Fifty Movies

[valarltd]

I want my children to have a working cinematic vocabulary, one not limited to the latest animated release.

So, my challenge to you, faithful readers, is name 5 movies you consider essential, and are appropriate for ages 8 and up.

Star Wars, Star Trek and Indiana Jones are covered.

On our planned viewing list:
Frankenstein (Karloff)
Dracula (Lugosi)
Young Frankenstein
Robin Hood (Flynn)
Captain Blood
Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Metropolis
Singing in the Rain

'Bringing Up Baby' starring Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, and a tiger.
Another good Cary Grant movie is 'Gunga Din.'
