I was born in 1984, but:

-Gummi Bears
-Ducktales
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
-Top Gun (yes, I saw it at the age of five, and it made me want to be a fighter pilot. I made it halfway; I'm a pilot, but not a fighter pilot )
-Raiders of the Lost Ark (yeah...watching the Ark-opening scene as a toddler at night...not the brightest idea. it also sparked an interest in history and archaeology for me)
