OT/Maybe? - Interests you had as a child

A couple of those on your list:

Dinosaurs. Jurrassic Park was one of the first movies I saw in theater an was captivated by the idea of these giant lizard like animals roaming the planet at one point (I was devastated when I found out dinosaurs probably looked more giant birds).

I was quite enthralled by Greek Mythology (I used to watch the old Hercules show with Kevin Sorbos) and quite enjoyed the Disney Hercules movie. I was a huge fan of the God of War games for a while.

I didn’t really have any. I liked hunting arrowheads. I had a nice collection that I lost somewhere along the way. 

    The airplane was mostly completed by the time I happened along. I remember news of the Boeing 777, but I was not much impressed.

    I've always had a fascination with the wooden sailing ships that brought Europeans to America. In my sleeping dreams I was often standing on the deck of one.

    I was six when the Mercury Program began and about fourteen when men landed on the Moon. I followed all the missions and their specific goals. The space program literally framed my childhood.

    A world dominated by lizards never appealed to me at all.

    I was already twenty years old when the movie Jaws was released. I was finished with the beach anyway.

    I was always very fascinated with ancient Greece and Rome. I drew pictures of the buildings and "wonders of the world" in my notebooks.  It was the beginning of modern politics.

    Every year about Easter / Passover time the TV would show The Ten Commandments and The Wizard of Oz. I very much enjoyed watching both as much as I did the first time, which was a lot.

    There was a movie in 1960, The Hand, about a dismembered crawling hand that scared all the kids I knew.

    Before people realized the original NES would turn out to be such a major consumer of otherwise valuable time, we enjoyed it. We finished Mario Bros. III one weekend.
