Trying to build up a list of DVDs i want to get of all my old favorites but its hard to remember some of the title's after so long 😂
Ive got the classics like Bugs life and Road to El Dorado but struggling to remember names of all the vague films we had on VHS. Would like my child to watch all the old goodies so want a nice large collection

My favourite children's films inc the ones DC loved:
Oliver!
Mary Poppins
Disney Beauty & The Beast
Shrek
Toy Story
The Incredibles
Monsters Inc
The Incredible Journey (Original version if you can find it. Get tissues!)
Home Alone
Mrs Doubtfire
Inkheart
for older DC: Holes - wonderful movie that does real justice to the wonderful book.

Yes 1970 sounds about right. I remember our recording had accents that kept changing during the film!
