Re: Classic movies for kids
The other suggestion I have is to go for some classic sci-fi.
Day of the Triffids The Fly |

Incredible Shrinking Man for the best 50s scifi movie ever.
What about Singin in the Rain? |

The original Beauty and the Beast, made in France, was incredibly good and is of course a fairy tale. Funny and visually stunning.
The old Universal horror flicks, like Frankenstein and The Invisible Man, are a lot of fun, though not really scary. The Adventures of Robin Hood is good. Old Yeller is too. |

Re: Classic movies for kids
-Alice in Wonderland, Disney, 1951 (may be a bit scary at times)
-As your children will enter puberty soon, Zeffirelli's "Romeo & Juliet" may be a good idea? It's from 1968 though, and contains slight amounts of nudity and violence. I remember having to watch it at about age 13-14, and instantly fell in love with Olivia Hussey (Juliet). I still watch it every now and again, and laugh myself to tears when I see Mercutio prancing around. I love Shakespeare, and I blame it on this movie. |

Re: Classic movies for kids
So, last night we showed my kids - and their cousins who were about the same age - It's a Wonderful Life. And while they said afterwards that it got a little boring in the middle, they were very attentive and actually appeared to like it overall.
Sometimes it's hard to predict what kids will enjoy. |
