Will do.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks! I was obsessed with it when I was little. Plus it has nothing morally distasteful in it whatsoever (unless you don't approve of magic - but it is Cinderella type magic, making suits of armour dance and so on).

Well now I feel incredibly ancient...

"Joseph and... Dreamcoat" was HSdaughter's favorite musical when she was like four. I had the cd (from the broadway production) and she memorized the entire thing. She could have had the part of the narrator in any local production. Then, while she was still in that phase, one of the high schools did it. We went, she loved it.

Keep 'em coming guys... I'm making a list...

and TCW, Godspell? really...?

Phrom what I saw (DIDN'T SIT THROUGH THE WHOLE THING RAPH :angry: ) it had a good message and wasn't overtly heretical. The "interface" is somewhat unorthodox, but appeals to my right brained sense of aesthetitcs. It makes me want to do a St. Francis.

I loved movies about the saints. There was a company called CCC, I don't know if they are still around or not, but I do see some of their movies hanging around at my freinds houses.

My favorite was 'The Day The Sun Danced- About Our Lady of Fatima' I can't remember any more titles, but I saw one about St. Patrick, St. Fransis, St. Nicolas and other saints.

If I remember correctly, Godspell ends at the crucifixion... that's it THE END... everyone back in the VW bus...

The Rookie was pretty good. I thought "Wow! A Dennis Quaid movie with nothing objectionable!"

[theculturewarrior]

That was Jesus Christ Superstar. I didn't watch the end of Godspell, but it was way more inspirational than Jesus Christ Superstar.

Ernest Goes to Jail

Ernest Scared Stupid

Older Disney movies

Beauty and the Beast
Robin Hood
The Three Musketeers (with Mickey, Donald, and Goofy I believe)

Some older movies like "Flight of the Navigator".

Just go browse at a movie store in the kids section. There are a ton of good movies out there. Sound of Music, Singing in the Rain, Hunchback of Notre Dame...
