Mission Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 I came across this list for 15 Movies from Your Childhood to Re-watch with Your Kids and thought it was interesting that three of them are (more or less) pirate movies. Maybe four. Han is something of a pirate after all... Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Hawkyns Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Hmmm..... The first grown up, full length movie I saw was Zulu. I was 8. This may explain some things....... Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.
madPete Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 That's a great list! I haven't seen two of them, so my childhood will never be complete. mP Aye... Plunder Awaits!
Capn Bob Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 But...none of them are from *my* childhood! So here's a couple I remember seeing in me own younger years: "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" (saw it on base theater in Germany, so I did...) "Ghidrah, the Three Headed Monster" (saw that one on base at Fort Knox...) Damn, thats sharp!

Jas. Hook Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Hmmm..... The first grown up, full length movie I saw was Zulu. I was 8. This may explain some things....... Hawkyns Hmmmm... Zulu, a great Michael Caine flick. Make mine, The Vikings (1958) with Borgnine, Douglas, Curtis and Leigh. Jas Hook "Born on an island, live on an island... the sea has always been in my blood." Jas.

Red-Handed Jill Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 From childhood? Except for two of them, they mostly occurred during my adulthood - methinks this is aimed at a younger crowd... Nice that there were so many pirate movies for the young 'uns! My childhood was filled with the James Bond movies (the Sean Connery ones.) Oh, and the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns. And Night of the Living Dead (gotta love Creature Features!)
Capn Bob Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I never saw "Night of the Living Dead", but I remember seeing "The Thing That Wouldn't Die"...ye might call it the "Night of the Living Head" movie...

LadyBarbossa Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Ahhh, forget th' list. We should make our own list. I know m' neices and nephew enjoy "The Goonies" and would watch it over and over and over. It's one fun adventure that will never grow old. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
