That you think all children/teens should watch. and go!

Any of Elvis' movies! On Encore they had a month of Elvis movies and Adrienne would sit and watch all of them! Any of the Disney movies.

Where the Red Fern Grows :) My girls have been begging to watch it, because there's dogs in it, for years. I think they're just about old enough to see it with me now.

[KristinCB]

kids/family movies:
Honey I Shrunk the Kids


This is the one I introduced my kids to today :D

[nun69]

and yes my kids already LOVE Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (old version)...they call it the "chocolate movie" ♥

[Nixenkind]

The Neverending Story!!!! Totally agree!!!

[navaja77]

Flight of the Navigator :)
I second (third?) Labyrinth, The Neverending Story and Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (original version) - I have all those movies in my home movie collection

Oh, another one I would recommend for kids - The Last Unicorn.

Also Return to Oz which has Fairuza Balk (when she was younger) as Dorothy. It is a cute movie about the sequel to Wizard of Oz when Dorothy returns. I loved it as a kid and so far, my kids enjoy that movie.

[KristinCB]

The Last Unicorn.


Omgosh I was OBSESSED with that as a kid.. my sister could vouch for that, right terra lol?

It was an obsession of watching it over and over but it also TERRIFIED me

[marlathrall]

The Lion King is probably my big one! I LOVE that movie.

[DawnMarch]

Yes - Charlie and Chocolate Factory! That was one of our faves growing up. And the old Pink Panther movies.

For older kids/teens, I'd add the Indiana Jones movies to many that have already been mentioned. We also watched a lot of the "tv" versions of the old James Bond movies. Loved the bad guys in their secret hideouts built into volcanoes, etc. :)

Yes! All of these! I can't believe I forgot Flight of the Navigator. That was a big fave of mine growing up.

Another I forgot about - The Mighty Ducks; Joshua Jackson was a such a cute little kid.
