Childhood wonder
This title is what drew me to books and taught me that books can take you to a new world. Not only that, the author makes you feel a part of that unique world.

The different levels. (0 more)
I've been playing Tetris for a while. (Scene '89) I like to see how many levels I can beat. And I always go back to eat cause it reminds me of my childhood.

Ingmar Bergman’s masterpiece is also the greateat film ever made. Containing elements of Dickens, Dostoevsky and magical realism this epic of childhood combines every era of Bergman’s amazing career and surpasses them all on the way.

This book is a childhood favourite! I want to read it again but I'm scared I'm going to be disappointed.

A magical story where boy meets girl... wait... boy meets girl?! That's not supposed to happen!

Last night on FB, was just talking about all the games I used to play with my family and friends when I was growing up. It was so much to to sit at the kitchen table, eat snacks, talk about our days, and tell stories of the past as we played tabletop games. Kids today miss out on a lot by having so much screen time and too little face time. Game night used to be a way of life every night.

"The Wizard of Oz, the witch was always haunting me, the green witch, the Wicked Witch of the West, so Wizard of Oz was also a huge impact film in my childhood, as well as Pinocchio."

Movie Favorite

"For me, the most devastating childhood remembrance film—if that’s what it is. The story is too remarkable and strange to be fiction. Six-year-old Brigitte Fossey—trying to make sense of her just-witnessed parents’ deaths by urgently assembling a beautiful little animal graveyard—might just nudge out Dean Stockwell as my all-time favorite child star, and she makes me cry a lot more! Comedy mixed in with such sadness, sadness, sadness!!! This is early childhood distilled and put in a very dangerous bottle!"

This movie is childhood Halloween perfection, though I admit I may have some bias given my fondness for it from my younger years. Still, the movie has stood the test of time and remains popular every October!

This is fairly bog-standard King - childhood friends, cabin in the woods, mysterious events, I think one of them might have been an author. A good read, but there are so many better books to read first.
