Stand by Me is my favourite movie of all time, and one that I grew up loving and reciting like there was a reward at the end for me.

Besides Stand by Me:
The Goonies - any sort of 80s childhood, coming of age adventure is prime nostalgia and feel-good for me.
The Lost Boys - all-time favourite again.
A Little Princess - I remember being sick off school one day and my dad coming home with a copy of it as it was a gift in an issue of a magazine. It's hard not to grow up nostalgic for that movie, especially when you're a total daddy's girl.
Practical Magic & Stepmum - I have fond memories of watching both of these with my mum.
Spirited Away - a timeless favourite. Along with every other Ghibli classic.

Madeline, Beethoven, All Dogs Go to Heaven, The Secret Garden, Fairytale: A True Story, Peter Pan, My Girl, Home Alone, Parent Trap, Beetlejuice, The Addams Family, Hocus Pocus, Matilda, Problem Child, Annie, Free Willy, Mrs. Doubtfire, Space Jam, FernGully, Kindergarten Cop, The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking, The Sound of Music, The Princess Diaries, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, A Cinderella Story, Holiday in the Sun, Bring it On, See Spot Run, Boyz in the Hood, Save the Last Dance, She's All That, Coyote Ugly, Centre Stage, Big, Crossroads, That one S Club 7 movie (Seeing Double), Look Who's Talking, The Rugrats Movie, Three Men and a Baby, Three Men and a Little Lady, Casper, Coneheads, Dennis the Menace, Bicentennial Man, The Man Without a Face...

Please make me stop 😰 I could spend hours listing movies ahhhh

Stand by Me is a brilliant film...

Oh my. I forgot about Fairytale but it was also a favourite of mine! It was so magical.

A Cinderella Story is another teen classic. I could watch it now and still love it. Same with Lizzie McGuire movie.

It really was so magical! It created a fierce belief in you that all of the magic we read and watched was real. So nostalgic for that childhood imagination.

Same actually! I refuse to throw out my Cinderella Story and Lizzie McGuire DVDs because they're still genuinely enjoyable, even now. Everything she touched at the time was gold 😭

Edward Scissorhands
Hairspray, I was obsessed with this film and watched it everyday (the original with Ricki Lake)
Dirty Dancing
Big

Ok firstly, despite the Internet being a millennial nostalgia fest I’ve never being reminded about the short lived wonka bars till now ! I loved them ! Perhaps you and I were the only ones eating them hence the short lived element... and yes the original film is a classic. The tim burton one sucks.

thanks for posting the greatest store in the world! Watching again for the second time since it was originally broadcast. I was totally the target audience then, at Xmas ‘99 I was 10 and I remember literally stumbling across this during Christmas. I loved Christmas so much back then and I loved S Club 7 as well - and didn’t know they were about to turn up in this, still remember the excitement. And basically nothing else about the story other than them living in the shop.
 
Some more I thought of:

Back To the Future
Wallace and Gromit films
FairyTale: A True Story
E.T.
Small Soldiers
The Flinstone's Movie
Addams Family Values
Dodgeball
Anchorman
The Wedding Singer
Monster-in-Law
Used to like Hitch (Will Smith film) but watched it recently and it hasn't really aged well.

I don’t know about favourite film but I do know the worst and gave me nightmares as a kid! ... The Return to Oz, with the wheelers and the witches heads in the boxes...eugh!

man I loved that film!!! It’s dead creepy though. The heads, the wheelers, the atmosphere is so unnerving! The nome king freaked me out too.

Does anyone remember the 1999 adaptation of Toms Midnight Garden? That was another favourite of mine.

And the movie Andre about the seal 😂
