When I watch a wonderful movie these days, or remember a movie I used to love watching as a kid, I daydream about future family movie nights, curling up on the couch with Em tucked comfortably between me and C, with a bucket of homemade popcorn for us all to share. I've already started composing a "short list" of the movies I hope Emmy loves as much as I do. The age-appropriateness of the films varies quite a bit, but there are some that I hope we will be able to revisit at different ages, as Em's sense of humor and understanding of the world develops.
I'm sure I will have lots more to add, but here is my starting list. Feel free to make your own suggestions!
- The Dark Crystal
- Despicable Me
- The Iron Giant
- E.T.
- Edward Scissorhands
- The Little Mermaid
- How to Train Your Dragon
- The Muppet Movie (the original)
- The Music Man (the original)
- Never Ending Story
- The Secret of Nimh
- All Dogs Go To Heaven
- Up
- Paper Moon
- Savannah Smiles
- The entire Faerie Tale Theater television series - I wish they would re-broadcast this amazing program.
