  Had to have been back in the early '70s when we finally got our first cable channel--The Z Channel through Theta Cable.

  I can't remember the plot, but it was the first time I'd seen real, moving & naked boobs, apart from a Playboy. Fascinating.

  Ahhh, the things one remembers?

      What I find really surprising, considering I haven't seen it in over 35 years, is how well the reviewers are treating it now. I thought it was pretty fluffy when I was a kid, but of course had no real idea what the Cold War was, so missed a lot.

  and

  2) frankenstein.

  but i must have watched these movies when i did not have much of a distinction between reality and fiction. because i think i remember them as being more real than if i was to see them as an adult.

  i probably had as much empathy for these characters as i've had for almost any other characters in cinema.

  Bruce Lee was a god. My brother and I spent countless hours in the garage turning broomsticks into nunchucks and trying to figure out how to turn nails into darts. We also had the Guns of Navarone playset - with a big plastic mountain with guns and ladders and the like - all scaled for green plastic army men.

  Also, I think I watched the Blues Brothers every week for about a year when it came out on laser disc.

  I grew up in the age of Roger Moore, so I thought Moonraker was the pinnacle of movie making. Again, this inspired my brother and I to make countless weapons of questionable lethality out in the garage.

  Tarzan movies on Saturday morning TV were pretty good too, since my dad liked to hang out and watch them with us every week.

  Thanks for the memories.

  Miracle on 34th street

  I also loved (still do) the MGM stye musicals...anything with Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly. The Bandwagon and Singing in the Rain were my favorites.

  Robin Hood (Flynn/Rathbone)

  Monster movies...the original Godzilla in particular.

  Never got to see any classic Disney films until they became available on video and I was in my teens then. Now I own them all and Pinnochio is far and away my favorite.

  
  So many memories.....

      The first time I saw the movie was on TV. I can remember the TVGuide having a big article about it. I had to be somewhere in the mid to early 70's. I remember staying up late to see it, and every second that it took to get to its showing time seemed like an eternity. When I finally watched it, it was everything I could have ever hoped for. I was very happy after seeing it. It is one of those movies that really played on my imagination, being born in early 68. It was about 10 years later that I was able to see it again. That was about 10 years of Wonka hunger and images that needed to be verified. The second time was just as good as the first. I still watch it whenever it's on. Hopefully Hollywood will get weirder and make a re-make!

  Jason and the Argonauts was one of mine, and apparently it still is since I immediately bought the anamorphic "Harryhausen Collection" DVD when it came out. :o)

  I also loved Disney's Fantasia, Mysterious Island ...another Harryhausen film, The Long Ships, and a seemingly endless stream of 1940's vintage serial chapters aired between less interesting television shows on Saturday mornings in the late 50's. Note: I can just barely remember all those serial chapters, but they left an impression.

    i've seen a few scenes from that movie recently. it's in a walt disney 'songs' video, and it really is a work of art. the songs are outstanding. the film is just really well done. i hate to admit it but mary poppins is one of the sexiest most interesting screen personalities i've seen.
