Little Indian, Big City: it's a comdey about a parisian banker who brings his amazonian indigenous estranged son to live with him in paris. My parents didn't have a TV and it was the only children's movie that my grandparents had so I've seen it a lot. Oh my cousin sometimes forgot the lion king VHS so I got to see that too a few times but I never really liked it.
later they got VHS of the mysterious gold city and pokemon but they're not a movie so it doesn't count.

This could be my answer, I love the original TMNT trilogy and Mouse Hunt was also a movie that left a mark.
I probably don't have a favorite tho, I just remembered a movie called "Surf Ninjas" and was the kind of trash I would watch and repeat a zillion times.
Edit: it's time to start looking for a copy of Hocus Pocus to watch in Halloween 🎃.
Now I am in the rabbit hole of searching 90s movies, Bugs Life, Nightmare before Christmas, the mighty Ducks, ferngully, an American tail, Alladin

Has me talking about German gain. "Rad" is short for "Fahrrad", bicycle. Kinda funny how boring of a title that would be. Nothing really rad about that.

Back in my day, we had to read if we wanted Fantastic Mr. Fox!
Good eccentric movie, I can't imagine how that movie is as a kid.

The Home Alone kid was like my hero as a kid.
Also Bill and Ted is so much fun. Did anyone watch the newest one is it worth watching?
I also semi-regularly say, "Your killing me smalls!" and i used to say, "party on, Garth" as a way of saying goodbye.

It's a pretty big franchise in Europe.

i just watched it with my kid and i found it kind of disturbing. there is a subset of animals (foxes, badgers, rabbits) who are all anthropomorphic, can talk, live in houses, etc. but they are fine with chickens being kept in cages, they snap their necks, and roast them up for food. i asked my kid what they thought the implication of that was—that the animals could all talk and lived in houses but they keep killing all the chickens for food and she said it’s fine because the chickens can’t talk. and it’s true they don’t show any chickens talking in the film. they show foxes talking, badgers, rabbits. they show them all sitting down at a table together to eat chickens. they show rats talking, otters, beavers, ferrets, weasels, and moles. but even in this made up world of sentient talking animals who live in houses, the chicken is simply a resource to be caged and consumed.

as a really young kid it was the land before time and really any don bluth film. all dogs go to heaven, secret of nimh, american tail, etc.
as i got slightly older it was probably something like space jam or jurassic park.
when i was about 12, my dad dumped his old vhs collection on me which was full of “18” rated films and my tastes widened out a lot after that. i watched all of them and i can’t remember what really stood out as my favourite. from that box of tapes i found films that i think are great now, but when i was twelve it was probably just something edgy like mad max.
