Classic movies for kids

[MissT74]

Make them watch A Christmas Story, it's hilarious to kids, imo.

Tough age to crack Wynton. You'll want to get the first choice right or they wont watch the following films.

I know it is much later than what you have in mind, but The Sting could be a good starting point.

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.
