dalsh327 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 To be honest, all the films my Dad liked, like westerns, anything with Marlon Brando, Clint Eastwood, Robert Mitchum, Burt Lancaster, Charles Bronson, Bruce Lee, John Wayne, James Coburn, Steve McQueen, James Stewart (the westerns predominantly) Lee Marvin, they used to be all taped on VHS and i used to just pick em at random and it'd be like, ahhh, todays movie shall be Death Hunt, Charles Bronson & Lee Marvin, whoo-hoo! I'd seen most things out of those guys filmographies at a very early age. And then like, the action/generally sick movies my brother liked which were like Arnie, Stallone, Van Damme, Steve Seagal and then anything that was banned that he could get his hands on like Straw Dogs and Clockwork Orange and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. Back in the day there used to be this huge list of films that were banned over here that you can get pretty freely now but before you had to buy a dodgy copy with fucked up tracking off of some bloke in Bovingdon Market and i just fuckin' saw the lot of em, I Spit On Your Grave all mental films like that. I remember watching that one so young they're like, raping the bird and i didn't even know how rape worked at that age and i'm thinking "shes making a lot of noise and they're barely touching her" But mostly westerns, i sometimes wonder if that didn't help define my morality somewhere deep down, the westerns that is. To this day there's nothing more comfortable to me than watching a nice technicolour 2 and half hour western curled up on a sofa, it's like going back to the womb Clockwork Orange must've been a popular bootleg until Kubrick died.

Gracii Guns Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I wouldn't say any films defined my childhood because ny childhood wasn't fictional, nor reflected in any motion picture.However the films I remember enjoying were Hook, Aladdin and Grease. I've not seen Hook since being a kid, but Aladdin and Grease are both in my DVD collection. Growing up and realising that falling in love is not done young, with someone as cute as John Travolta was, nor your sweetheart dancing a lot, was disappointing.

Redhead74 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 To be honest I don't think any films 'defined' my childhood. I went to the pictures a lot as a kid and saw pretty much every Hollywood film throughout the 80s, but I wouldn't say any film made an impression on me until I was about 12 or 13. My Dad was a big Hitchcock fan and we would rent the films on video and they had a huge impact on me, particularly Rear Window and North by Northwest. My Mum liked Audrey Hepburn and I remember watching Breakfast at Tiffany's with her. In terms of what I do now for a living I would say that those three films had the biggest impact in cultivating an understanding for visual communication than anything else I was exposed to.
