The tread about reading to your kids reminded me how hard it was, when my kids were young, to find high quality movies the whole family could enjoy together. I became a fanatic on this because it was such a good way to spend time with the kids, but I deplored how many films were laced with profanity and violence, if not overt sex. My favorite one was probably The Black Stallion. We also enjoyed all the old Hitchcocks and all the old Betty Davis classics. Classic westerns like Silverado and Shane worked wonderfully. Mudcatters with small children might appreciate a good list. What are some others?
