A lot of good choices in there. I wasn't really surprised to see a lack of Clash of the Titans, but that and the bad Lou Ferrigno Hercules movies were memorable parts of my childhood.
It would probably be awesome to watch My Neighbor Totoro with your kid. I felt like a kid watching that. Damn, now I want to go ride a catbus.
Weird Science should be in there.
To raise your kids on? There is a lot of sexual content and alcohol use in Weird Science. I mean, I love the movie, but I definitely wouldn't raise my kids on it.Quote:

Boot that stupid anime thing, kids get more than enough of that with Dragonball Z, Pokemon et all. Wait untill they're old enough for Akira. I say replace it with Flight of the Navigator. Also, take Harry Potter out and replace it with The Princess Bride.
Yeah you are right. It was late when I posted that. Late night posting and me don't mix.Quote:

I forgot about Flight of the Navigator, I loved that movie! And yeah, there's no way a kid should miss out on The Princess Bride. I'd probably throw Stardust in too, though it wouldn't be as crucial as Princess bride.Quote:

Right on! Good call! Is the Princess Bride not "geeky" enough? or does that just show my utter geeki-ness?Quote:

I thank you for posting it though. I've been thinking of the movie all day.Quote:

Random: "Noooooooo. You didn't hang up on her! The chick with those big big titties?"
Anthony Michael Hall (AMH): "I hung up on the bitch."
and later:
Le Brock: "She kneed his nuts and called him faggot in front of all his friends."
Random: (indignant) "She did WHAT?!?!?"
AMH: "The bitch kneed my nuts."
AMH: "In the family jewels."
Random: "Worse pain there is."
AMH: "Broke my heart in two!"
Random: "Broke more than your heart..."
That's from memory, so excuse any mistakes. :)
They could easily do a top 25 nerdy movies to raise your kid on. Everyone's had some fantastic ideas - Flight of the Navigator was hands down my favorite. Princess Bride is extremely classic, and nerdy. And so much more!
'Course, they could also easily make a top list of nerdy movies to see as a pre-teen or teenager (and in some cases, movies to not get caught watching). Wierd Science is a good example, the Porkey's movies come to mind, Cheech and Chong etc etc etc. Anything with heavy sexual themes or debauchery in general.
I disagree Khortez. Some of the anime that you listed is mindless, pointless, sell this product drivel. Hayao Miyazaki's work is a bit more, I dunno, thoughtful and (some of it) is more family oriented. It's good geeky fun, compared to pointless, seizure inducing spam.
