The Dark Crystal, The Muppet Movie, Pee-Wee, Bill and Ted, The Last Unicorn, Snoopy Come Home, The Black Cauldron. I'd think twice on some of the more obvious Disney films they aren't needed there are plenty of family films worth more then half the Disney films. You don't live inside my mothers head do you? The Dark Crystal, The Last Unicorn and The Black Cauldron are some of her favorite movies! They are just really good films. I guess I liked them as a kid because they were a little different to what I usually had to endure. I liked the darker themes and settings. They might not have been top class movies but they were good enough. The original Land Before Time was a good movie. As most kids I loved Dinosaurs when I watched it and it was great, not so keen on any of the sequels but the original was good. The original Flintstones as well with John Goodman was a fun family movie and I don't think that one has aged much either, still enjoyable to this day. We have to add The Simpsons movie? Surely? I mean it might have came out when the youngest of us were teens but that is probably the "biggest" movie we are likely to witness in itself. No one ever thought they'd go to film and they did... With mixed results. If anything it deserves to be on there purely for getting away with being a family movie with some of those jokes in it! Agreed that the Muppet movies should possibly be separate as there are so many of them and some of them shocking, therefore I guess anything goes with Disney movies. Monsters Inc, Up! (again not something from our childhood but something we've all seen), Finding Nemo all deserve a mention and to be quiet honest Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty do too. Coraline, the film based on Neil Gaimans story, not a great film but a different film and something you should watch purely for that reason. It isn't bad and therefore I see it getting overlooked a lot. I'm starting to get closer to modern films, I guess it is purely because my childhood was a long time ago and I still do watch kids films. I mean Frankenweenie and Paranorman were pretty much two of the best films out last year! I wouldn't put them on there, or I would a little lower again, because they haven't had to deal with any test of time really. Saying that The Corpse's Bride is a much underrated gem from Burton. Going back to when I was a kid, there was a dinosaur movie... Live action, can not remember the name for the life of me but I loved it.
