Childhood Movie Favorites
Do you ever have a movie that you remember really enjoying as a child, but you can never remember what it was? Big Trouble in Little China was one of those for me. I couldn't remember what it was called, but then when we saw at an office movie party it all came back to me. A lot of fun!
There was this other movie that I remember as being a musical about pirates or something, but I never remembered the name. It was a goofy movie where some young man signed up to be a pirate until his 21st birthday (or something) and then when he thought he was done he discovered he was born on leap year, so he really is only 5, not 21, therefore he was still a pirate. So he ends up taking on all the pirates in a big battle so that he can marry the girl of his dreams. Then at the end the girl doesn't like how the movie is turning out so she stops all the action and changes it to a happy ending. Like I said, it was goofy!
Well I was reading PVP today and they had a comic in honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day where they included a reference to The Pirate Movie. I was a little curious so I went out to IMDB to read about it. This was the movie I could never remember the title of. I remember loving this movie as a kid. Guess I will either go rent it, or take it to our office movie party.

Big Trouble in Little China was of favorite of me and my sisters too! We've got the special edition DVD. Ahhh... the memories!
I loved The Pirate Movie too! I saw it once and was totally in love with it. But my mom saw it and then she insisted we watch The Pirates of Pinzance by Gilbert and Sullivan. It has a young Kevin Kline in. It's one of my all time favorites AND it teaches kids a little culture too.
Old time movies. So much fun! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
I am trying to think if I have seen Pirates of Penzance or not. I'll check that one out too.
