Didn’t see a thread like this.

For me, well, there’s one movie called Space Chimps. I watched it when I was 5-6 and I think I loved it back then. I think it’s one of those movies that is so bad it’s good based on what I remember and what I looked up, but I want to watch this one again
 
Murder She Purred and Homeward Bound. I used to love watching animal movies and these were my absolute favorites.These are great go to's when I want to feel the nostalgia bug!
 
Disney's Dinosaur, The Neverending Story, Babe: Pig in the City, The Lion King (1&2), Shrek 2, Toy Story 2, Stuart Little (1&2), and The Land Before Time (and it's sequals all the way up to The Great Migration) are all very nostalgic movie too me. They bring back so many memories when I watch them.
 
A lot of the films I watched as a kid really bring me back. Spice World is one I adored because I was a huge Spice Girls fan when I was little. I also loved Disney movies, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the princess movies like Cinderella or Snow White. I would always belt out villain songs too.
 
I haven't seen this movie in years, but I watched All Dogs Go To Heaven a few days ago by renting it on YouTube. I actually felt more sad watching it now than I did as a child, now knowing what happened to Judith Barsi. I'm not the biggest Don Bluth fan, but this movie is probably my favorite of his. It's not a masterpiece, but it's fun, and I remembering it being fun when I was younger, so that's pretty much all that matters.

Space Jam is another movie I love watching that brings me down to memory lane. My parents took me to see this movie for my 10th birthday, so I just can't help but look back at those memories when I watch this movie.

Well, the first movie I think of is always this danish, animated movie. It's called Jungeldyret Hugo, and I can't find an english name for it. I watched the norwegian dub myself, and then years later I found out it had an english one (although it was super disappointing hah).

There's also a bunch of Disney movies like Bambi, Oliver and Co, even Bolt.
 
Tarzan the Disney version, that's when I started liking Phil Collins I think. The Power Ranger's movie, Star Wars episode 1, Lion King 1&2, The Incredibles, X-Men 1-3, The World's Strongest, Endless Waltz, Sailor Moon Super S I think it was...? History of Trunks, Tree of Might, Rugrats in Paris, Charlie Brown Christmas, Transformers to name a few.
 
The Lion King.

As time goes on the list of films that makes me feel nostalgic grows (honorable shout-outs go to the original Land Before Time, the original Star Wars trilogy, Space Jam, LotR, Harry Potter, and Dragonheart, if only for the ending set to Randy Edelman's stunning "To The Stars"), but this one gets a special mention for influencing my username. It's not without its problems, but that cinematography, that score... "This Land" and "...To Die For" both fill me with a swell of emotions (damn you, Hans Zimmer! damn you and your talented ways!) And that's not even getting into the soundtrack (despite being my namesake, "Hakuna Matata" isn't my favorite on the list; that distinction goes to "The Circle of Life.")

Bit of gushing/rambling below the cut:
Rewatching the film later on in life, I couldn't believe how short this scene actually was because how much it stood out in my memory (probably because I was still traumatized by Mufasa's death and always will be)

I think I remember hearing somewhere that this was the scene that made the movie crew think "we really have something here" (because while in production working on this film was seen as playing second fiddle to working on Pocahontas, which is retroactively ironic given the box office totals of each film) and I have to agree because to this day it gives me chills. Again, the cinematography, the score, James Earl Jones' iconic voice, it all comes together flawlessly.


tl;dr I may or may not hold quite a bit of fondness for this film.
 
Well, I've watched way over three hundred movies during my lifetime and a chunk of that was during my childhood. I have so many, but I guess...

Shrek 2 - I'd like to express a similarity between myself and Carl.
The King and I - This gets me every time. Its a masterpiece above anything else, and I remember watching it when I was four years old... wow. Amazing.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - Grew up with it, and it is amazing. But don't judge me or cast doubt over my natural machismo. If you've got women in the house, you're going to watch all sorts of female-oriented shows.
Star Wars - having Tonsillitis and watching them for the first time... Mark Hamill saved me.
Lion King - I was always Ed. Guess why.
Lilo and Stitch - I have a lot in common with that guy...
Karate Kid - Aunt's boyfriend showed it to me. This is why I love martial arts.
Spirited Away - I used to adore the shrunken heads. Oi. Oi. Oi... And the fat baby, but that's because I used to be a horrible four-year-old who could to other horrible children.

There are thousands of others, so I'll probably be editing the list.
 
thought of another one.
the first baby genisues get shit on like it's sequels, but I feel it's the only one that is worth watching because of nostalgia. it very may well be just as bad as they say upon rewatch, but it still holds a place in my 4 year old heart.
 
3 main films, long time favorite of mine since I first saw them, since I got into metal in 2001 I learn to love the films even more
they are:

Detroit Rock City
Wayne's World
Dumb and Dumber
 
Space Jam! A lot of Disney too, but mostly Space Jam and that one Tom & Jerry movie I can't remember the name of...
 
The ones I rewatched endlessly as a preteen: Shrek 2, Spider-Man 2, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Peter Pan (the 2003 live-action one). And Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first movie I ever watched.
 
Digimon the Movie. Naturally there's a great number of movies I watched as a kid that have nostalgic value to me, but this is the biggest. I watched it all the time as a kid. I'll stand by my opinion that Digimon dubs are terrible, but this movie. This freakin' movie, is the exception to that rule.
