The old Asterix movies for me. The racism makes them hard to watch now that I'm grown up.

Fern Gully -WAM Sky Dancers -BOOM The Black Cauldron -HAZAA!

Toooomorrow tomorrow I love ya, tomorrow, you're only a day aaaawayyyyy -the song I hate yet is imprinted on me. Thank you younger sibling for that. It was also mom that broke that CD, RIP (Rest in pieces you over played movie)

Is there any modern equivalent? Do we even have any shared culture anymore or are we all in our own rabbit holes?

For me it's lethal weapon 1, my uncle would play it at family gatherings. He has this sick sound system at the time and you can hear the brass casings hit the ground it's awesome.

Whoops Dad accidentally recorded over our bootleg copy of land before time with porn :)

Top Secret! dubbed in Galician.

Dance the magic dance

Just growing up thinking everybody else has also seen The Ugly Dachshund. A movie where I'm convinced everybody who was in it is now dead.

For me, it was What About Bob?

Country Bears was weird and literally no one talks about it

I'm 19. Those movies are:

• "Konferenz der Tier" ("Conference of the animals", some kinda obscure children's movie)
• Bambi
• Lassie
• The wonderful adventures of nils

And later:

• Lucky number slevin
• Everything from Quentin Tarantino

All of those are in our possession in the form of optical media, as well as a 0% legal digital copy.

For me the more "obscure" ones were The Indian and the Cupboard, Small Soldiers, Jingle All The Way, James and the Giant Peach. Not that I referenced it hard or anything.

Finding out other people had the same film unlocked several friendships for me

The Boy Who Could Fly.

We were also defined by Sunday spaghetti westerns, and Kung Fu Theater. We thought all bad guys were uglier than the good guys, and every problem could be solved by shooting or kicking someone.

When I was a kid, my parents wouldn't let me stay up late enough to watch Adult Swim, but they would let me set the VCR to record it on a few blank tapes. And that's how I first watched anime that wasn't on Toonami.

The thief and the cobbler!

Puff the Magic Dragon

It's like a fever dream, but we definitely had it on VHS

Now we're in the List of things we "own" on Amazon prime and watch over and over era

scamper the penguin

For me it was some train movie made with model trains with a conductor that went "oh no" and a movie about talking real life construction equipment when I was young.

Then when I was a bit older, we watched Galavants and Willy the Sparrow.

I wonder if anyone else on the fediverse has even heard of these 😅
