Bad Attitudes. 1991.
I think this is the most obscure movie I own. It was made for TV, and was apparently forgotten almost immediately. In fact, my only evidence of its existence is the very same VHS copy which I used to rent from my local video store every week for a year (I was later able to purchase it from them).
The story is about five kids who are being sent to a crappy summer camp, and have been dropped off at the airport by their respective guardians. None of them want to go to the camp, so they try to escape. One kid, being from a wealthy family, spots a private jet belonging to a friend of his father, and they all stow away on board, hoping the plane's owner won't give them away.
The plane is then hijacked by two inept terrorists who think the kids all belong to the plane owner's family, and decide to take them as hostages. The rich kid admits that he has been taught some basics on how to fly the plane, so the terrorists make him take off, hoping to get to Switzerland.
The kids don't want to go to Switzerland either, so they rebel against the terrorists and eventually manage to tie them up. That's the end of their troubles, until it turns out there's a ticking time bomb on board - and that the 11-year-old pilot was never told how to LAND the plane!
(Dang... Now I want to go watch it again!)

Oh god, practically any movie. I was the type of kid that could watch a film, not really understand any of the plot details at all, and then watch it again just for the sake of it.
More recently, I watched the first Matrix movie a couple of times in a week since my brother had it on his shelf and I realised that I must be the only person on the planet who hasn't seen it. I tried watching the first half-hour of Reloaded, but I found the downgrade too immense to keep watching so I just went back and watched the original again.

I think we're a the point where "the book was better" is true for everything except The Godfather. Although, I have to go with Pink Floyd's The Wall. FC is close second, though.Volafortis said:
Casper, Ace Ventura, Peter Pan, Lion King and Hercules were my big ones as a child.
Oh and the Pokemon movie of course.

There was about a year and a half when I was seven or eight where every week my parents would take me to the rental place and I'd get the 50's versions of 20000 Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Center of the Earth. I've probably seen those two movies a couple of hundred times each.
Also, Star Wars, Toy Story, and Frankenweenie.
