What was a favourite show/movie of your childhood that did not dissappoint when you watched [View all]

Last edited Fri Apr 26, 2013, 01:50 AM - Edit history (1)

it as an adult. I loved "Born Free". Just saw it again and I liked it but not as much. So I will pass it on to the parts of my family who have children. M*A*S*H I am watching again now and like it even more than when I was a teen. The dialogue is so witty. There is so much compassion. It is so deep on war and humanity. I have another 260 episodes to go. I can't wait.
