Magical Movies of my Childhood
We were all kids once no matter how much time has passed. As a kid born in 1991, I was exposed to many elements of films. Some horror, some action and but most adventure. A handful of films hold a special place in my heart. Movies mainly from early 70's to late 90's. And I didn't include the cartoon movies of my childhood. Enjoy!
