So we do see movies! We see a lot of good ones, stories that are not too "baby-ish" according to my 6 year old boy, and we are careful not to have movies that will incite nightmares or are overly scary. My kids do like suspense and drama and LOVE to laugh. I thought it would be great to share favorites. We are always looking for good movies and find many, but may miss some due to uncertainty in the description.
I thought maybe referring and sharing what we like and love would be helpful to someone. The movies we find the kids love with us are old timers as well as new ones. And it gives us an archive of our favorites, doesn't it. We'll keep letting you know what we have seen and like, maybe you'll share some of your favorites with us.
With Netflix, Streaming Netflix, multiple TV Movie options and so many other ways to find movies from long ago or lately through our current media connections we have a few favorites that we can go to again and again. Lately favorites have been:
Mrs. Doubtfire
The Pink Panther (old, new - not the cartoon - any of them)
GI Joe
Made for TV Movie: Tin Man
Dreamer (with Dakota Fanning)
The Sandlot
and Kiki's Delivery Service.
Review #1:
Kiki's Delivery Service is a Japanese animated movie that is truly charming. A young witch travels to a new city to begin her life and discovers a need for a delivery service in the city (by broom of course). She, Kiki, is befriended by a few kind souls who aren't afraid to believe in her good heart as she learns about life and how to believe her herself, no matter what. Not in anyway overbearing; this story is sweet and funny and beautifully animated. Kiki is a witch who will live "happily ever after" in her new home town. My oldest saw this movie when she was 4 years old and requests it still at the age of 10 in order to share it with her brother (6) and friends.
(We got this on Netflix - mailed.)
