We used to watch Wizard of Oz every year when I was growing up. Those flying monkeys gave me nightmares.

I was born in the early 70’s so, yea, much of what you guys posted, but here are a few that I think were left out that made a big impression on me as a kid-

Clash of the Titans
the Sinbad movies…
Jason and the Argonauts

Those all had the Ray Harryhausen Claymation or “Dynamation” and other special effects that I liked well into the 80’s. The Skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are still awesome to watch today, s~~~, any of the Harryhausen stuff is great. I actually still prefer what they did back in the 60’s to 80’s special effects wise over CGI of today, it is much more artistic and impressive.

1963 Jason and the Argonauts

1974 The Golden Voyage of Sinbad

Some random stuff that I don’t think was listed-

Buckaroo Banzai
Logan’s Run
A Clockwork Orange
Omega Man
Red Dawn
Rollerball (1975)

All the Romero Zombie movies…

Hey Duke? Any reason why you didn’t put all of that in one post?

Each film came to me slowly while I was getting changed to go training.

Sorry for the multiple posts.

OK, I’m a friendly green dragon so I liked “The Never Ending Story”. I remember watching it as a young adult and loving it thinking I would show it to my child when one comes along. As it turns out, my son wasn’t so turned on by it so it remained my fav but he could take it or leave it.

#icethemout; Remember Thomas Ball. He died for your children.

[Bastisimo1Participant 423]

All the spaghetti westerns
The Exorcist
The Thing
Dambusters
Terminator
Mad Max first two only
Highlander – liked as a teenager but watched it recently and a pile of turd really but harmless fun

Omen
Outlaw Josie Wales

Funny thing is I just don’t watch films anymore although Dunkirk may tempt me back

And men are deploying the most devastating weapon of all – indifference. In this final battle who cares least wins.
