Feeling nostalgic? Then you've come to the right place. Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards are right around the corner -- airing on March 31st at 8P.M. on the popular kids channel -- and it got us thinking about the good ol' days. Who doesn't remember curling up on the couch with some popcorn and watching classic movies like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" in the '80s, "Home Alone" in the '90s, and just about every animated movie we could get our hands on?

And the blast from the past doesn't stop there! There are also former child stars, boy bands and tween singers to discuss. Sure, we may not be kids anymore, but we can still have some fun reminiscing while we see current movies and musicians get their orange blimp. They still give out a blimp at those awards, right? ... And we seem to remember something about slime ... Anyway, vote for your childhood favorites on our Nickelodeon Nostalgia Quick Vote!

"Honey, I Shrunk the Kids"

This tells you 'not' to take your family for granite 'more.'

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

Toss up between Ferris and Princess Bride. We often quote lines from each movie and have watched them both over and over.

I find it offensive that some of these GREATS are called 'kids movies'. They are some of the greatest movies made for the entire family. No blood and guts. No repugnant sex. Just GREAT movies.

"Star Wars" (Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi)

The first Back to the Future was great, the other two went down hill. Star Wars & Empire rule.
