[NF] NFs, what movies shapped your childhood?

[Eftelya]

Hm...

The Land Before Time. I remember one day, it was mid-Winter and I guess somewhere near New Year's Eve, my mother had taken me to our local video rental store and I instantly picked out this movie. So I did the next time we went there, and the next, and the next. Thus, if I were to choose a movie that shaped my childhood, it would be this one.



And any Studio Ghibli works. Albeit not that old, Spirited Away has always been one of my favorites and probably always will be. I have lost count of how many times I have watched it. The colors, the art, the story, the creativity. This movie had always intrigued and fascinated me so deeply as a little girl.



Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbour Totoro, Nausikaä, Grave Of The Fireflies, Shrek, The Polar Express, Snow White, Labyrinth, Jurassic Park, The Neverending Story, Dumbo, Lord Of The Rings, Home Alone, Nanny McPhee, 101 Dalmatians, Bambi...

And Tim Burton movies. Especially The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands.
And later Corpse Bride. A little bit of magic, some drama, and poof, I was captivated in an instant.

Am I not such an INFP?

[Eftelya]

Oh how much I cried, haha.

 

[mgbradsh]

The Never Ending Story comes immediately to mind.

 

[Hellodadadarling]

Matilda for sure. Penchant for reading, super powers, difficult family life and the love she dreamed
of at last.

 

[Hellena Handbasket]

Princess Bride
Steel Magnolias - specifically the line "I'd rather have 5 minutes of wonderful, than a lifetime of nothing special." Always stuck with me.
Labyrinth
The Dark Crystal
The Never ending Story
Beauty and the Beast

 

[Population: 1]

I was a 70’s/80’s kid. The first movie that I truly remember well was Star Wars. I was 5 or 6 when it came out. It and the rest of the original trilogy are inextricably woven into my childhood. Also Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Dark Crystal. A couple of movies I wasn’t supposed to see but managed to watch on cable included The Road Warrior and Conan the Barbarian. I’ve always been a sci-fi and fantasy nerd.

The Road Warrior probably blew my little mind the most as I grew up in the shadow of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) during the Cold War but never imagined what a post limited nuclear exchange setting might be like. I was fascinated by the possibilities of any world that was drastically different from the one I was growing up in.

I should really be asleep.

 

[Abcdenfp]

The last unicorn
witches
labyrinth
the wizard of oz
pollyanna
seven brides for seven brothers
sound of music

 

[cacaia]

Labyrinth
Batman Returns (directed by Burton)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- all 3 movies (I know, I know, what a dork)
Edward Scissorhands (again, Burton)
Beauty and the Beast (Though I really like the 2018 revamp, and would prefer it to the cartoon now)
Sleepy Hollow (you guessed it...Burton)
I didn't realize I liked so many Burton movies as a kid-back then I had no idea who he was. It just dawned on me this last decade that there was a pattern there...

 

[The Cat]

 

[typologyenthusiast]

Alice in wonderland, Pinocchio, Alladin,

 

[Firebird 8118]

Beauty and the Beast, and a bunch of old Bollywood movies depicting good girls as being soft-spoken, obedient and respectful in a patriarchal society while bad girls were those who were more modern/“Westernized”.

(Yes, as you can probably see I’ve become quite resentful. Also, I just woke up from a dream in which I was stuck in an argument with an awful middle-aged Bible-thumping gay-hating lady who wouldn’t let me leave until she made sure everyone else around us agreed only with her viewpoint while she was screaming at me. So yeah, fuck you you fictional bitch.)

 

[The Cat]

Labyrinth

I knew I must become the Goblin King.

 

[typologyenthusiast]

TV series: Sinbad, return of the condor heroes, Tokyo love stories, To Liong To (dragon buster sword), The rival brothers, A new Dragon Inn, but mostly cartoon, spiderman the cartoon series, doraemon, kamen raider, time quest, Sailor Moon.

 

[Saturnal Snowqueen]

Arthur and The Invisibles is underrated. I loved that movie growing up and I played the PS2 game of it all day long. Also loved Narnia, Dude Where's my Car?(not really a kids movie but still), Hetalia: Paint it White, and Scooby Doo movies, mostly the live action ones and Cyberchase.

 

[The Cat]

Hook.

Bisexual flamboyant pirates, and Robin Williams, this movie had so much that appealed to child me.

[The Cat]

OMG YES, This movie was it for me for a time. I related to Gabriel Byrne's character more than Brad Pitt's though.

I understood holli so completely, her scene where she studies Marilyn Monroe was always so intimate for me because even when i was young i had that same feel that Holli had and in my mind even now i see myself as a more controlled version to her. she wants to be real and i want to be fantasy.

Most definitely, one of the things that makes it one of my favorites is because the mortals get to stay in the Faerie realm and become faeries themselves.
