Last night, TBS treated the nation to “The Wizard of Oz” and “The Goonies” back-to-back….such a treat! Really made me reminisce of some of my favorite movies growing up. So, without further ado, here’s my top ten:
10. Life Size- (shout-out to my sisters) No list is complete without a Disney Channel movie, and 2000’s “Life Size” makes the list. How could you not love Lindsay Lohan before she was an alcoholic, drug-loving lesbian? And in this one, she is a motherless girl who accidently brings her doll to life when trying to resurrect her dead mother. None other than Tyra Banks plays the roll of the life-sized doll. Plus, this one wins the award for best theme song.
9. Black Beauty- It seems every little girl has an obsession with horses at one point, and I was no exception. Hence, I was obsessed with Anna Sewell’s classic alive on the big screen. From the heart-pumping suspense of Beauty getting his owners home safe in the storm to the heart-wrenching moment when Beauty finds his beloved dead. A great drama for the young and old alike.
8. Teeange Mutant Ninja Turtles, I and II- I started saying, “’Bunga Dude!” when I was three (trust me, we have it on home video). This quartet was huge back in the day. Even though I was scared of Shredder and both his monsters in the second film, “The Secret of the Ooze”, I still couldn’t get enough of these pizza-loving teenagers. Add in a little Vanilla Ice and all I can say is, “Go ninja, go ninja, go!
7. Little Giants- As a tomboy, I idolized Becky “the Icebox” O’Shea. I loved the way she hung with the boys and kicked butt. Not to mention the innocent eye candy of Devon Sawa. Add in a underdog-wins-it-all storyline, lots of laughs and a cast including Rick Moranis and Ed O’Neill complete with cameos with NFL stars John Madden, Bruce Smith, Emmitt Smith, Steve Emtman and Tim Brown and you’re set.
6. Rookie of the Year- This movie made every little leaguer’s dream come true. When Henry breaks his arm and it heals oddly, it gives him the ability to be good enough to get him a spot on the Chicago Cubs’ roster. Of course, Henry goes on to pitch his club into the playoffs while having to overcome adversity to do so. This one is also filled with laughs, mostly from the unforgettable pitching coach Phil Brickma. Let’s play some ball!.
Check in tomorrow for my top 5 as the countdown continues…. ☺
