Cuz, you know, i was a kid so i'm an expert in most of these...

(Notice how i just snuck it in there?)

The Muppet Movie
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
The Rescuers


I saw all of these in the theatres.  Of course, this was in the early 80's when they were re-released :)

I chose Bedknobs And Broomsticks, Willy Wonka, and Bad News Bears was the favorite between the other 2.

willa wonka is really an awesome awesome movie. i just watched it again a couple weeks ago -- the dvd has a pretty great commentary track with all the kida ctors coming back now that they're all like 40-something...

"I want an Oompaa Loompa daddy, I want an Oompaa Loompaa NOWWWWWWW"  :o  There are so many great lines in that movie, mostly the ones by Gene Wilder when he makes the snide remarks to the kids.  :D

In my opinion, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was the 'Wizard of Oz' of the 70s. Oh, here's a bit of trivia for you. It was called 'Willy Wonka' rather than 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' because the film was supposed to be one big long advert for a chain of sweets of the same name (like He-man the cartoon was to the action figures).

My choices were Willy Wonka, Bedsticks and Broomknobs and Robin Hood (Disney).

they talk about that, how nobody remembers the candy bar but the movie's gone on to be a classic among classics. and it was conceived as a 90-minute candy-bar advert!

here's a trivia quiz for ya: anybody know where the movie was shot? what location?

Was it shot in Austria or somewhere like that? I think it was only a couple of miles away from the actor who played Augustus Gloop.

austria ist ein gut guess! villa vonka vos in austria during ze vor!

super close, but not quite. and now that i've given it away, i'll need a city too. :)

I'm guessing Germany but have no idea where.  :)

germany is correct. i forget why they didn't shoot it in england like you'd expect. remember the scene at the end when they fly up in the gizmo and there's all these red roofs as far as the eye can see?

asking for the city is unfair of me, no one who hasn't seen the dvd commentary or looked it up could possibly know.

Charlotte's Web
Willa Wonka...
The Muppet (Some day you'll find it...the rainbow connection...the lovers...the dreamers...and me...lalalalalalalalalalalalala)

I chose:


Pete's Dragon
Pipi Longstocking
Freaky Friday


these were some of my favorites as a young child.

i worshipped all of these fine works back in the day. good choices.  :)

The Aristocats, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and The Muppet Movie.

Willy Wonka, Robin Hood (I love the love song between him and Maid Marian), and hmmm, what was my other choice? lol

Willy Wonka I thought was filmed outside of Munich, Germany. My Aunt was living over there around the same time  ;D

My votes went to;

Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Charlotte's Web
The Aristocats

Good poll, Tia  :)

The Muppet Movie

I chose Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory...

I absolutely love that film!  8)

There is no 'other' option, so I'll be different and choose Alan Parker's 'Bugsy Malone'...

Had Disney's 'Jungle Book' been made a few years later, that would have clinched it!

i'm not a big believer in the "other" option. folks make suggestions for other movies in the thread anyway, ya know? but i sorta like the idea that if you vote, you should vote for something specific.

i actually missed bugsy malone but i remember when i was trolling around netflix looking for titles to put on this list i stumbled on a description of it and it sounded cool so i put it on my list.

Pipi Longstocking
Freaky Friday


I remember watching Freaky Friday in the cafeteria in Elementary School.  This was back when they showed it on the movie projector.  Inevitably, during every movie, the film would break and they would have to stop everything and reset the projector. :D

Yes, I was disheartened not seeing it there. I 35, and it's been my #1 film since 1976! The flick will finally hit our Region 1 DVD-playing shores soon.

Dude! Pippi in the South Seas!!! Classic!

Pippi with Mr Nelson, of course.

Not so much of the longstockings above?

holy crap! i'm viewing this page in the library! they're gonna arrest me!

there were like three pippi movies. i had to pick one.

Pippi was awesome.  I remember beign aware that they were made overseas...I think these films are responsible for my hoity-toity artsy pain in the neck love of internationally made movies.

Pippi with Mr Nelson, of course.

Which version is this one portrayed?

I said The Muppet Movie, The Rescuers and Charlotte's Wb.
To this day I still cry at the end of Charlotte's Web :\'(

Which version is this one portrayed?


I think all, except the one on the truck, are from the original Pippi Longstocking.

A Germany/Sweden production from 1969, that explains a lot.

hmm, my netflix shows pippi as 1974. maybe that's when it was released stateside.

Willy Wonka
Escape To Witch Mountain
Freaky Friday

Willy Wonka
Escape To Witch Mountain

i believe those were my exact choices! :)

Oh, yes!  That movie is classic!!  8)

Willy Wanka (have the soundtrack on VINYL  ;D ;D)
The Muppet Movie
The Aristocats




Cat

The Aristocats 

Freaky Friday

The Apple Dumpling Gang

I always thought it a great shame they made PIPPI LONGSTOCKING into a totally ridiculous film, for me the character went to pot (so to speak) once the books were put onto film.
We read Swedish author ASTRID LINDGRENS PIPPI books at school in the 1970's

some favourite kids films

'WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND' with Hayley Mills
THE JUNGLE BOOK

"Good News, We Found the Bears"

Charlotte's Web was basically the best 70's children's movie, IMO. Better than the 2006 remake.

I picked 3 movies I love like crazy

1) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - 1971 (Have it on VHS (Recorded from the disney channel in the 80s))

2) The muppet movie - 1979 (I have it on VHS) - Best muppet movie ever....

3) The Black Stallion - 1979

Freaky Friday is one of my most favourite movies - so many classic scenes! The actress who played the mother was hilarious!
