love shrek 1 and finding Nemo.
I must admit I also liked Princess Diaries 
I found that the incredibles was good but I have issues with the way the women were "dressed" Whats up with cartoons that are not entirely geared for kids??

I think the princess bride, although one of my personal favourites is a bit scary for kids. You know parts about the fire swamp and Wesley being tortured. I am not sure these love stories are so appropriate for frum kids anyway.

Sleeping Beauty and alot of Disney cartoons are based on fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm who didn't write those stories for kids, they were written for adults and some are quite scary. Which explains the whole love/romance line and the scariness.
You can get kids TV shows on DVD like Tweenies, Barney and Bob The Builder etc and they are for really little kids and are clean.
Harry Potter is good for older kids (don't quot me for book number 4 though coz I haven't seen that movie as it doesn't exist yet) but as I am mentioning it, book number 6 is out in about 2 weeks.
For myself I love the murder mysteries like Agatha Christie stuff, but they are not for kids at all. Deffinately under the clean category though.
My fave movie is Kill Bill...but not for people who don't like violent movies and a deffinate no no for anyone under 18...just because of all the killing and gore.
Cheaper By The Dozen...the most annoying movie ever...maybe it's because we bought it for when we have my sister-in-law over and she tends to watch it almost every time she comes, so I have seen it way too often. Deffinately clean though.

almost anything with shirley temple.
my fair lady unless you object to the d---- word
anything by gilbert and sullivan (HMS Pinafore, pirates of penzance, the mikado)
Little Women
Jane Eyre
Wuthering Heights
anything by jane austen (emma, pride & prejudice) esp. if it's an old production. sometimes modern production of classics are made racy to appeal to modern audiences. (The Emma version with gwyneth paltrow had some plunging necklines but it was otherwise ok, assuming you don't object to kissing and ballroom dancing.)
old productions of shakespeare. with new productions you also have the possibility of a more licentious interpretation
Oliver!
Hester Street
Crossing Delancey
Hello Dolly
Funny Girl
Funny Lady
Annie
Annie Get Your Gun
Peter Pan
Heidi
if you object to love scenes, kissing and dancing--skip broadway musicals. even sound of music has a couple of kissing scenes and a couple of church scenes. Marx brothers are full of double entendres.
the inspector-general (comedy, Danny kaye)
me and the colonel
the court jester
the secret life of walter mitty
the madwoman of chaillot
camelot
a man for all seasons
the black stallion
the black stallion returns

Mr. Blandings builds his dream house--cary grant & myrna loy. comedy. kosher unless you object to married couples kissing each other. they even have twin beds separated by a nightstand.

My kids love Hello Dolly and Mary Poppins. Also, the old Peter Pan with Mary Martin. Another favorite is Babes in Toyland with Annette Funicello.
the classic musicals are great- The Music Man, etc.

define clean? they have plenty of r-rated movies. you're usually safe with anything from the '30's-'50's. anything from the '70's on you really have to be careful.

I looked each one up and each one is rated R for violence/language.
What do posters think of watching movies rated R for violence/language (as opposed to s-x)?

Rated G—General audiences
All ages admitted.
Rated PG—Parental guidance suggested
Some material may not be suitable for young children.
Rated PG-13—Parents strongly cautioned
Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
Rated R—Restricted
Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian
The MPAA film rating system was instituted on November 1, 1968, as a response to massive citizen complaints about the appearance and increase of explicit s-xual content, graphic violence, scatology and profanity in American film following the abolition, by the MPAA, of the Production Code of America in 1967. The United States came rather late to motion picture rating, as many other countries had been using rating systems for decades

the rating system is geared to the average american audience, not reliable for frum people. even disney rated g has inappropriate themes, and the female characters more often than not are proportioned and (un)dressed to suit an adolescent boy's fantasies. also their ideas about what is objectionable language are considerably more liberal than ours. again, anything from the '30's and '40's is usually safe. after all, audiences were shocked--shocked!--when rhett butler told scarlett o'hara in Gone with the Wind that he didn't "give a d---". this was in 1939.
