Did anyone have that movie they watched all the time as kids but it seems that time hasn’t given it the respect it deserves?

I agree.  While the Hobbit cartoon isn't perfect, it's got so much cool stuff going for it.  The creature design is great, especially Gollum and Smaug the dragon.  Apart from the annoying main theme, the songs are actually pretty good.  The story is a bit rushed, but then again it is a kid's cartoon, so it is to be expected.

Yeah, the LOTR cartoon and the ROTK cartoon pretty much suck.

I've been trying to remember what movies I watched a lot as a kid.  Most of them don't qualify as a “forgotten classic”.  I probably watched my VHS copies of Star Wars the most, followed closely by The Princess Bride.  I know that there were a bunch of other movies that I watched, but specifics aren't coming to mind.

……………..

Hold on, I do  remember seeing a ton of old Disney movies like Mary Poppins, The Love Bug, Blackbeard's Ghost, etc.

Was anyone here a fan of a little movie called The Pagemaster?

I watched it once in theaters, but that's it.

I just watched The Goonies again today for the first time cince like, ever. Damn, that movie holds up

As for the lesser picked nostalgia choices… We used to rent The Wizard and Freaky Friaday (original with Jodie Foster) a lot as kids. Newsies, Clash of the Titans, and Grease 2 were beloved. Also loved Iron Will and Hook. The Sandlot too! Oh man, got to see that one in this awesome little one screener with three of my best firends on my birthday that year.

Although, generally I was not really allowed to go to the video store. Chances were if I did I'd come back with Raiders of the Lost Ark or Back to the Future and when I was older Evil Dead. :P

How could I forget Camp Nowhere?! SUCH a silly fun kid's movie. I think I watched it purely for Christopher Lloyd at the time because at that age he was nothing more to me than Doc Brown. (Also Biff has a small part in the movie too) :P I was floored when I realized a very young Alison Mack (Chloe from Smallville) Andrew Keegan (the awesome bad guy in 10 Things I Hate About You) and Jonathan Jackson (now guest on T:SCC as Kyle Reese) were in it!

Another great one that came on Sunday Afternoon Movies was Big Girls Don't Cry… They Get Even. Just found out the guy who played the cool older brother wrote Capote
