As a child, Planet of the Apes blew my mind.

This is the first thing I thought of for most memorable movie moment. When Heston says, "Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!" may have been the first time I heard cheering at a theater. The Statue of Liberty was shocking too. It wasn't like we had to worry about movies being spoiled back then. Maybe people that subscribed to magazines specifically related to movies got that kind of info, but no one I knew did.

The ending of Bonnie and Clyde was shockingly graphic for back then. Seeing their bodies being riddled by bullets in the slow motion shots was etched into my young mind.

The Jungle Book was also a movie I really loved as a kid. Probably saw it on a Friday and a Saturday night the first weekend it came to out theater. Sang Bare Necessities for months after that when I was playing.

In junior high I paid less attention to the movies, and more to getting to second and third base.
