Noodle... I would kill for an autographed copy of the original Black Stallion. Unfortunately, we couldn't afford to buy the books, but I read (and re-read and re-read) every one the library had. I was a young adult when the movie came out. In the movie, when Coppola cut away from the big match race back to when Alec was riding the Black on the beach, I could have easily done him physical harm. The most intense part of the movie & he pulled that artistic shit? I glanced over right then at my wife's (then gf) young brother, who we'd brought with us. He was looking at me wide-eyed. I was literally sitting on the edge of my seat, leaning forward, breathing hard. MY kids love the movie (and books).
The Princess Bride, although again I was an adult when it came out.
The original Disney 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (first movie I ever saw in a theatre, in a re-release).
And the greatest movie of all time, still the reigning champion:
MARY POPPINS
