[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think these have a lot of profanity or sex, but I encourage you to check Common Sense Media or the IMDB Parent’s Guide.

Jumanji
Nim’s Island
Akeelah and the Bee
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Star Wars
Sound of Music

These might be too much like the Disney fairy tales you’re burnt out on, but they’re really well done adaptations that offer different takes:
Ever After
Ella Enchanted
Hook (caution, a child dies at the end)

Also, Disney had a lot of live action movies like:
Night at the Museum
Sky High
Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Honey I Shrunk the Kids

Classic movies are great. Decades of great filmmaking that was generally clean.  Restricting profanity is likely to severely restrict more current options. I absolutely respect you selecting movies according to your family values. Our family just said that movies/TV was not the place to learn vocabulary, and that seemed to work for us. Especially after they started school, I assumed they were probably hearing a lot of the language there, anyway.
