Thinking about it, Betamax vs VHS was a real thing, for a long time…. Like Ford vs Chevy, Walmart vs Target, Jeopardy vs Wheel .. i am firmly Team Jeopardy on that one, and always will be…. Crazy that none of those other ‘wars’ resulted in the complete obliteration of the loser.
 
Like most of us, I could talk about 100 movies right now that we all grew up with and loved. But when I think of obscure movies, or ones that don't get brought up that much, these are the ones I think about.

Summer School
Project X
Toy Soldiers
Muppets Take Manhattan
The Dirt Bike Kid
The Rescue
The Money Pit

Everyone remembers Neverending Story, but I am looking for favorites that I either didn't see or have forgotten about

This got brought on because I saw that Explorers with Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix is on Prime Video and I am watching it right now

This is a good one. Young Courtney Thorne-Smith 😍

Love my dogs, but I was always a little grossed out when Mark Harmon licked the peanut-butter spoon after his dog ate some.

I think the first movie I saw in a theater was 101 Dalmations.

Wow that’s actually my first. Mom brought me to a double feature of 101D and one of the Jody Foster movies - maybe Freaky Friday but feels like it was something else.

and that was the only double feature i ever went to. Think they became not a thing after that.
 
The first movies I remember seeing were The Nutty Professor and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. We grew up on Disney movies and whatever was being shown on TV at the time. Mom and Dad never missed a James Bond flick and if they couldn't get a sitter my sister and I would go too.

@SystemShock mentioned The Wonderful World of Disney. I couldn't get enough of that. It was when Dad first told me about Imagineers.

Def. remember The Betamax Wars. A couple years later were the New Coke vs. Classic Coke wars. If there is a hell and I go to it, it's gonna be the '80s.
 
None of you born in the early '70s are gonna say Fast Times at Ridgemount High?

Early 70s baby here, i never saw Fast times since it was rated R, and i was only 8 or 9 when it came out.. same with Porkys, which i remember desperately wanting to see.. i think Revenge of the Nerds might have been R rated too(?) Not that i *never* snuck peeks at R rated flicks, just for some reason i never saw the ones i really wanted to see the most.


All i can say is thank the good lawd that PG13 became a thing right around the time i hit that age, otherwise there are a slew of other films i woulda missed.
