Have to add our family favorite: Pee Wee’s Big Adventure (rated PG). Quotable, quirky, cult classic.
A few others my kids of all ages will watch over and over: Babe (yes, the talking pig. . .) & Napoleon Dynamite
Already mentioned: The African Queen, Chariots of Fire.

A few years ago I tried to get my oldest son to watch Breaking Away. He walked out of the room after two minutes–because he couldn’t stand the Dad’s swearing!
I still like Breaking Away. Though it is very much of its time, it is a time and place very familiar to me.

btw–D is chairing a fundraiser at her college this fall–the theme is “The Princess Bride.”
I wondered if this would be well-known enough among the students–she assures me that “everyone” has seen it, multiple times.
