12 Nostalgic Movies on Netflix
moviepilot.com

A lot of the time I'm using Netflix to keep me working, which only works if I'm watching something familiar, and what better thing to watch than your favorite childhood movies. Here are some movies you might want to re-visit...

12) E.T, the Extra-Terrestrial

It's a strange movie, no doubt, but it's a classic. An alien has to get back home without being caught by the government on earth.

11) The Land Before Time

Throwing it back to the dinosaur days. Some young dinosaurs travel on their own, running from a deadly foe.

10) Spy Kids

Back in 2001, remember watching this on DVD? Everyone wanted to be a spy, if only for the cool gadgets.

9) Stitch the Movie

This little blue alien will always steal your heart, or at least you will love watching Lilo win his.

8) The Spongebob Squarepants Movie

I'm not even a huge spongebob fan and I've seen this one. I mean who would live in a pineapple under the sea? Then again, he's a sponge, so, I guess the better question is who thought up this show, because props to them.

7) Jimmy Neutron:Boy Genius

You'll laugh at what you thought was amazing as a kid, just like my roommates did.

6) Antz

I mean I still think A Bug's Life is better, but still a pretty good movie.

5) Holes

Good ol' Stanley Yelnats, that's Stanley backwards. I still remember Madame Zeroni's song, "If only, if only, the woodpecker sighs...".

4) Tarzan

This movie will always be in my heart- an all-time favorite, and it's on Netflix. It's a good thing too, because my family only has this on tape.

3) Robin Hood

Another favorite, what can I say, I'm a Disney girl. Watch the fox Robin Hood rebel against the lion Prince John, the phony king of England.

2) Batman

Speaking of Robin, watch Batman and Robin in the old Batman movie which is hilarious and fantastic. It teaches you that you should always have your Shark Repellent Bat-Spray!

1) Back to the Future

So this one isn't as early childhood as the others but no one an deny that Back to the Future is a classic that everyone should see at least once, so thank you Netflix.


What are some old favorites that you got to re-watch on Netflix?

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
