\"Jumanji<\/a>Guest blogger Anna Ty\u00f6rinoja writes:<\/p>\n

As some of you might now, I often hail the praises to the ’90s as the best time period of film (or at least its kicking of the ’70s, ’80s and ’00s’ behinds). But then you remember ridonculous stuff like this.<\/p>\n

Jumanji <\/a>was absolutely my favourite as a bright eyed six-year-old. It was one of those rare\u00a0films that I had on VHS, and would watch time and time again until the actual tape broke. It\u2019s interesting how as a kid you didn\u2019t really mind how long you could watch your favorite film. Whether it was the first, the middle or the last 15 minutes, you\u2019d be dead excited anyways. I\u2019ve grown up to be one of those people that can\u2019t watch a film on TV if it\u2019s already started a minute ago, and even missing the trailers at the cinema makes me uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

But I do believe that the films you see as a kid shape how you feel about certain types of movies growing older; it lays the basis of your enthusiasm and taste. I for one, blame my film-watching habits as a kid on my obsession on sci-fi and comic books. I was very young when I first watched the original Star Wars<\/a>, Batman Returns<\/a> and Batman Forever<\/a> (I was also obsessed with the ’60s TV series Batman; if you haven\u2019t seen it, you\u2019re missing out). Jurassic Park<\/a> was the first film that I sneakily watched at my grandma\u2019s that I shouldn\u2019t have seen as young as I was (it\u2019s rated PG-13 for \u201cintense science fiction terror\u201d).<\/p>\n

The’90s, however, was\u00a0the newfound golden era of Disney. The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast<\/a> (1991), Aladdin <\/a>(1992), The Lion King are to many the best films Disney ever animated. But then Pixar changed the animation game forever. I can\u2019t say I\u2019m the biggest fan of Toy Story<\/a> or its sequels.\u00a0I thought 3 was heartfelt and appealing, but I never got the massive best film of the year buzz it got (no pun intended).<\/p>\n

Some things that made me laugh back then, I\u2019m afraid to watch now. I mean, I absolutely loved Dumb & Dumber <\/a>(1994) as\u00a0I tended to laugh at anything Jim Carrey<\/a> did. (Not so much now. Did you see Yes Man<\/a>? That recipe that rocked a kid\u2019s comedy world in Liar Liar shouldn\u2019t be touched after the age of 11.) I guess your sense of humor\"Cable<\/a> changes the most through the years. I\u2019ve ended up as someone who finds rarely anything funny (besides The Office, Conan and Judd Apatow<\/a>\u2019s films). Then again, it\u2019s interesting to see that a lot of people have and hold their favorite comedies for years; Wayne\u2019s World<\/a> being a good example.<\/p>\n

What were your favorites as a kid?<\/p>\n
