Kiddie Cinema

Every once in a while, a movie comes on TV and I just can't wait until my kid is old enough to watch it. I love movies and I want to share them with the little ones. I have a little while to wait so I thought I'd share with you. Here is my list of

8 Great Movies From My Childhood
1) Goonies- isn't this on everyone's list? From the treasure to the cool "water slides" to the bad guys, it just doesn't get any better than this.

2) Return Of The Jedi- from the Ewoks to the revelation of what Darth Vader looked like under that scary mask, this is a must.

3) Revenge Of The Nerds- my parents let us watch anything so I saw this at like 7 years old. So inappropriate but soooooo funny.

4) Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory- way better than that POS they put out a few years ago with Johnny Depp. The music and Gene Wilder make this the classic that it is.

5) Labyrinth- can this be the same Jennifer Connelly from Requiem For A Dream? It is and David Bowie is a great bad guy. The puppetry is from Jim Henson so it is just a great flick all around!

6) The Princess Bride- a great love story made palatable for kids? Inconceivable!

7) The Parent Trap- Not the one with La Lohan. The 1963 original with Hailey Mills. It is awesome. Of course there is music involved. I wish I could find this somewhere on DVD.

8) The Pirate Movie- if I had seen this as an adult, I would have hated it. It is cheesy and silly but as a kid that totally appealed to me. I also got a small dose of culture with this one because this is a take off of The Pirates Of Penzance.
