What children’s movies are far below your level of maturity and intelligence, and of which you shouldn’t lower yourself to enjoying, and yet when they come on TV you can’t help but watching? What are you guilty pleasures of kid’s flicks?
The Emperor’s New Groove is easily one of the stupidest Disney theatrical release, but I still end up watching it everytime I surf across it. My extremely flimsy excuse is that Kronk (Patrick Warburton) has a few extreme Brock Sampson moments. And David Spade & John Goodman are a surprisingly entertaining comedic duo.
I’ll second, third, and fourth The Goonies. Utterly silly, but good grief, that movie rocks.
Other votes go to: Explorers The Bad News Bears (the original version) The Black Stallion Time Bandits (As a kid, I didn’t appreciate how this movie was just filled with great quotes. Now, as an adult, I do. Underrated flick, actually.) The Neverending Story (although I prefer the book on which it is based)
Not that I see it coming on TV often… or at all… but…
The Land Before Time
Specifically, that’s the first one, not the plethora of straight to video sequels.
Saddens me to read the “Date of Death” details on IMDB, though, for the little girl who voiced Duckie.
“Yup yup yup!”
Also fond of The Neverending Story (again, the first, not the sequels).
She died at age 10 before the movie was even released. (In the sequels, somebody else voices Ducky). That was my favorite character in that movie.
According to IMDB: “Shot to death along with her mother at a tender age of 10 by her father, who then shot himself to death.” (It has a more detailed version of the story under her bio now).
People are ashamed to like The Goonies, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, The Parent Trap, Emperor’s New Groove, The Bad News Bears (the original version), The Black Stallion, Time Bandits, The Neverending Story, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp and The Princess Diaries? I see no shame whatsoever in liking those movies.
Oops, didn’t stick quite literally to the thread title. Not ashamed to like the two I listed. Now if I claimed to like the non-existent sequels to Neverending Story, then I would be very ashamed indeed.
