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

Copying some already mentioned, but these are my favorites from around 8+ for me:

Gone with the Wind
The Sound of Music
The Princess Bride
Highlander (1, no sequels)
Willow
Amadeus


And of course, The Wizard of Oz. But who hasn't seen that already?
