For me it was Titan AE, Treasure planet, FF spirits within, chronicles of riddick and pitch black and iRobot

This means I'm cool.

I also watched a lot of Cars but only cos my brother liked it.

There's this shitty horror movie about giant spiders called "eight legged freaks", when I was a little one spiders were my special interest so my parents plonked me down in front of it one stormy day and I just kept rewatching it.

Also early Red Dwarf (I've an embarrassing memory from my childhood of watching Polymorph getting to the bit where Rimmer complains about the name he's created for the protest group "on the other hand the abbreviation is CLITORIS", completely missing the joke, and assuming that clitoris meant cluttered and awkward and using it that way at school the next day).

And for some reason, the film remakes of the Dr Who serials "Dr Who and the Daleks" and "Daleks' invasion of Earth 2150 AD".

Did you ever watch arachnophobia? I remember really liking that movie

[-] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I remember watching it once or twice as a child, but I didn't, like, play it on a loop like eight legged freaks.

I remember my grandparents had a vhs recording of an hour long loony tunes skit movie.

They also had Disney's robin hood.

The land before time 1 and 2 back at my parents place.

One of my friends gave me a 3 disc rip of the matrix reloaded, and the middle disc started at the burly brawl and ended after the car chase. That got a lot of play

Total Recall (1990). My folks were kinda negligent

It's a great family movie. Exciting and action-packed, but not violent. There's no on-screen deaths. And there's an amazing happy ending that feels earned.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

My parents are Trekkies and had all the 80s movies on VHS, the whole collection together looks like the Enterprise. Pretty cool.

Had a lot of old vhs's so a ton of the og star wars, animated hobbit, original willy wonka. I also watched the shit outta chronicles of riddick/pitch black/irobot, so even tho the movies are probably kinda poopoo in retrospect, your cool status is confirmed comfy-cool

[-] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

VHS's I watched countless, countless times at my grandma's house: Jurassic Park (Funny in hindsight considering how violent that movie can be), Small Soldiers, Air Bud, this one Ren and Stimpy/Donald Duck shorts/Pokemon tape (Separate ones), a litany of typical Disney movies (Lion King. Aladdin, Little Mermaid) and not-so-typical ones (The 3 Caballeros, The Aristocats, The Rescuers), the old 70s Charlotte's Web, Grease, Spice World, The Mask, Brave Little Toaster, this one animated Little Engine That Could tv movie, to name a few lol

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Ah shit small soldiers! I completely forgot about that one. Kicked off my obsession with toy based media leading to me playing all the army men games.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Sad to feel like 'dont look up' does it so much better now.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Look Who's Talking

the movie with Bruce Willis doing voices for a baby's thoughts. Kristie Alley, John Travolta, Olympia Dukakis, Abe Vigoda.

straight up, I could open a notepad doc and type up like 75% of the screenplay cold.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

VHS copy of The Three Amigos. But taped from a TV broadcast (we skipped most of the ads, but weird sections were missing because of editing and length).

[-] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

The ol' strategy of pausing the recording during ads, which pretty much always led to missing some of the movie too.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

The Mask, and I turned out just fine

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

My parents bought a VHS of My Neighbour Totoro, I loved that shit

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Wallace and Gromit night of the were-rabbit, i really liked it

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Wallace and gromit movies are peak. Reminded me of chicken run lmao

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

That one was animated by aardman animations same studio that made wallace and gromit, and funded by dreamworks

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Can't have anything good like that anymore because of WOKE

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

There is a new wallace & gromit movie coming out soon

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Star wars movies, especially 4 and 6 (this was before the prequels) 6 more because my sister loved seeing Jabba die (she associated him to my father which is probably something) and the ewoks.

And Disney movies, especially little mermaid, and Bambi, and Aladdin. Edit, and the original TMNT movie which I missed all dark overtones and just liked the turtles being bros and didn't get the second movie but I did totally get the third and it was radical. Also I may have a profound attraction to women in yellow jumpsuits holding microphones... Do not look into this.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Gremlins 1 & 2, Ghostbusters 1 & 2, a bunch of 90s Disney movies and some more obscure stuff because we didn't have that many VHS movies. Anyone remember that there was a Jetsons movie made around 1990? Yeah, we had that.

Oh yeah, original Star Wars trilogy too, first the original versions recorded off TV, then retail VHSs of the CGI crap special editions.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Gremlins caused me deep fear.

The Land Before Time was my fucking jam

Veggietales on VHS was on rotation on my house a lot. From time to time, Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000) was also on, a fever-dream of a film that has a coked-out Alec Baldwin, a too-depressed Peter Fonda, and an in-her-prime Mara Wilson. I watched a lot of Cars as well when that came out.

I also watched The Brave Little Toaster a bunch whenever I went to my grandma's house, at the same age when I enjoyed Barney. That probably explains my distrust of clowns and messed me up a little.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I was around when the VHS to DVD transition happened, I remember Blockbuster and small-time movie rental places, and then as I got older I remember when Netflix came in the mail chomsky-yes-honey . My family would get The Next Generation on DVD and it's kind of incredible just how little information was on those things, just 3-4 episodes of prime TNG in standard definition.

Fukin love thomas the tank engine, worms its way in my brain its so friendly yet so uncanny.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

All the 80s Disney Movies and a bunch of other stuff my parents recorded off TV like holiday specials and things. Top of the list tho: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze. Had that shit memorized. It was my Shrek.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I fondly remember Tremors always being on TV. Didn't matter where I started, I would often watch until the end.

The pirate movie

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

i think we had tapes of 101 dalmatians, vuk and a lot of old tom and jerry episodes, and that was about it, so that's what i watched on a loop.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)
