Throwback Thursday: What was Your Favorite Funny Movie As A Kid? Throwback Thursday is here again, and we were wondering... what was your favorite movie as a kid? Were you into comedies, karate movies, sci-fi? What movie got you over-the-moon excited? JStew: I feel like so many cool movies came out when I was a kid. As a child growing up in the 70's & 80's, it seemed like the height of movie awesomeness. But when I think back to the funniest movies of my childhood, it didn't really get funny for me until I was a teenager. Before that, I really only saw the movies my mom wanted me to see, or AKA, the movies she wanted to see. the first movie I remember laughing at the most was Planes, Trains, and Automobiles when I was 12 or 13. But then when I hit 14, I saw Spinal Tap for the first time and never really looked back. even though some of the humor was a bit sophisticated for me at the time (I didn't really get the cold sore jokes...) but over the years, it's been like finding something new every time I see it. I still watch Spinal Tap whenever I get the chance. I should just buy it.....
