Childhood Nostalgia

By: Brad S.

These are the films that take me back in time. They range from great to awful, but this list is a little like a photo album of my 6th – 13th year.

A note on the horror films: I was pretty freaked out by the commercials for these at a young age and did not see them until years later. Of course, I ended up enjoying most of them and now look fondly back at the boogie man in the closet days. Other “R” rated stuff from before 1980 are included due to anticipation as opposed to actual seeing at the time.

Thanks Max! I would have been 9 when More American Graffiti came out and I started paying attention to movie ads and commercials at 8. I was probably vaguely aware that it was a sequel, but I don't think the original Graffiti got on my radar until a number of years later.

Really nice list, but I wanted to ask - how come you only have the sequel to American Graffiti here?

Imagine you're nine and run into a picture of that dwarf/child in mid-scream. That's an image that stays with you.
