VERDICT: I am desperate to find movies suitable for a 5th grader and lowered my standards.


I Spit on Your Grave 2 is not such a movie.  :)


Hahahahahahahahaha! Neither is Blood and Black Lace, or The House By the Cemetery, or .... 



Once you get into 7th grade or so, you can always get out some of the tamer Hitchcock movies. Not horror, but require more thought than most horror and suspense. All depends on if the younger person can tolerate, "Old" movies and movies without lots of action. I know of someone, back in 2001 or so, complained about I in he late 90's her mother coaxed her into watching an, "Old movie". That old movie being, "Rosemary's Baby" when it aired on TV. She said she laughed throughout it. She was in her early 20's at the time.


OH, something that just clicked in my mind, a great horror movie, for younger folks, and also older, though I'm not sure if it's a nostalgia thing for me. The last time I watched it was Halloween 2012; "The Willies". It's a horror anthology, like Creepshow, but PG-13. Has some good lessons; Don't be a bully, don't torment animals, etc.

I still have not yet revisited Mrs. Doubtfire since a theatre viewing, and later VHS rental or similar. I'm not sure if I'd like it better, but I may, as some stuff may have been over my head at the time, or I not appreciated so much at the time. Similar to how I appreciated Overboard, Parenthood, and some other stuff from the 80's as I got older.


Anyway, I have not watched anything more, but I did set aside some money for the Blu-ray of UHF, which is released in Novemeber. I haven't seen the movie in 7 years or so.

I did watch some of the Simpsons marathon this weekend, and while not a movie, it might as well have been.

............... I also want to watch Bill and Ted's excellent Adventure, but I honestly can't remember if it was any good, or if it will are well (I saw it in theatre).

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure still holds up pretty well. Then again, may have to explain to a younger person what a phone booth is for, and why they were once everyplace. It also has George Carlin here and there throughout.

I saw it for the first time in 10+ years, in 2012 or so. It was airing on some TV station, and I left it on in the background while cooking or something, and I got sucked back into it. I caught it about 1/3 of the way in. The bit with Napoleon bowling got me laughing, and the subtitles. I had forgotten about that.

She loves Dr. Who already, so I figured why not try Bill & Ted? She might like it. I can't remember anything, anyway.

Made my annual pilgrimage to the theater to watch a Woody Allen movie.  Magic in the Moonlight had its moments, but it wasn't as good as Blue Jasmine last year.

Anyone else watch Woody Allen films?  He's probably my favorite director.  All of my top movies are his...  or horrible horror trash.

Again, I must reiterate, you all must watch "Dear Zachary".  It is a documentary and it is on Youtube for free if you must see it obviously easy to download.  An EXTREMELY powerful message and a must watch, messed me up for days.

Just watched this on your recommendation.  Wow, very powerful indeed.  So much raw emotion in that documentary.  As someone with children myself, I can relate to a lot of the comments made Kate and David.

Mostly a fan of his older films 70's/80's...he made a crap load and I think I've seen most of them. After Mighty Aphrodite I have only seen a handful...but I liked most of them (not amazing, per se, but enjoyable enough).

I had my wife watch Bill and Ted earlier this year. She actually liked it OK. She's my age though, not in the fifth grade, so I don't know if that helps.


I was "THIS" close to watching Bill & Ted on Friday night. We will watch it soon, though.

Living in NYC there are Woody Allen screenings at some theater almost weekly, so it is easy to go watch the classics (Manhattan, Sleeper, Annie Hall, etc.) on the big screen.

I picked this up for less than $100 on sale and have made it through most of the movies.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Woody-Allen-Collection-Sets/dp/B001539HQY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410108570&sr=8-1&keywords=woody+allen+collection

I think even "lesser" Woody Allen is better than 90% of what is out there.  Crimes and Misdemeanors, Broadway Danny Rose, and Hannah and Her Sisters are a little later than his classic movies and all are awesome.  For his newer stuff, I genuinely enjoyed Match Point, Midnight in Paris, and Blue Jasmine.  His latest movie is probably his worst in a decade, but it had a few moments.

Unless it is just coincidence, when I was in NYC I watched some of his movies at both MOMA and Film Forum.  I remember passing on his movies at Film Society at Lincoln Center.  I am into old movies and always looked at the film schedules when I was there, even seeing Troll 2 surprisingly played in Brooklyn one weekend!

Since I was in NYC for about a year for work and I didn't know too many people besides co-workers, I was the weird introverted guy sitting in the back of Film Forum munching popcorn and embracing film history.
