    I remember seeing it in the movie theatre for my 8th birthday.
    The scene with the horse dying. My friends and I were all crying our little eyes out. :(

    I can emotionally connect with Robocop so well in this scene, towards the end.

    I wonder why the Christmas theme for Die Hard, when the movie came out in July.

    The 80's was the golden age for feel-good movies imo, so many great movies to choose from, it's difficult to make a decision. But I gotta go with The Goonies on this one. Who didn't want to go on an adventure including legendary pirate ships, booby traps, and treasure hunts with their own ragtag gang of friends as a kid? The Goonies is one of my absolute favorite movies from my childhood, and still is now that I'm an adult. This is a Nostalgia movie at it's finest, and one of Spielberg's best works if you ask me.
