    An American Tale. Watched it a ton in St Vincent, then I moved to America as a child so there was a close feeling to it. (Just to be clear, I was born in Brooklyn, NY, but my family moved out of the states to St Vincent within 2 years. So my earliest memories are not from the US, despite being born here).

    I watched Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore so many times at a bit too young.

    Also, The Jungle Book starring Sabu. A black and white live action film apparently from 1942.

    Big Trouble in Little China.

    We considered it to be on the same level as Ghostbusters. The ending showed a monster as a stowaway on the old Porkchop Express. We all couldn’t wait for the inevitable sequel where Jack Burton got into some Big Trouble somewhere else. Only found out as an adult much later that it was a really unsuccessful movie and there was no way they’d make a sequel.

    It’s all in the reflexes!

      When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like that: “Have ya paid your dues, Jack?” “Yessir, the check is in the mail.”

      I can here the music. Hard to say how many times I watched this as a kid. It still holds up!

    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.

    we had See Spot Run (23% on rotten tomatoes) but it got taped over by another movie “accidentally” when I was 7 and I haven’t seen it since…

    having read the plot on Wikipedia, it features a lot more references to testicles than I remember

      I’ve never heard of this movie but based on your comment I’m guessing it’s about checking yourself for testicular cancer?

        it’s about a drug sniffer dog who bites off the balls of a mafia boss, runs away from witness protection, and gets adopted by a mailman.

        It’s definitely a stupid antics movie: at one point, a woman gets farted on by a zebra whilst holding a lit match
