Best kids' movies of all time

[Henrietta23]

It was brought to my attention that our DVD library is rather pathetic and since DS is NOT getting the $150 Harry Potter Lego set he thinks he wants (but would build and never play with again) I thought a few classic DVDs would be much more manageable gifts. Suggestions? Your favorites (He's 8 and has eclectic tastes)

My 8 yo DS is totally into the MacGyver and Dukes of Hazzard series.

What was I watching at that age?

Monty Python

war movies... I loved the Great Escape, Heartbreak Ridge....

I liked musicals a lot. And really old classics like Gone With the Wind...

And I liked just about anything where people got blown up. Old westerns, war movies, sci fi movies (I loved Battlestar!!!), mech cartoons, horror movies....

What's appropriate for that age?

Goonies my 9yr old loved it. ARRRR!!!.... The Dark Crystal.... The Secret of Nim.....


I just won my daugter a box of 15 disney type dvds off evilbay for 12.00 shipped to me.

5 unopen too

Titles like
Skrek
Homeward Bound
Sandlot
Nemo
Haunted House
Space Monkeys
etc etc and so on

I would type in Kids dvd lot

We don't have cable. Haven't for 6 yrs and so we do movie nights instead with popcorn off the woodstove. YUMM!!!!

I'm not sure about age appropriateness, but I think 'Goonies' is a must!

 

[Blackbird]

Oh, I remember another, The Adventures of Milo and Otis.
I don't know, at that age I was either watching showed that weren't age appropriate or watching series on 'TV Land', such as I Love Lucy, Leave It To Beaver, I Dream of Jeannie, etc.

I second The Secret of Nihm, if it was anything like the books.

Muppet Treasure Island!!! My boys and I still get a kick out of it now that they are all grown up....the music rocks! So funny!

Old Yeller
Shane
The Yearling
Davy Crockett...all of them.
Where the Red Fern Grows
MacClintock
Babe~wonderfully humorous!
Freaky Friday
Hocus Pocus


I have boxes of movies upstairs from when the kids were growing up...and every once in awhile we pull them out and watch them all! The boys still love their old movies...we have hundreds!
