OOOh - I'm bumping this becauase it is a great list.
Hmm. . . What can I add?
There is a musical version of Cinderella with Brandy as Cinderella and Whoopie Goldberg as the Fairy Godmother. My girls love this.
They also like the Shirly Temple version of Heidi, but my middle dd is very sensitive. and always cries at the end when the aunt tries to take her away and they arrest the grandfather. It is a pretty tense momnet.
I have been bad about looking for things like this lately, and I don't even know if they still exist, but what about older Disney like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Escape to Witch Mountain, Tomisina, etc? I don't really even remember all of them. . . I'll have to search my library database later.
We just let the kids watch For the Love of Benji the other day, Dh and I thought it would be OK, but at the end the bad guy has the daughter at gunpoint, and that bothered me a lot.
My older daughter loved the Pride and Prejudice miniseries with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehele. I think the closest it comes to inappropriate is describing the character of the man that one of the daughters "elopes" with - but everyone is horrified, yk? And it's not really explicit to the details, you just get that he is an untrustworthy man looking to take advantage of a young girl, and that she is a girl who has made a bad choice that has gotten her into trouble. I love that my 8 year old rolls her eyes at the girl and claims that she would never be that silly, lol.
OK, does anyone have a link to this movie review website I remember. . . I think it was Christian based, what I liked about it is that it was very, very specific so you could make your own decisions - it would list how many curses, specific instances of mouthy kids or innuendo, blatent sexuality, etc. I lost the link, but it was great for this sort of thing. . .
