| Forgot the 2003 version of Peter Pan. Didn't grow up with it but it's so well done. |

The remake with Lindsay Lohan I actually really good. It's such a shame that she ended up such a train wreck. |

| My son is 3.5, so Disney classics like Dumbo and Lady and the Tramp and things like the Muppets. Loves them. |

Loving that your kids dig Hitchcock - we can't WAIT to introduce our young son to those some day!

| The Sound of Music. DH had not seen it either. (He isn't from the US.) They all loved it! It is such a great story. |

Karate Kid (the original with Ralph Macchio)
Goonies (although DS didn't like it as well as I thought he would) The Bad News Bears (original with Walter Matthau - crass and racist but it gave us a good jumping-off point to discuss those issues + it's much, much funnier than the remake) Rudy (I was in college when it came out but it is a classic to DS!) And, of course, the Star Wars trilogy Looking forward to getting to show him Poltergeist soon! |

My boys are big Star Wars fans.
My older son loves Coming to America. They both have seen Goonies, Planet of the Apes, The Toy (Richard Pryor movie), My youngest really likes Honey I shrunk the kids. We dont celebrate Christmas but we all watch A Christmas Story every year. We love it. Did you know they made a part 2 to this movie? It's pretty bad. |

My now-6 year old watched A Christmas Story last Christmas because she had to stay home from a family gathering with a fever. She LOVED it!
She liked Milo and Otis for a while. And both the Princess Diaries (OK, I wasn't a kid, but I saw both of them in the theater way before she was born...) Oh, and the Muppet movies from when I was around her age - Muppets Take Manhattan and The Great Muppet Caper. She still mostly watches Disney cartoon movies, so a lot of movies we are still waiting on. |
