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.
Follow Ups:
Oh Yes... Jason and the Argonauts. Good one! What about 'Clash of the Titans?' another good one in my era.
I loved those types of films as a kid.I watched clash several times in the theatre--but it is not a good movie--I watched it recently and it was so bad as to be funny.
another one I watched oodles of times and daydreamed about was
the blue lagoon--but again, this is not a good movie. :o)Wait, I just thought of three films that made a great impressions on me as a pre teen
Kramer vs kramer
The Jazz singer
Tempest with ringw, cassavet, rowlands oh and sarandon

Why Miss Piggy, you spry gal! ;^)
A) you give me too much credit for being cultured
B)you're an optimist
C)Didn't realize that 12 year old girls liked Neil Diamond in 1980mp
I remember Neil Diamond from his headlining tours in the early 70's; I'd literally forgotten that he was cast in a remake(?) of The Jazz Singer. My bad.BTW, rhetorically speaking, I wonder if folks go to the Optimist's office to get their perspective corrected? :o)
Was likely the one film that I saw at a tender age that led me down the slippery slope of "Film-buff-hood" from which there's been no respite for some 40 odd years...
I still think it's totally amazing; released in 1941 it was a big budget feature that was a total critical and box office disaster; it all but ruined Disney studios, Walt must've been gutted, and rightly so
Too far ahead of its time IMHO
