Dude, what is it with dads making their daughters watch Das Boot during those tender, pre- Jr. High years?

the first movie I remember thinking “THAT IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE, EVER!!!”: Watership Down, which came out in 1978 so I was 5 years old. BUNNIES OMG.

¿Anybody else only remember “TO THE LEE OF THE STONE”(?!?) from “Secret of NIMH”?
Watched it again & realized WE WERE COLLECTIVELY COMMANDED AS A GENERATION TO REMEMBER THAT. by a terrifying owl, no less.

I still don’t think I’ve managed a whole no-terror viewing of ET.

I first saw ET while living in Germany, where it was dubbed rather than subtitled. I have to say, the famous line lost a little something upon becoming “ET nach Hause telefonieren.”

ET was the first movie to terrify me. When first his squeal is uttered, I crawled behind my mama and the car seat (drive-in). I guess by the time I felt brave enough to look back, he was all sick and white in the ditch. They really do a lot of violence to this already scary humanoid, I don’t know why this is considered a childhood favorite.
