I was browsing around the net and came across a similar list from the Brittish Film Institute. I thought I would come up with my own. This was much harder than I initially anticipated. There are some really good classics to compete with some of the modern classics such as recent films from Pixar. I tried to restrict the list to those that really we aimed at children with good moral fortitude. I think if my children recreated this list it might be different. I may try to get my oldest daughter to participate and make a separate post later.
