Favorite Kid Films

As I continue to contemplate retirement from blogging, I do feel compelled to call up a list of some of our favorites; films we really enjoyed when K was roughly 10 to 12 years old and we could get him to watch a movie. Now, he's much more social, and is a skateboarding fiend, meaning he spends a lot of time at the nearby indoor skate park. Much better than couch potato-ing (with TV, X-box and laptop), so we have no complaints.

First, you can start with the movies (like Little Manhattan, Iron Giant) that are linked to their graphic images below (far left), as those are definitely some favorites. Regarding Planet of the Apes, I'll point out that K and his dad watched the entire series of films and loved them all (I've seen three).

Here are some other titles we highly recommend (in no particular order):

The Prisoner TV series (PG)

Never Cry Wolf (PG)

Nanook of the North (G)

Blindsight (PG)

War Games (PG)

In the Shadow of the Moon (PG)

Rivers and Tides (G)

Incredible Shrinking Man (PG)

Drums Along the Mohawk (PG)

Jackie Chan: Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (PG)

True Grit (PG)
