Really??! That is just so very cool. I've never in my life met a guy who liked Anne. That was one I should have mentioned at the top of my list.

Animals of Farthing Wood ;_;


I watched Anne of Green Gables through like twice when I was seventeen. It is nice to be able to find kindred spirits.

I definitely identified with Anne Shirley when I was a kid. I watched it again recently, and still saw a lot of myself in her; her imagination, her awkwardness and absentmindedness, her ability to see the good in everyone and not to judge. What type was she do you think? INFP?

Yep. That's the consensus I believe. It makes sense to me because I love her character and identify with it, but there are definite differences between how she thought and behaved and how I do. I've read all eight books in the Anne series.

I've never read the books, perhaps I should give them a try. I notice the same differences. I was not quite her, but I could see elements of myself in her.

 

[Gaminegirlie]

JAWS! :laughing:

I'm watching it right now

 

[Vonlenska]

The Neverending Story. :3

 

[The Vizier]

The Labyrinth...I still remember the time when I liked muppets... *shudders*

 

[Dalien]

My most absolute favorite & still is: Mary Poppins

The Secret Garden

James Bond: Diamonds Are Forever~~In my early teens by best girlfriend & I went to the movies & sat through this twice back in the day when you didn't get kicked out for doing so! :laughing:

The Aristocats
The Sound of Music
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Oklahoma

I saw Jaws at the movie theator when it first came out. It scared the heck out of me! :laughing:

 

[HorribleAesthete]

Seeing Jaws as a child scarred me (and scared me). I still get freaked out when I swim in the ocean.

 

[Cauliflower]

The beauty and the beast...which I love until now...

Also, an unusual choice is Blow Up, I wasn't suppose to see that so young, but my parents went to sleep early and left me all alone with the tv. It was nothing like I've ever seen, I never saw a movie that has it's own pase before...my taste is still that eclectic ...

 

[Gildar]

lets see

Disney's Aladdin: I wonder if i was the only boy in the theater more interested about his and jasmine relationship than anything else(and i was 7 at the time i thought) and how unfair it is that she can't marry Aladdin.

Princess bride: was hilarious, very corny but in such a good way, and remember "never make a bet with a Sicilian when death is on the line"

Teenage mutant ninja turtles I&II because violence was more then normal and Leonardo is one of my childhood role-models.

Ghost Busters I&II because i thought the it was cool but i don't know why really then but i know why now because it's so corny.
