Alright, so I was doing some of those "Top Five" things on Facebook, and one of them was "movies you grew up on". I had to do it twice just to cover the movies I watched literally hundreds of times. I decided just to do a blog post about it instead of filling out another few of the Facebook things.
So, here it is. The movies I watched growing up. I PROMISE I WAS BORN IN 1980.
ELVIS - yes, I LOVED Elvis when I was younger. I still do, but not nearly as much as I did when I was a pre-teen. I had all of his movies, and I watched them over and over. So he gets a category all his own. Here are the Elvis movies I watched. I am sure there are more than I am listing here, but these are the ones I remember.
Blue Hawaii
Fun in Acapulco
G.I. Blues
Girls! Girls! Girls!
Viva Las Vegas
Jailhouse Rock
FRANKIE AVALON - He gets his own category too. I watched these movies so many times the Blockbuster and Hollywood video down the street knew my name. (just kidding)
Beach Party
Bikini Beach
Beach Blanket Bingo
(I still know the theme song to this one! Eek!)
Grease
(shame on you if you don't remember Frankie in this one)
Did you catch that all of the movies above are musicals? Yeah, I had a thing for musicals. I'll just go ahead and list the other musical movies I liked as a kid here:

Cute pix! I remember you watching The Sound of Music and doing ALL the dances and everything!
OMG! Are we twins? I have seen every single one of those movies...more than once. Freaky. I thought I was the only person I knew who watched classic movies as a kid. I hated cartoons and I LOVED musicals. Have you seen all of the Gidgets? What about more Hepburn movies? I also loved The Gnome-Mobile, 7 Brides For 7 Brothers, and lots more. You are even cooler than I thought! :)
oh yeah, how about Doris Day movies...my fav is Calamity Jane!
Fun movies!
Hee-Hee. That was fun. What other weird things did you like as a kid? :) (Except for the Elvis movies, I also watched all these movies as a child.)
Do you remember wearing out the only copy of Hairspray at Blockbuster? Also how about the spaghetti westerns I made you watch (for the music?) Mom
