Childhood Movie You Still Love - Page 5

The very first movie I remember ever having been taken to was Walt Disney's "Song of the South".

Although I know the sordid and in my opinion tragic connections to the awful stereotypes that it contained, the actors were really charming and the photography was pretty hip for the period just after WW2.

James Baskett's is the only voice I ever hear when I hear Zippity doo dah.

Any Disney movie, but 101 Dalmations in animation. Love that one.

Loved Journey to the Center of the Earth (with Pat Boone) even the remake was good.

Ray Harryhousen movies. Like Eye of the Tiger.

The first Mighty Joe Young

I must add Tom Sawyer, with Becky who was a red haired girl. Victor Jory was Injun Joe.

The Nine Lives of Tomasina!!
Same kids who were in Mary Poppins.
We even named our family dog Tomasina. 😍
It's available to watch on youtube these days, and my grandkids love it too.

Wow I went to PS 70 in the Bronx, which was Monroe Ave and East 174th street

At a Christmas school assembly in the Bronx (PS 71) I saw Miracle on 34th Street for the first time - became an instant favorite which I watch to this day, decades later.

Will always be my favorite.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

P S 71 (now know as the Rose Scala School) was on Roberts Avenue - as a 7 year old, I crossed Bruckner Blvd everyday - walked past our Church, Our Lady of Assumption, to the public school. We lived right by Pelham Bay Park.

All good memories.

Growing up, we went to very few movies as a family. I remember going a couple of times with another family and we went to a drive-in theater but I don't remember what we saw. The first movie that popped in my head was The Parent Trap. Of course, the first time I saw it was on TV. I rarely see the original anymore as any time I see it on TV, it's the remake with Lindsay Lohan (which is just "OK").

The original Dumbo was my favorite. I think I first saw it in the mid 60s. Hard to believe that it was released in 1941!!! I still cry when I watch it.
