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.

Netflix?

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.

My DVD library. I counted a dozen that would work before the end of the second page, so I got sick of listing them. I decided to link the whole list instead. I think it's up to date.

I particularly wanted to highlight Clue, though. Awesome movie that stands the test of time, and kids find funny.

Mystery comedies are a good idea. Also for nine and up, consider "Murder by Death" (something about Eileen Brennan in a murder mystery spoof) which I contend is better than "Clue," especially for the adults who will enjoy the send-up of famous movie detectives. Also fond of "The Private Eyes," another early '80s mansion house mystery comedy with Tim Conway and Don Knotts.

I remember enjoying High Anxiety when I was a kid, but not getting any of the Hitchcock references.

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

a former Miss USA who did TV and then soft core has her first hardcore coming out soon www.kelliusa.com it might be a good cautionary tale for the little girl about getting too caught up in how she looks and what boys think of her. might just keep her in school.

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

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.

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

Why? My cousins LOVED Blazing Saddles when they were about the ages of dtb's kids. Their favorite line was "'scuse me while I whip this out." They had no idea what it meant, but they would fall into hysterical laughter after repeating it.
