I have seen 9 of those. I haven't even heard of a lot of them. There are a good number of films on there that I'd never have dreamt about watching pre-14, 'Some like it hot' and 'To kill a mocking bird' for example. Also, the failure to include any of the good Disney films makes the list completely void.

They also recommend the 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet. Definitely not a nice film, two suicides including Romeo shooting his brains out, and various other blood filled scenes due to the replacement for swords being guns. Oh, and very few people under 14 would follow the dilogue anyway.

Kids should all see Trainspotting.

Would put them off drugs for life.

I read the book, haven't seen the film, but if it's what I'm thinking it is then, no it isn't.

"The classic 1970s Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (I haven't seen the new one yet, mind.) They should also see some more mature stuff too - perhaps Schindler's List? But none of this kitsch The Sound of Music nonsense - they're children, not imbeciles."

"Flight Of The Navigator and Labyrinth should be in the list. If you've had the pleasure to see either of the films then I don't need to explain why."

"Watership Down, which still scares the heck out of me as an adult, but is supposed to be for children."

I swear "Kes" isn't a nice film.

Unless I'm thinking of something else
