I agree with booting harry potter - there are plenty of other classics to have chosen from. But Bravo on Wargames and The Last Starfighter. I grew up on that shit, and they're still two of my favs when I feel like tripping down memory lane.
Actually, a good replacement for Harry Potter would have been "Witches" or even "The Worst Witch" though I prefer the former.
The Last Starfighter is awesome.... DEATH BLOSSOM!

Oh man, I used to practically pee myself with excitement when I'd see that. Of course, I was like.. 8?

I loved both those movies so much. Sigh. I'm totally going to end up ordering them both now. Another one that I loved when I was little was Labyrinth.
Actually, I just got "The Worst Witch" on netflix a few weeks ago, but I actually meant to get "Witches" which I remembered alot better from a child. Good times!
Chitty! Absolutely! The breakfast machine, as they mention, is pretty impressive, and all the other toys under the windmill are worth a look at. I'd love to just walk around the workshop with Potts, learning about his inventions. Unfortunately only his children have faith in him, so we, the viewers, never get the guided tour.
What, no Willow? PECK!
Damn, good call with the Willow. I just remembered how much I loved that as a kid.
Willow was definately good.
Legend and the Last Unicorn. Those were my two favorites as a kid.
The Hobbit is also a good starter for LOTR for the younger kids.
