Mine is STAND BY ME (for the nostalgia). My brother and our two friends would watch that movie and then re-enact many of the scenes (e.g. train tracks, camping in the woods at night). One of my friends had a BB gun and we'd take it everywhere with us (in place of the pistol).

Could I also add THE LITTLE MERMAID? After all, it was a movie and it was released in 1989, and it was my favorite at the time.
