Movie
"The Hobbit" (1977)
This had to have been one of my favorite movies of all time- well, at least when I was a little kid. From the age when my mom thought that the goblins wouldn't scare the crap out of me, I watched this all the time...I'm surprised I didn't wear the VHS out. I still have it to this day. Even though most people think that the soundtrack was bad (and I guess they're mostly right) the songs were one of my favorite parts of the movie (that and the battles). I especially liked the songs involving the goblins.
Video Game
Pokemon Red (1998)
This was one of the first video games on a system other than PC. While I found the TV show dumb, never really got into the manga; I loved collecting the cards and playing the games. The Pokemon series is still one of my favorite handheld gaming franchises. I remember the first time I played it, I holed myself in my room, sitting on my bean-bag chair and played it from the time I got home from Target to dinner time, and then again after dinner until my mom made me go to bed. I started with Charmander, and I remember having the hardest time beating Brock and Misty until I leveled up my Butterfree and Oddish enough.
TV Show
The Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog (1998-1999)
While looking back now, this show was just a crappy copycat of Power Rangers, but as a kid, I loved this show even though it only lasted for a year. It was about 4 young knights in medieval/mystic Ireland, and many of the episodes involved Celtic myths. I remember I had one of the action figures (Angus- the one 2nd from the right) and I played with that thing a lot. It had many small armor pieces, and I never lost any of them surprisingly enough. To be quite honest, I'd like to get the action figures again, but they're hard to find- especially Ivar's.
