Ok you can only pick three films.

Films you watched as a child and still love as an adult mine are.

1. Darby O'Gill and the Little People

2. Watership Down (1978)

3. Superman also (1978)

Out of the entire list, until the time of my post, these two are the only ones have ever seen and I didn't see either until way into adulthood.

In my childhood, It was things like Doris Day and the annual Norman Wisdom film. Oh, and I vaguely remember 'The Dambusters'.

In childhood we had Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy from the film library on 9.5mm silent format.
