I was raised on the Indiana Jones films, as well as classics like Willow, Goonies, Flight Of The Navigator. Then came the Star Wars films

So what films do you remember watching all the time when you were young?

That's responsible

I used to sit on my dad's lap whilst he watched it and he wouldn't let me watch it, but I used to peep in and watch it, and when he knew I wasn't scared by it or was going to get influenced, he allowed me to watch it. I think parents should just use their discession when censoring what their kids watch, like my dad did.

On another note, my new computer just arrived!

Cannonball run and the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner movie.

I bought cannonball the other day on DVD, and am still on the hunt for the other.

I loved the likes of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, The Goonies, excellent movies for all ages.

I used to stay up late and watch Hammer House of Horror movies with my mum and nan on Friday nights whilst my dad and grandad went to the pub. Moved on to modern horror films of the day, mostly stuff with big monsters in rubber suits. Nothing realistic though, I didn't get to see 'Man kills whole Family 3' or anything.

Went through a martial arts stage, watching Bruce Lee movies, and bad movies like No Retreat No Surrender and Best of the Best. Ninja films were cool, like American Ninja, for a while. This kind of lead on to a Jean Claude Van Dam stage. Bloodsport and Kickboxer were cool, so was AWOL, and Death Warrant. Everything after that went to far towards action rather than fighting, and trying to build up the characters. Bah!

I've been watching the likes of Terminator since I was 5, and it's wierd now, because I find out more every time I watch them, because my comprehension was understandably terrible at that age. At 10, I moved onto the horror genre, where I saw Scream. Now, I can just watch whatever I want, as my dad knows that I can stomach it. I had to wait until my sister went to bed to watch Silence of the Lambs on DVD. Grrrr! I've got to go now, but I might be able to get on a school computer, I'll have a look. Bye!
