Today I couldn’t help but think about my childhood.  I know that today people look at me and wonder how does someone actually become that in love in film? Well the answer to that question is through lots of practice.

I’ve always loved movies, ever since I was young.  I grew up on many movies.  A lot of the ones you would imagine any movie geek child would.  I loved Return of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  However, the one movie that stands out in my memory as the movie that I had on repeat the most was the 1986 comedy The Three Amigos!.  The film stared Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short as three actors who just got fired from their studio and decide to go to Santo Poco, Mexico to try and make some cash in what they assume is a paid appearance but turns out to be an offer for them to save the town from the gun runner El Guapo.

I remember as a child, along with my older brother (Douglas), watching this movie enough times that the tracking feature of the VHS player not helping us anymore.  We eventually used to recite the Amigos shout. Here is my favourite scene from the movie.

As today is the one day of the year where people start to note that I’ve gotten older (today I’m 24) I felt in a mood to share this with you all.

What was your childhood film?
