Thumbs up Movies you never outgrew?

So I was making a list of DVDs I want to purchase and several of them are movies from my youth that are geared toward kids - but I still love them!

What are some of the movies you saw as a kid and never grew out of/still enjoy?

My list:

The Parent Trap
Mary Poppins
Cloak and Dagger
Flight of the Navigator
Newsies
The Great Muppet Caper
Muppets Take Manhattan
Muppet Movie
Muppet Christmas Carol
Free Willy

These are movies I either own and watch or will soon own - I just enjoy them

The Wizard of Oz
The Goonies
Mary Poppins
Beetlejuice
Dirty Dancing
Home Alone
I'd love to see Pippy Longstockings again. Haven't seen that one in YEARS!

I know some of these movies came out when the majority of you were teens and 20's, but I was born in 1984, so I was just a babe.

My main favorites from my youth are Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, the 80s Pippi Longstocking, Newsies, and Dirty Dancing.

Also, movies I feel I shouldn't love but do (with every fiber of my being) include Clueless, You've Got Mail, Legally Blonde, and Ever After.
