My daughter and I watch a movie every night, we don't watch TV otherwise. We're quickly getting through all we want to watch and are running out of ideas. Just finished the Narnia series, about to start on the Lord of the Rings Trio. We'll watch the Terminator series. Sound of music. Anything. All genres would be good. I'd like to cover Westerns, foreign, Anime, Action, adventure, comedy anything !!!

What's you favourite movies of all time. Suitable for a 12 y/o. No explicit sex Scenes, but themes ok. Not too much horror, gore is ok, but not prefered.

I'd also like to introduce some education without being obvious like, history, geography and politics.

Whenever I get to the movie store I get a mental blank, so I'd like to take a list in.

I need 190 movies! Go!

    Star wars is a great series.I always liked the obvious teen movies in the 80's like the Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller's Day off. Have you guys watched E.T yet? Or Grease(the original)?

    Hmmm.
    Check out The Court Jester with Danny Kaye. The Princess Bride. Legend is great--Tim Curry is one of the most underrated actors. Sleep Hollow's a lot of fun
