So many great titles on this list! I’ve seen most of them. My hubby (fiancé at the time) and I loved Jurassic Park so much that we saw it twice in the theaters. I’m surprised to not see The Sandlot here. And The Goonies, of course. I would have to add Independence Day. We rewatch it every 4th of July.

The Sandlot and the Goonies—yes!! I remember when Independence Day came out, and it was such an incredible hit, and everyone went to see it. Fun times!

This a great list, with tons of titles I've never seen! I have to admit that while I do enjoy the original Parent Trap, it's the Lindsay Lohan version that holds my heart. My kids love it now, too, it's one of their favorites. How funny to think that the "new" Parent Trap is just as classic to them as the Hayley Mills version was for me when I watched it at their age!

Yes, the new Parent Trap was surprisingly good! I was afraid they were going to ruin it, but they didn't. It was adorable.

I can't believe I didn't put The Sandlot on here. I always get choked up during the fireworks scene. I will have to check out those other two!

I need to check out Treasure Island! I was toying with the idea of reading it to the boys this summer, but I'm not sure if they're too young yet.
