Any of the Indiana Jones series. A close second would be Jurassic Park.

How were you punished as a child?
All kidding aside, I was basically spanked or had a privilege removed--like Nintendo playing time or something like that. Sure, they told me I deserved to be punished more. Sure, when they were my age, THEIR parents forced them to sleep outside naked or walk backwards up a steep hill with a boulder chained to their neck. I had it easy. No more Super Mario Brothers for a week and that's it.
I say they had it easy.

Not being entirely serious on most things here. My priorities aren't this out of whack.
- I'd throw caution to the wind and then incessantly try to catch it.
- I'd go to every one of my friends here and just let them know I appreciated their friendship, apologize for causing a huge ruckus, and then proceed to give out matching pairs of socks to everyone
- I'd divide my possessions accordingly: my laptop computer (which would be mysteriously wiped out of all my information) will be left probably with Mayra because she could use a good computer. My Guild Wars account will be left with Mr. Aaron Soltero to do with as he pleases (not that I have anything particularly rare). I'd leave Megan Haley with some Cookies 'n Cream poptarts (long story). My Tempus Encyclopedia-- the ENTIRE story already planned out-- will be left with dear Rachel. All my drawings will be locked in a secret compartment in a generically large building in some city's downtown area.
- I'd go to Austin to tell my friend Alyssa's sister, Rita, to stop being so full of herself. Then I'd tell Alyssa that I hope she can find another person to get songs for her, because it would be kind of hard when I'm dead.
- I'd leave the state and visit Rachel and Melissa.
- Each visit to each one of my friends above will end in an abrupt departure with a cryptic note left behind that says, "See you later."
- I will then travel to Japan and spend my remaining time there playing chess with all sorts of Japanese people.
- I will arrange for my body to mysteriously vanish without a trace.
- I will secretly hire a duplicate me whose only purpose is to walk about in crowds and disappear suddenly so that people will wonder if I'm really dead.
