movies/tv Favorite Old School Movies and/or Cartoons.

[FancyHorse 1,209]

Don't know much about the other ponies around, I grew up living with my grandparents and becoming exposed and entertained by the mass collection of classical and legendary movies and cartoon shows, a fine example : Woody Woodpecker. Originally aired in 1953 (Correct me if wrong por favor. ) So if anypony out there has a favorite movie or cartoon from the older days, lets hear it . I'll start by saying BladeRunner was my favorite retro movie. Made in 1982.

i was born in 95, so my idea of classics may be different, but what comes to mind is the original toy story, jurrasic park, tom and jerry ( to hell with the new ones ! ) ed ed and eddy , fosters home for imaginary friends ( i know its fairly new, but its a classic to me ) , george and the giant peach, blade runner /) , flubber, better off dead, grizwalds family xmas ( " shitter was full " XD ) , original pokemon series, a christmas story ( " youll shoot your eye out kid ! " XD ) ... so much but this is all that comes to mind ill come back if i come up with enough for a redo

   Well, Popeye and Max Fleischer's Superman, they made up a large proportion of my childhood and my imagination, Popeye could make me laugh and Superman gave me action and drama, the large amount of work and thought in the writing and animation from both cartoons, continue to give me an appreciation of the old school media. My favourite retro movie is Flight of the Phoenix from 1965, with James Stewart and Richard Attenborough, it is also my favourite survival movie as the marooned passengers of a plane clash in the Sahara Desert, struggle to live while they build a new plane from the remaining parts of the downed plane, and saved themselves, I love the acting and the dramatic setting and premise as the characters cope with the harshness of their situation, it is such a gripping movie I recommend it.

I recently managed to find Max Fleischer's Superman on DVD. The two disc set contains every episode. They're really very good.

Well, I throughly enjoy the classic Doctor Who series, including the specials. I kinda consider them classic films in a way. However, if you really a film that I love, Metropolis. It's a brilliant silent film.

[TorqueEffect 112]

Feels like we already had a thread like this for the cartoons part, not to0 recently, so I will stick to movies.

 

Back to the Future 1, 2 & 3

Terminator 1 & 2

Rambo First Blood, and First Blood Part 2

Total Recall (That remake was terrible and didn't need to happen)

Twister (Yes I liked this movie, Tornadoes tearing shit up)

Die Hard

Jurassic Park 1 & 2 (My two all time favorite movies from my childhood.)

Mad Max 2 Road Warrior

Ace Ventura 1 & 2

 

There are lots more, but I would keep going on. That right there is a chunk of my DVD/Bluray collection.

As an 80's kid, we had many fine cartoons. My childhood fav was Gummi Bears, and my fav movie was Neverending Story.

Old school movies..

 

- Scarface

- The Godfather

- Léon, The Professional

- Total Recall

 

Cartoons? Tom & Jerry - the starting stone for cartoon violence.

 

[RED20 289]

Define "Old School"?

 

My favorite cartoons were stuff like Kim Possible, Spongebob, Transformers: Animated, Arthur, SWAT Kats: The Radical Sqadron <3, Sonic X, stuff like that.

 

I like Speilberg's stuff in the 80's, for movies.

[Wolf-Boy 54]

Don't know if you consider it a classic or old school, but A Clockwork Orange from 1971.  Great movie, one of the best I've ever seen.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Back to the Future trilogy, Ghost Busters 1 & 2 and Trading Places are some of my fave old skool movies. As for cartoons... well, can't beat a bit of He-man and She-ra. Never seen them? You haven't lived.

Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, Batman and Superman with their animated TV shows basically set their own pinnacle of what they had to offer in animation and in style.

Schindler's list. It's one of those movies that once you see it,you won't forget it.A timeless classic.

[ReverseFaller 2,484]

I love watching the classic looney tunes cartoons whenever they're on TV. Those are classics, if you ask me. Also, the older Disney movies are just as awesome. (Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite older Disney movies.)

So you want classic and nostalgia do ya?

 

How are these then:

Milton the Monster

[DND 2,355]

Movies? I love the 80's kid-movie Milo and Otis, and it still remains as my favorite movie of all time~ Not so much in movies, though...

 

Cartoons? Sure, I have a lot. I love Felix the Cat, the 60's and 90's DC and Marvel animated series, Pokemon, the first season, Sailor Moon, pretty much anything from Disney even dating all the way back to the 30's, and My Little Pony. I loved My Little Pony and LPS back then as well before FiM.

Just a point of interest. You corrected Terry Pratchett! The official title is "Wyrd Sisters".  I've watched and enjoyed both Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music. Have you seen the live action movies "The Color of Magic", "Going Postal", "The Hogfather"? They're wonderful! I love all of Terry Pratchett's works! The only book I haven't read yet is "Raising Steam". (I'm on a Perry Mason binge right now!)

[Unified Draft 131]

For Movies:

Ferris Beuller's Day Off

Breakfast Club

16 Candles

(Basically any 80s John Hughes movie) also Top Gun and Rain Man

Wow, you have a lot to catch up on! I liked "Thud" better than "Snuff". Sam Vimes  is one of my favorite characters on the Disc!
