Re: Movies to watch with your kids
Have you tried any of Kurosawa's samurai movies? They've got lots of character development, of course they've got that Japanese thing going, and they have some action too. Plus they're legit classics, and good enough to watch over and over again. They're not inappropriate for kids, either, I don't think. There's lots of killing of people, but it's not done in a gory way, so no upsetting the kids or exposing them to too harsh stuff worries there.
On the Chinese front, I would have happily eaten up the Once Upon a Time in China series(3 flicks) as a kid. With Jet Li, who I don't even care for all that much, but he's great in these movies. I'm an especially big fan of the second one. It's an enjoyable character, a real do-gooder patriot. I guess most everything Jackie Chan has ever done is good for kids, too. Though most of the films aren't that great unless you like Chan or just kung fu flicks. The Once Upon a Time in China films stand up a little better just as films. |

Six to seven year old girls LOVE The Sound Of Music.
Also find the 1993 version of The Secret Garden. Some girls will like the Star Wars movies, some will not. E.T. Bend It Like Beckham works well. |

Re: Here are some great movies
My daughter is at that age, not sure about watching all the films together but films she likes and has in her room at the moment and watches often are
Ghostbusters (Got the I and II box set) Matilda (Roahl Dahl story) Princess Diaries Lord of the Rings Harry Potter Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson (mr Bean) and more importantly Natalie Imbrulia looking totally gorgeous throughout) Red Dwarf (Uk Series) Dr Dolittle (Eddie Murphy one) Original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory She will watch other stuff with us on a night when she keeps getting up but nothing particulary comes to mind (she quite likes the bits of Lost she has seen). Four Wedding though seems a bit too much for me too many [censored] in it |

Re: Here are some great movies
OK. Good stuff. Cool Runnings & Bend it like Beckham definitely fit the bill. Plenty to talk about, minimal violence.
