Brand new movies are great! Its so much fun standing in line at the theater, breathing in the buttery popcorn smell, giddy with anticipation when a new movie is released.
My children love watching the latest and greatest movies, but I just grin when I hear my children singing the songs I used to sing as a kid Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious or Tomorrow. Hearing their little off-key renditions is the best music to my ears.
Have you introduced your children to the movies you enjoyed when you were younger?
Swiss Family Robinson (1960)
The Robinson family gets shipwrecked near an island. With hard work and togetherness, they build a majestic tree house. They are faced with many trials – wild animals, weather, and pirates, but their ingenuity carries them through. Great family values!
The Parent Trap (1961)
Twin daughters are raised not knowing about each other, each living with one parent. They unexpectedly bump into each other at summer camp, put two and two together, and work out a scheme to get their parents back together again. This movie is just plain good fun.
Mary Poppins (1964)
Mr. and Mrs. Banks are both so preoccupied with their own interests that their children, Jane and Michael are unhappy. When the magical nanny, Mary Poppins enters their lives, she brings the family closer. Between the penguin scene, the chimney sweep dance, and the magic, your children will be entranced.
The Sound of Music (1965)
The hills are alive with the sound of music. Your home will be alive with the sound of music once your kids watch this one.
Annie (1982)
Oh, how we love Annie! The music, the dancing, the wealthy Mr. Warbucks, and a happy ending. It doesnt get much better than that!
These five movies are a must in every family library. Share the memories, and sing the tunes. Its ok if youre a little off-key. I wont tell.
