For me, it's not necessarily films I saw in the theater (although there's plenty of those--"Star Wars", "Jaws", "Raiders Of The Lost Ark", "E.T.", etc.,.). It's more about the films I saw on television as a little kid: "Jesus Christ Superstar", "The Ten Commandments", "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", "The Wizard of Oz", "The Sound Of Music"... Those were 'event' films as a child, usually always aired around holidays, and something I'd get to stay up late for.
Speaking of holidays... Pretty much any puppetry Rankin & Bass ever made. "Rudolph", "Year Without A Santa Claus", "Frosty", even the cartoon stuff like "Twas The Night Before Christmas" (with the mice)... Hard not to watch that stuff and feel 8 years old again.
And anyone old enough to remember "Schoolhouse Rocks!" on ABC Saturday morning? You know, the short educational stuff that used to air back when Saturday morning cartoons were actually good? "Conjunction Junction", "Verb (That's What's Happenin')", "I'm Just A Bill", "Shot Heard Round The World", "Interjections!", etc.,. Awesome stuff.
