Favorite Old Movies

Ok, I was just reading someone else's blog and they were talking about favorite movies when we were younger. I started remembering some of my faves:

My Fair Lady
Sound of Music
Bedknobs & Broomsticks
Grease (totally fell in love w/ John Travolta, even had poster in my room)
Grease 2 (my sis & I watched them both and would sing with them)
Blackbeard's Ghost
Parent Trap (original w/ Haley Mills)
Old Yeller (totally cried as a kid)
Where the Red Fern Grows (cried at this one too)
Fox and the Hound (cried again) <--dang I was a blubbering baby
Flash Gordon (Go, Flash, Go!!!)
Karate Kid
Xanadu
Mystic Pizza
Annie (my sister & I watched this over & over & over, my parents got so sick of it. I see where my kids get it now. ha ha)
Jaws (saw all of them, I think. pretty scary but couldn't stop watching. My dad would always find the perfect time to grab us from behind so we'd scream! ha ha. Now I love doing that to my kids. LOL)
Zorro, the Gay Blade (w/ George Hamilton, ooohh so funny!)
SuperFuzz (Supaa Supaa! ha ha)
Old Disney Classics (animated & not)
Return to Witch Mountain (thought those kids were cool)
The Ten Commandments (w/ Charleton Heston, we'd watch every Easter)
Two of a Kind (love John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John together)
Pretty in Pink
Breakfast Club (thought Judd Nelson was HOT even tho he was grunge in that movie)

Ok, I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting lots of my faves! We love watching movies in our family.

What are some of your faves as a kid?

I remember Goonies being my favorite when I was little.
