Fight Club

[Wes ManTooth]

Animal House

[TheIrishThug]

i actually know a kid that isn't 14 yet and has seen animal house more times than i have.

[Uston]

As great as it is, I doubt there are few under the of 14 that wouldn't hate The Bicycle Thief. The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, Babe, and Matilda would top my list.

The Iron Giant, Babe

[/ QUOTE ]

These are particularly solid choices, in my opinion. Toy Story and Spirited Away from the original list would be quite good as well. I'm not familiar with several of the originally listed movies, so it's hard for me to judge fully.

Your brainpower is excessively taxed by adding the word "age" where it was obviously left out? I'm sorry to hear that, man.

[mmbt0ne]

Yup, it was the lack of "age" that did it. Not the triplicate usage of negatives prefaced by "great."

[M2d]

Do the Right Thing

Edit
also, Farewell to Manzanar

I only count two (I doubt, wouldn't hate), the great clearly refers to The Bicycle Thief, and I think it's all still understandable.

If he'd phrased it as aren't many, that would be different. This isn't the same thing.

My point is that if we're going to say that "are few" is the same thing as "aren't many" in terms of using negatives, then I might as well point out that "is" = "is not not not not not not" and accuse myself of using a sextuple negative.

Keep fighting the good fight, gumpzilla, but it was an awkwardly worded sentence that was missing a word. Clearly, it needed to be parsed multiple times.

[swede123]

Definitely the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings movies.

Goonies and Stand By Me

wow, those were the first 2 movies i thought of actually, i just didn't post them.

i'd feel kind of bad for wanting my kid to enjoy the same 80s awesomeness as me though. but really, stuff like sixteen candles &amp; pretty in pink too... there's just too many good movies i watched when i was a kid !

What age do you think is a go for LOTR? Some of that orc and Uruk-hai stuff is pretty intense.

When the leader of the Uruks is drawing down on Boromir with his bow, hell, that gives me nightmares.

[imported_anacardo]

I can hardly believe that The Princess Bride doesn't make this list.

[pryor15]

i refuse to live in a world where "Hoosiers" isn't on the list of 50. and if it isn't on the list, i'll pretend it is.

obviously the disney classics, Cassablanca, To Kill a Mockingbird, Harvey, stuff like that to ensure the kid doesn't have a bias against the classics.

[ChipWrecked]

Harvey? You really want your kid to grow up to be a drunk?

if my kids grew up to be as nice as Elwood, i think i wouldn't mind if they were drunks.

plus, it's a damn good film.

[ChipWrecked]

I'm just kidding really. It's a classic. But Jimmy Stewart does a helluva lot of drinking in it.
