Default Obscure films you loved as a kid

Everyone's got one or two, a film you used to love as a kid but have forgotten until you suddenly remember it and spend ages trying to find out what it's called so that you can find it on DVD if you're lucky as it's not seemingly available anywhere.

Mine's Rock & Rule which is like a cartoon from the 80's about mutant rockers. When I found a copy after ages looking for it I was ecstatic...and then slightly disappointed when I watched it as it wasn't as good as I remembered. Nostalgia's a bitter bitch, I still quite liked it though but the magic of it was destroyed utterly



I used to love this song, it was from the film. I literally used to rewind the video and watch it multiple times.

My friends and I used to watch a rubbish film called American Anthem over and over again.. It was a love story really, based around gymnasticss and the lead actor was an attractive chap called Mitch Gaylord.. don't even know if he was ever in anything else, but we used to watch that film until we could speak along!!

I've never ever even thought about looking Mitch Gaylord up.. Turns out he was a 1984 gold Olympic medalist, not an actor (this explains a LOT)

Crusher Joe... a naff 80's anime. I must have watched it a million times.

Another one I watched too many times. I think I liked the sequel more though.

Lol, in fairness that scene works for 'Euripides Mouse' alone.
The lack of CG is nice too.

Still have to make it clear though that the Rescuers Down Under was the only Disney sequel that didn't suck.

I can't remember the name of the film but I always used to watch it.
It had a minotaur in it and a unicorn as well as a load of other creatures and I seem to remember it being quite scary.
Does anybody know the film, it must of been released in the early 90s.

Teen Wolf

Not only couldn't I remember the name, I couldn't remember the main actor. I managed to watch it a few months ago, thought it was pretty crap this time, I should have left it well in the back of my mind.

Legend 1985 with Tom Cruise and Tim Curry? or maybe Labyrinth 1986 with David Bowie?

Might be something to do with the fact that you introducing the word Nostalgia into the thread........ nostalgia being noted for being in the past and times gone by - aka - old, fondly reminisced over.

From a nostalgic point of view: any of the Old Disney movies, those I love at this time of year.
