Movie Night Resumes

trickykittyWatching through Doctor Who and Torchwood with the nephews made it so I didn't have to think of movies for a while. I haven't shown them Miracle Day, and the last season of Doctor Who isn't on Netflix yet, so they haven't seen any episodes with Capaldi.
Last weekend we ended up watching The Dark Crystal and Tin Tin.
I lent eldest Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart as well as Stonehearst Asylum while he was in the hospital, neither of which I've seen. If I try to watch it with them, he's likely to give away spoilers, so i think I'll bring those back home unless he promises not to give anything away.
I'm rounding up another stack of movies, some old, some more recent. We'll pick from this stack for a while.
I have no idea if they've seen Labyrinth, War Games, The Never-Ending Story, Narnia, or Spy Captain and the World of Tomorrow. I can't recall if I've shown them Zapped! already or not. Nor can I recall if I've already shown them Something Wicked This Way Comes.
I'm throwing in movies like the original and remakes of The Poseidon Adventure and The Time Machine. We listened to the original radio broadcast of War of the Worlds a couple weekends ago, and I know they've seen the remake with Tom Cruise, but I'm not sure if they've seen the original (although I don't own it, so I'll have to see if it's on Netflix).
Other movies: Dream a Little Dream, The Ramen Girl, Real Genius, Stand and Deliver, Mirror Mask, Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines, The Pirate Movie (I showed them the Ice Pirates a long time ago and forgot there's a sex scene in it - whoops), Prince Brat and the Whipping Boy, Master and Commander (I love the historical info that's presented in this movie), Dead Like Me (first season), Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, and It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Questionable movies that I'm not sure about: Mozart and the Whale, Young Frankenstein (I'll have to rewatch to see if it's kid-friendly), We're No Angels, What Dreams May Come, and Cyrano do Bergerac (which I've never seen the last, so not sure if I'll even like it).
The point is always to show them stuff they've never seen before. There's still two box sets of movies and shorts I have over there that contain a lot of black and white stuff, including The Little Rascals, which they enjoyed.
They were also telling me the other day that they missed watching the original Battlestar Galactica, so we may have to drag that back out as well. I can't wait until they get older and I will have the wonderful pleasure of showing them the reboot of BSG, but I'm saving that, along with many other movies, until they get a bit older. That's a good enough list to pick from for now.
