By the way... the first movie I have seen in cinema was Pocahontas.

(At least it's the one I really remember...)

The Lion King was by far one of my favorites!
Ferngully also scores quite high in this ranking

(it's from Fox, but still a Disney worthy movie

)
Aladdin & Pocahontas are also in the list!
(we owned these on vid, so I know them better than the ones I only saw in cinema

)

First cinema film was Beauty and the Beast I think

have you seen Radio Flyer? I saw that on HBO.

radio flyer is about two young brothers about 8-9 years old starring Elijah wood from lord of the rings and Joseph Mozello, they are abused by thier parents and they make a plan for a great escape. if you have the chance you can catch it on HBO, very heart warming movie!

Thanks for your recommendation! So I'll see whether I can get somewhere "Radio Flyer"... ;-)

So far I haven't seen Cinderella... but Ithink I had an old cassette in my childhood which I listened one time.

Hm okay.. so I'll also give The Sounds of Music a shot.

Edit: Now I watched "Radio Flyer" and it's such a great story... really impressive - the dream of every boy perhaps? At least to fly was also for me in the childhood a very thrilling thought, but I didn't try to create an airplane by my own.

I've just seen Forrest Gump and this movie is just great... what a story and how thrilling! I guess you've seen that movie too a couple of times? If you didn't just do - that's a film you really should watch one time... haha

the same point of us is Home alone ?

kk Me, too.

I really liked "Home alone(1,2)" but 3 & 4 case were not interesting well

Macaulay Culkin, Kevin in the movie, was sosososososos cute. kkkk

specially the scene using father's lotion(toner?) was so funny

.

and 'Beauty and beast' was also one of my favorite movie.

I love belle. maybe from that time,i think i also started reading a book .....(just may...be kkk)

Today I stumbled upon the soundtrack from "Land before Time"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMD5nzSSOMU

Which reminded me, This was also one of my favorite childhood movies! Always watched in German, because we recorded it from TV, that fact never bothered me, because I was used to that film in German

Oh good one!! I have seen this movie so many times (we recorded it on VHS). I'd like to watch it again... I guess the old feelings would come up again...haha I'm just wondering. Thanks for sharing the soundtrack - I feel young again (just kidding haha).
