<p>I always loved The Music Man. No one in my house liked it. Anyone remember The Idol Maker with Ray Sharkey and the dad from the OC (forgot his name). I loved that movie and bought it off ebay. Another one my girls did not like!</p>
<p>The Goonies
The Breakfast Club
Greese
Also(yes, I know this is a recent movie), The Phantom of the Opera(I love this movie)</p>
<p>I like a lot of ucladads selections. </p>
<p>I like, but haven’t seen in ages:
High Noon</p>
<p>Sergeant York</p>
<p>Both tough sells for kids in today’s market where you need something exploding or burning in the film.</p>
<p>You don’t have to like either Notre Dame or football to like Rudy. </p>
<p>Katherine Heburn - any and all of her films. My all time favorite. The Philadelphia Story is delightful!
The original versions of Ocean’s Eleven and The Thomas Crown Affair are both better than the remakes - imo.
My girls love The Pricess Bride as well - it is a classic. Reciting the dialogue along with the movies is part of the “experience”.</p>
<p>Speaking of The Philadelphia Story–our son for a long time wouldn’t look at black and white movies. You just couldn’t get him to sit down for one. I always assumed that when he overcame this prejudice, it would be for something like M or Stagecoach, something with a famously striking visual style. But the film that pulled him across the line was The Philadelphia Story, which we somehow finagled him into watching, and which he loved. </p>
<p>Since then I’ve been able to get him to watch most of my favorite B&W classics, like The Apartment, 12 Angry Men, The Palm Beach Story, Seven Days in May, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Arsenic and Old Lace, among others.</p>
<p>“You don’t have to like either Notre Dame or football to like Rudy.”</p>
<p>The fact that it is ABOUT Notre Dame and football is enough for me to hate Rudy ;)</p>
<p>I concur with many of the movies already listed and would like to add the Bob Hope and Bing Crosby Road to … series and Working 9 to 5 with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton.</p>
