Classic movies to introduce the kids to...

[DMAC]

I need some movies you loved as a kid to add to my netflix. Saturday night is movie night for the kids (SIX & FOUR) and they have got hooked on classic stuff.

It all started with Flight of the Navigator. Since then,

Indiana Jones, Goonies, Pee Wee, Explorers, Sandlot, Star Wars...

I need some more. They are very demanding.

[Stewie]

October Sky. It's the movie about the kid growing up in a mining town that builds model rockets. Great flick.

[mnchiefsguy]

The original Willy Wonka and the Choclate Factory is a good one, not sure why that popped into my head, although my kids did watch it about a month ago.

[MoreLemonPledge]

E.T.

[Donger]

I don't know how old your kids are, but mine think Princess Bride is hilarious.

[Donger]

I let my girl watch Raiders a few weeks ago. She's terrified of spiders. Nice parenting, Dad.

[DMAC]

I don't know how old your kids are, but mine think Princess Bride is hilarious.

Good one!

They are 6 and 4

[Donger]

Good one!

They are 6 and 4

Just my opinion, but I wouldn't let kids watch Raiders without skipping a few scenes.

I thinkI remember watching that; good flick.

[DMAC]

Just my opinion, but I wouldn't let kids watch Raiders without skipping a few scenes.

The only scene I can think of is the face melting scene.

My kids are pretty thick skinned.

Hell I think I watched raiders at 4 or 5 ish

[DeezNutz]

Ghostbusters.

That's right. That man has no dick.

[Msmith]

E.T. is one of my favorites. Kids cried in the theater every time.

Willie Wonka promotes honesty, a rare trait in our culture nowadays.

Princess Bride shows that a good old story always beats out computer gadget.

I would add The Wizard of Oz.

That and the scene near the start with the guy who takes the idol and gets squished through the head.

[ClevelandBronco]

Mr. Mom

Although, now that I think about it, you may have to explain the concept of adultery to them.

[DeezNutz]

To Kill a Mockingbird.

[BigMeatballDave]

Back to the Future trilogy. I introduced that to my son when he was 6. He loved it. He's 12 now and has dicovered Seinfeld. He loves that, too. Chip off the ol block.

Never heard of Time Bandits...

It's a Terry Gilliam(Monty Python) directed flick. It's pretty bad ass. Your kids will dig it.

I was going to say Babe, that movie with the pig, but if they're watching stuff like Raiders of the Lost Ark, maybe something like Master and Commander.
Maybe the old Superman with Christopher Reeve.

Not too classic, but "Little Giants"..loved that movie when i was a kid.

[siberian khatru]

The original Willy Wonka and the Choclate Factory is a good one, not sure why that popped into my head, although my kids did watch it about a month ago.

Absolutely. I saw it when it first came out, when I was 5, and was enthralled with it. I still love it and watch it regularly.

I also saw "Silent Running" when I was 6, it had a huge impact on me. Not exactly happy-happy, joy-joy, but neat special effects and little robots.

I grew up with parents who loved musicals and whenever we travelled they would play the soundtracks on the 8-track. It was many years later before I actually saw many of the musicals but I still love the songs to this day. Sound of Music, Music Man, and Fiddler on the Roof have my favorite songs.

You could always throw in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and Willow.

I already mentioned that one, and I think it'd be good except there's a scene of one of the kids unfolding the centerfold of a Playboy. There's some brief nudity, which he may not want his 4- and 6-year-old to see.

When I was a little kid my older cousins took me to Smokey and the Bandit. I thought it as cool, but I don't know how well it would hold up. Could be really cheesy.

[gblowfish]

You know, this thread reminds me of a funny story. My 90-year old grandma was always really hard to buy Christmas presents for. You know, she had really everything she needed on a daily basis, and you can only buy so many bird feeders or quilts before enough is enough. So one year, I thought I'd buy her a movie -among other small gifties. She loved animals, so for some reason I thought "Ace Ventura Pet Detective" might be good. So I buy it, and Christmas night, we're visiting Grandma and put it on TV. I forgot about the scene where he's talking with his ass...and other really rude stuff.

Grandma thought it was really funny and said she hadn't laughed that hard in a long time.

You go, Grandma!!

[KC_Connection]

Man, I'm still scarred from my daughter watching that stupid movie 8 million times. That movie was in Barney territory.
It's actually a pretty good movie in retrospect (made by the Pixar people before Pixar existed), but young kids really shouldn't watch it. The themes are too dark and there are so many scenes like this one.

So don't crank out kids that love crappy movies. It will be all your fault, heh.

Savannah Smiles Reviews
Rating: PG · Run time: 1 hrs 47 min · Year: 1982
Synopsis: Savannah Smiles is a sweet little film that proved a surprising hit on the Saturday matinee circuit… Read full synopsis

Synopsis: Savannah Smiles is a sweet little film that proved a surprising hit on the Saturday matinee circuit. Mark Miller and Donovan Scott play a pair of good-natured escaped convicts who cross the path of precocious runaway Bridgette Andersen. When Andersen explains that she's hit the road because her wealthy parents neglect her, Miller and Scott decide to hold the kid for a huge ransom. You and I both know that the crooks will turn soft before the end, and return Andersen to her folks without a dollar changing hands, but even predicting the film's outcome cannot diminish its charm. Star Mark Miller, who also scripted Savannah Smiles, is the father of actress Penelope Ann Miller

Any body else remember this movie? A sweet movie funny & sad iirc.

[Pioli Zombie]

The Passion of the Christ

[Rain Man]

Any of the old Disney films with Kurt Russell: The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes, The World's Strongest Man, etc.

Thinking about it now, it's funny that they cast a white guy as the strongman who was found in the African jungle.

[Hammock Parties]

I think Krull would be a little scary for kids that young.

Kids will acclimate to anything, but for my money, it's a good age for the willie wonkas, the apple dumpling gangs, the old disney stuff.

I used to try old disney stuff, and was real excited about it at the time. Sword in the stone, alladin, jungle book, etc. They were not interested for some reason. 80s classics really catch their attention though... Im not forcing anything on them. Superman, indy (they loved it), goonies, ghostbusters, etc. They sit glued to these. All of these are rated PG, and im sitting there right with them.

I think Krull would be a little scary for kids that young.

I disagree. Krull is awesome.

Then Alice cuts out the dragons tounge. I took my son to see this in 3D :eek:

Great kids movie I tell ya...

[Hammock Parties]

Holy shit, why haven't I seen the new Alice.

[Hammock Parties]

I disagree. Krull is awesome.

It's awesome but scary, scary, scary. I think I might wait til 10-12.

[pr_capone]

Holy fuck how could I forget my 3 fav Disney flicks?

Holy shit, why haven't I seen the new Alice.

watched it twice, once sober and once not.

sucked hard both times.

[Rasputin]

It's a bad ass movie you would love it. Although it has a pg rating it really should get R for the violence in it, imo. For a kids movie it is little extreme.

[KS Smitty]

The Love Bug (before Lindsey) were pretty funny.

Dark Chrystal
Labyrinth
Princess Bride
ET
Muppets Take Manhattan
Goonies
Stand by Me ( may take them awhile to appreciate all of it)
Sinbad and the 7 Seas
Legend
Clash of the Titans

[BigChiefFan]

Without looking through the entire thread. Old Yeller would be a top pick.

[kregger]

My kids really liked "Honey, I shrunk the Kids". A lot of other good ones mentioned, I hadn't seen this one.
Princess Bride is great, that's one I can watch over and over with them.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Dick Tracy.


YES!!!

[Fire Me Boy!]

Why don't you just have the operation and get it over with?

Ha. Oh my. So funny. So unique. Why hadn't anyone else thought of calling a guy who likes musicals gay? You're so inventive.

Some people have a bit of culture, enjoy good films, appreciate good music and fine arts. It just so happens Time recently named Singin' in the Rain as having one of the top 10 soundtracks of all time. The Sound of Music is a best picture Oscar winner. These are truly remarkable, enjoyable films.

I feel sad for you that you'll let the stereotype (ignorant as it is) of men who like musicals determine what you can enjoy. You're a sad, ignorant ****. No go watch Cobra and leave me alone.

Martin Scorsese loves Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I haven't seen it, but I would. Singing in the Rain is classic. Not sure that a 4-6 year old would like it.

I saw it at a dinner theatre once. It was ok. I doubt a 4-6 year old would love it.

Brides or Singing?

[Fire Me Boy!]

Jenson, blaise, you're probably correct. I doubt kids that young would enjoy it much. They might, however, enjoy The Sound of Music or Oliver!, especially since both of those films prominently feature children.

If you're open to musicals, I highly recommend Seven Brides. Very funny, very good. I've never seen it on stage, though.

[JonesCrusher]

My kids are 8 and 6....i showed them Pee Wee's big Adventure a few months ago and they loved it.

My kids love the Large Marge scene, they watch it over and over.

[Hammock Parties]

How about ...SPORTS MOVIES!!!

I showed them the sandlot about a month ago.

Seen it about 5 times since, along with sandlot 2 & 3 (which are so bad).

[Jenson71]

Have they seen Planet Earth?

[Kclee]

Short Circuit

[blaise]

Brides or Singing?

Brides.

I think something like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or Bedknobs and Broomsticks could be good.

[Groves]

Don't forget the "schoolhouse rock" series. Just the other day I learned what a predicate is!

[Hammock Parties]

ooh! ooh! This one blew me away when I was a kid.
