"Nobody puts Baby in the corner..."

Picture it: its afternoon, I'm doing the dishes (yes, the old-fashioned way) and I decide I need some motivation in the form of music. Any boring chore becomes fun with music. Well, not fun exactly, but a tad less boring. So I pop in the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Oh, memories.... Ardan walks in the kitchen and before he knows it, I've pulled him into my arms and we're slow-dancing to 'Time of My Life'. Well, I'm slow-dancing, he's madly trying to escape my evil clutches. Gunnar comes along to see what the commotion is all about and then I've got him trapped. After much whining and complaining (on my part) and frantic attempts at escape (theirs), I give up and go back to the dishes. Singing 'Be My Baby' at the top of my lungs, of course. I can still torture them that way, lol.

Listening to that soundtrack, remembering my favorite parts of the movie and how I wanted to be Baby sooooo bad, got me thinking about my favorite childhood movies. Its funny how it can be 20 years later, you're flipping through the channels and you see a movie or a show you loved as a kid and suddenly you're 8 years old again. So I've come up with a list and we'll see if any of them are on YOUR favorite list. For fun, I've decided to put my favorite scene from each movie.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Ferris singing Twist & Shout on the parade float)
Beetlejuice (when the dead couple meets with their smoke-leaking-from-her-slit-throat case worker and gets the tour of the human resources (?) office)
Sound of Music (the puppet scene with the goats - "Yo-de-lay-hee...")
Ghostbusters (when the idiot EPA guy makes them shut down the machine, then the ghosts are released and they terrorize New York, especially the skeleton cab driver)
Labyrinth (the ballroom dance where she's all dolled up and he's trying to seduce her or something, which is sick if you think about it)

Disney's Robin Hood (Hiss the Snake getting drunk on wine)
