The day The Earth Stood Still! That film about the friendly alien comes to USA and some idiot shoots him. He has a big silver robot with him called Goyt or something like that. I love that film even now.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind! That then got me into Arthur C Clarke books, space stuff and physics..I ended up studying Physics with Astrophysics at uni.
I also loved Xanadu..I still do and have it on DVD.
OMG KebabMeister did you read my mind? How great was Daina Dors in the Amazing Mr Blunden? Only gets 3 stars in Radio Times film reviews though. Definitely a favourite childhood film.
The Amazing Mr Blunden was always on at our cinema and I always went to watch it. Another was Song of the South and Huckleberry Finn. Bizarrely the Roger Moore movie Gold was a film that I seemed to catch quite a lot.
