Favorite Childhood Movies

      One beneift of growing up in the United States are the movies! :) There are many classics and many new ones coming out all the time, but two movies that have stuck with me throughout my childhood are The Sandlot and Forest Gump.


         The Sandlot is about a boy ( Scotty Smalls) growing up in the 1960`s , who is new to town, and really wants to learn how to play baseball and to make new friends. He soon is taken under the wing of Rodrigez, a boy in his neighbor hood who is amazing at baseball. Soon Smalls fits into Rodrige`s group of baseball friends. Together they all play in the sandlot, an old baseball feild. Behind the back fence of the sandlot lies `The Beast`. After hitting a ball, signed by Babe Ruth, over the fence to where the beast is they go on an adventure trying to retreive it. I love ,love, love this movie! It`s a classic in the United States, and it`s one that is quoted all the time.
         Another Classic that is special to me is Forest Gump. Forest Gump is about a man who throughout his life is not very smart, but has been present at many historical points in time, and acheived many great things. However, Although he has doen so much in life with so little, his one love (Jenny) always eludes him. This is another movie that is quoted all the time, and is a classic. It also has a really good message, I think- That if you put a little effort into life you will be plesantly suprised with the outcomes.
Both of these movies are great period pieces ang both carry great messages!
These are just some of the ones that were special to me growing up. :)
