What movies did you like as a child that you want your kids to see?

Cafe Society

Bedknobs and Broomsticks

My Mom and I have bonded over discussion of

but, the local Blockbuster does not carry it on DVD, so I’ve never seen it. But it’s on this TV this weekend, so her and I are gonna watch it Sunday morning. ;j I expect goodness.
Recently I saw Taxi Driver, and that movie was just the greatest. But my mom doesn’t want me to see it, so I don’t know if that counts. :smiley:

My son and I are forever bonded through Star Wars. He was 3 (and I was 20) when it came out and I was a FANATIC…one of those weirdos who saw it over 100 times. Because paying a babysitter was more expensive than just taking him, he was with me for most of those viewings. He had to either love it or hate it and me for forcing it on him. Luckily, he loved, and still loves it.

Song of the South – I finally managed to see a version of this (Japanese import) for the first time in like 20 years, and it was as if I’d gone through regression hypnosis or something. I suddenly remembered every single bit of it; I must’ve seen it hundreds of times when I was little.

Other great choices have already been mentioned:
Peter Pan
Robin Hood
The Secret of NIMH
Star Wars
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

If I’m allowed to break from the OP and mention movies that I first saw as an adult but would want my kids to see:
The Iron Giant
The Witches
Fantasia
My Neighbor Totoro
Lilo and Stitch

And finally, not because it’s all that good, but because it’s the first movie I ever saw:
Candleshoe

People have already mentioned Willow, The Princess Bride, Star Wars, and The Wizard of Oz. I would also throw in Shirley Temple’s The Little Princess and Heidi.

I thought of another swell movie I saw in the mid-60’s as a child:

A High Wind in Jamaica

A decidedly unsentimental story of children who, by a quirk of fate, end up on a pirate’s ship. Anthony Quinn was splendid, as was the girl who played the ringleader of the children.
Unfortunately, this movie never seems to be on TV anymore, and I can’t find it in the video stores.

I’ll don’t have and never will have kids, but this would be my choice. Second choice would probably be Apollo 13.
