Awesome films from our childhood we may have forgotten

So my little boys off school for the holidays and hes got a tummy bug, so I was thinking of showing him some films that I loved as a kid.
Ive gone through the obvious ones like The Goonies and Flight of the Navigator, Labyrinth etc, even the He-Man and She-Ra christmas special, but Ive ran out of ideas.

Anybody recommend anything awesome?
 
Adventures in Babysitting
The Goonies (My parents tell me I watched it every day for about 3 months)
Weird Science
Pollyanna
Can't Buy Me Love
Pretty in Pink
Lady & the Tramp
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
 
Starman

and may I add, the tv movie Nightmares, for the sole reason, of the episode entitled Bishop of Battle staring a young emilio estevez
 
Honey I Shrunk the KiRAB. I showed this to my class of 7 year olRAB on the last day of term before Christmas. Not one of them wanted to watch it, voting instead for Alvin and the Chipmunks despite having already seen it, so I made them watch this. I've never seen them so transfixed by a film. Not a word, not even much fidgeting at all, which is hard for a 7 year old to do for 2 hours. But they absolutely loved it. Highly recommended.
 
Weekend at Bernies was originally a 15 and it's now a 12!:D

In fact quite a few films not meant for kiRAB have been mentioned on here! Just shows how much things have changed since videos and DVRAB were invented!:p

When I was little you couldn't get into the cinema unless you looked the right age for the film's certificate!:p
 
I see there is a lot of love here for US 80s films.

Anyone remember the more obscure ones?

My Science Project, about a kid who finRAB an alien artifact on an old abandoned military graveyard for old airplanes. Decides to do it as his science project, turns out to be a time machine of sorts, but brings things from the past/future to "now".....Late Great Denis Hopper stars as his science teacher.....man.....

The Manhattan Project, this is another highschool project film, where the kid in question builRAB an Atomic Bomb.......:D

And Real Genius, Val Kilmer stars as super brainy college student working on lasers, who is beiing used by his evil teacher to create weapons for Military?
 
Mac and Me

The Last Starfighter

Explorers

Batteries Not Included

Battle Beyond the Stars

Space Raiders (reused footage from Battle Beyond the Stars)

Over the Top (starring Sly Stallone)

The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid (and its sequel - Why did you pick on me)
 
Most of the films i've posted were from my early teenage years as I can't remember many from earlier than that.

One that I can is Santa Claus: The Movie
I also remember having to watch The Worst Witch because of my sister.


but one of my faves from the teen years in Big Trouble In Little China.
 
Jumanji
The Mask
Jurassic Park
The Indian in the Cupboard:o (When I discovered this again it's only now I realise that the acting was a bit shabby in this, but I remember loving it when I was a kid,lol.)
Flubber
Disney Animations (Hercules,Lion King,etc.)
 
What age?

For some reason I remember Weekend at Bernies being one of my favourite films when I was young.
and Police Academy :D
Maybe those are for early teens though.
