Q and A childhood roundup

After last week’s cartoon classic awesomeness, I thought I’d tackle all the movies I remembered watching over and over again while growing up… you know, when I was just a jester in training, as it were.

If you have no idea what’s going on, you should probably start here.

Over the years I’ve incorporated what seems to be an ever increasing absurd amount of movie dialogue into my day-to-day lingo.  This week’s theme, as already discussed, is all relating to movies I loved as a kid.

Oh, who are we kidding, I still love these movies.

A: “Marcus, score us some nacho chips and some radical salsa.”

A: “Miyagi have hope for you..”
– Miyagi (Pat Morita) – Karate Kid

Q: What do you say when someone asks why you are rearranging your house again?
A: “Why? Why, oh I don’t know, ’cause I wanted to redecorate. You know, a couple of throw pillows, a TV news reporter, what do ya think?.”

(Interesting.  Did anyone else see a theme within the theme there?)

How many of these have you seen?  What’s on your list of childhood favorites?

………

Ah, what a lovely trip down memory lane.  I hope some of you respond with the movies you loved as a child.  Do you still watch them when they come on TV?  Do they still mean as much to you now as they did then? Do you know that here there be monsters, and silliness, and memories?  Thanks, as always, for playing along.
