[In which there are movies]
What is your favorite children's movie?
Easy QotD! Woo! My favorite children's movie is one I didn't see until I was in my 20s: My Neighbor Totoro. Apparently it's out on DVD now with a Japanese language track, so I should pick it up. Right now I just have it on VHS.
When I was a kid, though, my favorite movies were classics & musicals. I watched old black&whites on PBS and AMC. This was back when AMC was still cool, though, when it showed actually old movies & Nick Clooney introduced them. I blame that channel for my love of cinema in general. Mr. Clooney's anecdotes and miniature film classes first taught me that there was something more to the movies. Thank you, sir.

I remember when AMC was cool... and before we got cable there was my dad's massive video collection, and before that there was PBS and this little local independent station that ran old movies that were either public domain or really cheaply licensed [Blithe Spirit, Lady of Burlesque, etc.]. I grew up with more classics and musicals than actual kids' movies, and for this reason I also missed out on a lot of the popular movies of the day. I didn't see Dirty Dancing or Pretty Woman until I was in college. Actually, I didn't even see Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory until college, either, although I remember seeing part of it at the library summer reading program [the part with the fizzy lifting drinks] as a kid.
Also? Miyazaki is love. My Neighbor Totoro is on my Netflix queue right now.
