What grown up film did you love as a kid. My family went and saw "Midway" at the local

repertory theatre when I was about 10. I love, love, loved that film (plus my dad was a military buff so we were all already primed to love such a film). I saw it again on the tv as an adult and was not so impressed. I found it so violent. And I wonder why I didn't when I was a kid.

1. South Pacific - we knew ALL the songs

We knew the music more than the movie because Mom had the soundtrack album.

Mom was Navy Nurse in the Pacific in WWII and met Dad in Hawaii, so she had a bit of an affinity with the movie.

Since we only saw the movie once as kids, we didn't get the racist aspects of it. When it was re-released a few years ago I saw it and was surprised at the plot in the original and in the re-make.

2. Angels With Dirty Faces.

3. The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming!

My folks took me to see it when I was 10 and I loved it. 46 years later I watched it again, and it was just as funny as I remembered it.

4. The Lion in Winter

I don't actually remember this, but there is a family story about when I was five I was at the public library with my Mom and when it was time to go she couldn't find me anywhere, she finally found me in this side room watching "The Lion in Winter" with a group of senior citizens. The senior citizens were amused I was there.

I do remember liking Peter O'Toole a lot as a kid, I saw him first (that I remember) in the TV miniseries "Masada".

8. 'It's a mad mad mad mad mad world'

First time I ever saw it was watching it with my parents when I was about 8 or 9, on TV. We were all cackling like goons.

9. That's the first one that came to my mind too!

I too saw it first on TV (in glorious black & white) since I was a newborn when it came out.
