Human memory is an extremely bizarre thing. It happens that sometimes we forget very important facts and moments that took place quite recently, while for whole decades we remember to the smallest detail all sorts of films or cartoons that we saw only a couple of times in our childhood.

We remember well the names of the characters of these films, their signature lines, and as soon as someone sings just a couple of notes from the musical theme of these films, we happily pick up and sing until the end of the whole day. We may even forget the name of the film, but we will never dismiss from mind our emotions when watching it.

The AskReddit community once asked the question "What's a movie you saw as a kid that only you seem to remember?" and the thread went viral instantly, with nearly 13.4K upvotes and over 20.6K comments across different generations of redditors. At least among the answers there are films from the seventies, as well as relatively recent ones that came out at the beginning of this century.

Bored Panda made a selection of the most popular, touching and nostalgic comments for you, so feel free now to scroll to the very end, and then - who knows, maybe you will take an old and dust-covered VHS player with your favorite cassette from the attic, plug in the cables and, for an hour or so, go back to that beautiful, unattainable childhood...

Interestingly, I was far more familiar with the sequel (Fievel Goes West). I received a box set at some point as a gift and was able to watch the first, which I did not feel impacted me as much and was 'less enjoyable' at the time. Now, however, it is the one I remember better. Very impactful. The set came with a computer game too, but I remember little of it.

The name changes on Ellis Island are a myth. The people on Ellis Island were required to copy the names that were on the ship manifest. There were transliteration changes, since many of the ships were German, and the people who wrote the manifests were transliterating non-German names using the German Alphabet, but nobody changed a last name from, say, Cohen to Kerry on Ellis Island.

I recently watched the original Pete’s Dragon and realized I still know it off by heart. And still sincerely enjoy it. Better than the remake.

I also once watched “Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken” as a kid and LOVED it. Thought about it for years afterwards but whenever I asked anyone else about “This movie about a girl who performs a stunt where she jumps on a running horse at the top of a tall tower and jumps with the horse into a pool. And then goes blind but does it again anyway.” Everyone thought I was crazy. Thank you Disney Plus for confirming it DOES exist, I DIDN’T make it up, and got major nostalgia watching it again.

Holy. F**king. S**t.

I’ve been trying to figure out what this was for the last 25 years. This is it. I couldn’t remember that it was a Ray Bradbury book. I certainly didn’t remember Leonard Nimoy voiced one of the characters.

God damn, thank you. I thought I was crazy. This is the line that I always tried to remember because as a kid I thought it sounded cool:

“The day Joe Pipkin was born all the Orange Crush and Nehi soda bottles in the world fizzed over…”

I cannot convey how loud my gasp was just now. I watched this movie RELIGIOUSLY every Halloween. EVERY. HALLOWEEN. And then they stopped playing it and I never could find it again.

Killer Clowns From Outer Space, definitely stumbled on that one too early in life somehow.

I saw that movie when I was about 10 years old. My family was on a road trip, and we were staying in a motel one night. My father decided to find a movie to watch on TV, and he chose that one. I'm pretty sure he knew it was definitely not for kids and just wanted to mess with my brother (4 years younger) and me. I don't know how it affected my brother, but it took till my 20s (currently 36) before I was comfortable around clowns again.

Best part of that movie were the killer clowns costumes. I'd say it's where 75% of the budget went

Napoleon!

Not the dude. It’s about a puppy who wants to be a “wild dog” and gets stuck in a basket with balloons and flies to an island with a really mean cat.

That movie creeped me out as a kid! But the trailer calls it "a hair raising, heart warming, comedy adventure for the whole family"... I'm going to try to find somewhere to watch it now, ha!

S Club 7 is one of those things I feel like I imagined, but then someone somewhere references it and I'm like, oh, good, I'm not insane

It wasn’t a movie it was a f*****g cartoon tv series spinoff of Toy Story (2?) called Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

I had a proper flashback zoom out moment when I remembered the wee red robot for some reason and couldn’t tell if I had made it up in my head, if it was a dream or what, but it was REAL

There was this movie that feels like a childhood fever dream to me now, this kid was walking around an island and finds a pizza tree. He climbs up and tries to eat a slice of pizza when a sand shark "swims" through the sand beneath the tree and traps him there. So he puts some bubblegum on the pizza and throws it down so the sand shark will eat it and get stuck in the gum.

I always remembered the parts with the mermaid and thinking the pirate lady was played by Paula Abdul.

I watched this a few times as a kid, it's a s***ty bastardized version of Treasure Island with the oldest boy from Home Improvement. Moonbeam Entertainment productions

I always enjoyed this movie. It's still taped on a VHS tape at my parents house.
