Were there any videos you were obsessed with watching as a kiddie? I'm 33, and recorded this off TV on our ancient machine (still mid VHS/Beta format wars!):

I had a few other other tapes I watched obsessively (including the Heathcliff cartoons, 'The Rutles' & some episodes of Monty Python). I used to think I warped my brain on Monty Python all these years... :D

I always HAD to watch "Nightmare before Christmas" at least 5 times a day at my gran's house, and as often as I could, I watched "The Last Unicorn", "Neverending Story" and of course, "Conan the Barbarian". I still love them all.

I watched "the little toaster" or whatever it's called, you know that movie with the toaster, vaccume, and the blanket and they travel across the forest or something like that.

I was also obsessed with the Land Before Time, I think I have all the movies and I watched them OVER and OVER again. And I started called lettuce "treestar" too.

Yes, I recorded some Tarzan movies off of TV and there was a time that I used to like watching them over and over.

I watched The Lion King constantly as a child. I had it memorized word for word and would recite it when asked...or for fun. :D
I still really love that movie and enjoy just as much as I did then. Though, I don't have it memorized anymore.

I HAD to watch The Lion King everday after school and whenever I had the chance. It's a miracle the tape still works and dosen't have lines in it. I still have it memorised. But Titan A.E. is my favoritem movie now (and I have that memorised). BTW, you might want to have this moved to another fourm.

There was a few things I remember watching over and over again. One was the Star Wars trilogy(I have the Special Edition VCR set), another was The Rescuers from down under. But I can't quite remember what else.

Monty Python does not warp the brain, it is our antidote to a warped world. :twisted:

I used to watch Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life over and over. I was a very strange child.

The Dark Crystal and Goonies and Little Shop of Horrors and Nightmare Before Christmas were all good shows to watch over and over again.
