the MMPR years. I can't really blame him since it was more on the writers and producers because once Jason left, nothing was going to stand in the way of Tommy being the leader.

 

[Pennywise]

I loved movies with Schwarzenegger before I could even speak, so my mom got her hands on every movie with him on VHS and DVD! Even wanted him to be my father when I was little, lol

 

[Kane52630]

I still to this day remember watching Jingle All The Way for the first time in 1st grade during PE. (and Flubber in 2nd grade)

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

This thread really has me reminiscing. This movie is was a childhood staple too:

Not ashamed to admit that Jessica Rabbit was a crush lol

 

[Pennywise]

Other movies that influenced my childhood:










Had to really beg my mother to let me watch the Godfather Trilogy on VHS, until she relented finally when I was five or six. One of the most memorable experiences, even if I couldn’t understand a lot until I was much older.

 

[Drizzle]

I still to this day remember watching Jingle All The Way for the first time in 1st grade during PE. (and Flubber in 2nd grade)

This line cracked me up as an 8 year old and it remains my favorite Arnold line to this day:

 

[Pennywise]

My favourite line from Jingle All The Way.

 

[Batgirl0202]

I was born in 1992 so I guess I'm weird because many of the films that informed my childhood were released before I was even born or shortly thereafter:

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Hard to pick just 3 but this would be it:

Just on viewings alone these were watched more than anything else. I wore out the VHS tapes endlessly. I was obsessed with them.

After that there's Ghostbusters, T2, Superman '78, Batman '89, TMNT '90, Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc.

 

[The Shape]

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

Robocop, The Lost Boys, Batman
