Those of us who has noticed the propaganda in today's kiddie shows (children constantly teaching adults is one theme) may want to load up on some of the best alternatives.

THE BLUE MAX, 1966 Boys are bound to love this adventure in biplanes and triplanes. Good flying, but I wouldn't show it to my boys ... the adultery is a bit much.

A few more (but it depends on the age of the kids viewing): FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, RED BADGE OF COURAGE, ELMER GANTRY, and GREAT EXPECTATIONS.

My suggestion is the Horatio Hornblower series (8 shows total) from A&E - available on both DVD & video. They're well done high-seas adventures and promote values such as: loyalty, honesty, wisdom, friendship, learning...
They are enjoyed at my house by both buoys and gulls.
Available at both rental stores and many libraries. I suggest watching them in order.

I feel it is something of a sin for a sixth-grader to see a movie like GREAT EXPECTATIONS before reading the book OTH I think something should be done for uncultured yobs like me who never read Galsworthy's Forsythe Saga, Trollope's Palliser novels, Jane Eyre, or Pride and Prejudice before seeing them properly interpreted on the screen.

"Tuck Everlasting"
"Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" (with Margaret O'Brien) This little actress sure could cry and make the audience cry. Little girls will love it.

The Seven Samurai, while a terrific film, is a tad violent.

THE BLUE MAX, 1966 Boys are bound to love this adventure in biplanes and triplanes. To say nothing of Ursula Andress Andressing in a towel.

All time great kid movie is the Wizard of Oz.
My kids all liked the Shirley Temple movies.
Lord of the Rings movies for older kids(violent, but no bad language or sex, and a great message)
We also like Signs. It's one of my girls favorite movies, and I like it's message about faith.
There is a DVD version of Donny Osmond in Andrew Lloyd Weber's The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat that is a great DVD. It's has great music, a great Bible story, and it is very colorful. I love the music!
I'll have to think about some other ones.

The value of Sargent York and High Noon cannot be forgotten, or just about any John Wayne flick. It's a Wonderful Life is a classic, as well as Come to the Stable, which makes me cry everytime I watch it. I also like To Each His Own, a real tearjerker about adoption. I really loved Of Human Hearts (1938) with James Stewart. In fact, 1938-1939 was the best year(s) ever in the history of movie-making in the US. Rent any of them and you have a winner.

I would include the Pink Panther movies starring Peter Sellers, the old Herbie movies starring Dean Jones, The Man from Snowy River, The African Queen, The Ghost and Mr Chicken (starring Don Knotts), Parent Trap (the Haley Mills version), and Tron.
My daughter and her girl cousins also like the old musicals such as My Fair Lady, Gigi, Mary Poppins, The Music Man, etc.
