Favorite Kids Films?

[CountryGent]

So, my wee ones are the age where they can be seeing more films in the genre. My wife she was up in the city today and whilst picking up supplies, added a copy of ET: The Extraterrestrial (alas we both suspect this may be the PC-ified version) and the recent thread concerning Sasquatch reminded me of the picture Harry and the Hendersons.

On that score, what are some of your favorite "kids flicks"? That being live-action films fun, and appropriate, for the younger set. Thanks for sharing.

My kids love Ponyo, must have watched it 100 times.

For myself Starwars and Princess Bride are all that come to mind. We didnt watch much TV growing up.

Goodies, Kindergarten Cop, and Short Circuit are great ones as well. They were also filmed in Oregon. Had them for my kids when they were younger.

"Song of the South. Uncle Remus singing Zipty do da, Zipity eh, my oh my what a wonderful day."

That has been officially declared to be ray-ciss and banned from public display.

I never saw the Princess Bride.

I DID see and enjoy the Second Hand Lions movie.

I like some Disney movies but not all of them.
