Come on people. Put your brains on.

Mary Poppins
Annie
The Sound of Music
Robocop

Okay. One of those is totally inappropriate, but I'm not saying which.

Which is a lovely segway-way into my query. I need to buy some movies that are good, but that are appropriate for kids and their parents. You know, crowd pleasers. So far, my list is woefully short, as it includes only Groundhog Day and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Know your audience. Everybody here is fully aware that The Sound of Music is All About the Anal.

If we're primarily concerned about moral exemplars, I'd just pull up YouTube and put the Alec Baldwin scene from Glengarry on loop.

Also fond of "The Private Eyes," another early '80s mansion house mystery comedy with Tim Conway and Don Knotts.

I think straight up mysteries are ok too. I saw most of the Agatha Christie ensemble movies at a relatively young age and didn't come out all that scarred. Murder on the Orient Express is my personal favorite, but Death on the Nile is also pretty good. I also liked Evil Under the Sun, but I think that's mainly because the set was so lovely.

Come to think of it, most Mel Brooks would be good for kids.

I liked Young Frankenstein a lot as a kid. And High Anxiety. But it is probably best to stay away from Blazing Saddles.

Best post ever! You captured the zeitgeist of the Friday Boards spot on! I couldn't have said it better myself.

You complete me!

I thought we were looking for things that wouldn't lead the adults to slit their wrists?

I have Princess Bride already (but on TAPE!!).

And why I would buy rather than rent? Because there are no video rental places anywhere near me, and the library has a pretty lame selection.

Juno?
