Sure, back in the day we had fond memories of going to the arcades and "PWN'ing" (Back in the day it was called "Kicking @$$", none of these akronyms or l33t-speak)

But if Arcades were the Peanut Butter, then surely Movie Theatres were the Jelly! Heck, half the Arcades I went to were in Movie Theatres.

What movies do you remember during your "Life before the Shackles of Reality set in" time in your life?

I have a few I fondly remember:

Dark Crystal (Just watched this again last night)
Laybrinth
Neverending Story (Embarrased to admit that one)
Last Starfighter
Nightmare on Elm Street

Have at it!


Lewis Black:

Tron
Star Wars
ET (Blech)

Ah yes, Tron!

Star wars goes without saying.

ET..... I have a funny story about that one:

My mom took me and my 3 siblings to see ET at the Drive In, well, Batman was also playing that night on the screen behind us (My mom thought it was too violent and wouldn't let us see it) so through the entire ET feature I was the only one in the car with my head looking out the back windshield, I didn't mind the lack of sound, the action was worth it.

although I was pretty young in the 80's being born in 83 I still have alot of found memories, but my favorite movie has to be the Goonies

How about Star Trek II?  Extra points because of the footage used in (I think) Astron Belt.
