Bambi (2-Disc Special Platinum Edition)Bambi (2-Disc Special Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $9.96
This movie really made an impression on me. There were moments of amazement (Bambi meets Thumper, Flower), shock (Bambi's mother dies), amused (the Owl warning Bambi & friends of love), and terrified (Romo, the dogs, the fire).
Batman - The MovieBatman - The Movie
Buy used from: $3.73
My first favorite TV series that I was hooked on. As a kid, I took it seriously. I now see the humor (e.g. an inventor named Pat Pending), and enjoy it in a different way, but just as much. (I know, this is the movie based on the series.)

A movie that I saw in book form before seeing as a movie. I loved both. My favorite blue meanies were the cat-like butterfly stompers. I enjoyed the movie.
The Archies - Everything's ArchieThe Archies - Everything's Archie by The Archies
The first music album I remember having. I liked the Archies TV show and the comics, and I soon got interested in the band. Actually, my love for the band long surpassed the love for the comics -- they're still one of my favorites.
Archies PartyArchies Party by The Archies

This album was originally titled "Jingle Jangle", and was my favorite album by the Archies.

The Aristocats (Disney Gold Classic Collection)The Aristocats (Disney Gold Classic Collection)

Buy new: $17.97 / Used from: $11.00
One song that I heard snippets on a radio ad was "The Fighting Side Of Me", and this became one of my favorite secular songs. I think it needs to be revived.
Cat BallouCat Ballou
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.94
I enjoyed the movie, but what hooked me was hearing the theme song by Nat King Cole and Stubby Kay over the radio. That is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Tanya Tucker - Greatest Hits [Columbia]Tanya Tucker - Greatest Hits [Columbia] by Tanya Tucker
Buy used from: $3.96
Tanya Tucker was one of my first celebrity crushes. She was (and still is) 4 days short of being exactly a year older than me, but I always liked her better than Marie Osmond, who's closer to my age.
The Bible Story Ten Volume SetThe Bible Story Ten Volume Set
Buy used from: $98.49
This series helped me have as much interest in the Bible as I do. It definitely helped me with my Bible knowledge. There are hints of author Maxwell's 7th Day Adventist theology, but not enough to take away from its benefits.

The monster of the week was one thing that I enjoyed growing up. Of course, if I ever did grow up is debatable.
