DAR Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 So if you had a kid or are an aunt, uncle, older brother, sister etc. What films would you show to a younger child to start them on the path to movie watching.Well there's Star Wars of course. Wizard of Oz. Of course you'd show them many of the animated classics from Walt Disney's era and of course the 90's. Most of Pixar. I personally would show some Marx Brothers. ET, the first two Harry Potter's.Those are just starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Saw I-III and VI. In all seriousness Indy, Toy Story and Star Wars are essential family viewing from at least 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 My youngest sister is a huge Potter fan because I introduced her to the movies. I also introduced her to Pixar films, Dinsey classics, Jurassic Park, The Mummy + The Mummy Returns, and a few others I keep forgetting.So, basically, a lot of her childhood films are identical to mine.

IndustriousAngel Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 You can trust Disney where it concerns kids. Dumbo, Aristocats, The Lion King ... (to name a few highlights from different eras) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Harry Potter, and of course Disney films like my personal favorite, Aladdin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloneWars Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I guess it depends on what they can handle. Some people suggested Indiana Jones. However, the first two are pretty intense. LOTR has some epic battle scenes, but I think are safe. Same goes for Star Wars.Toy Story is a must. The Lion King. Beauty and the Beast. Most kids seem to love the first Cars. To be honest, beyond that, I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AASixteen16 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Jurassic Park trilogy, Batman (90's), Spider-Man, TRANSFORMERS trilogy is a must, POTC although I'm not sure if they would exactly be intrigued by it, HP series of course (although I would cut them off at GOF), PIXAR films are also a must, Rango, Shrek series, Puss In Boots, Dinosaur, Ice Age series, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.

rockNrollaDIM Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Shame.Especially if it were Michael Fassbender's kid. :lol: :lol:He's gonna have alot of explaining to do some day about this one.

Warhorse Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Eh, I got some baby cousins and the first movies I showed them were Rainbow Brite and The Chimpmunk Adventure, then later on Cars and Finding Nemo they loved too. We've yet to watch a live action movie together though. I'm thinking of showing them Flight of the Navigator or The Goonies, I liked those movies when I was a kid.

egoplant Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 If he doesn't like movies, don't make him watch them to "set him on a path of movie watching". He doesn't have to have the same hobby as you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I can't believe it took till post 18 for GOONIES to get a mention. Depending on how we define kid and what their "flinch" mechanisms are. Those saying INDY may forget about the Mummies, snakes, spiders and bloody bodies both in the intro and closing scenes. Indy to a tween for sure...a 6-8yr old probably not. Back to the Future for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
