Is Calamity Jane too old? (haven't seen it for years) - are there any other classics that we should add to the library? We have some of the recent ones like Monsters Inc and Nemo but I'm after a bigger range and films that all the family can enjoy together... (anticipating a few rainy sofa days this summer hols!)

My Ds lived the 5000 fingers of Dr T at that age
Also Jumanji

Bed knobs and broomsticks!! It was my fave as a child! :)

one of mine could (& did Grin) watch Mary Poppins every day for months

Ponders · 21/07/2012 20:57

they also liked Willy Wonka (the Gene Wilder one), Sound of Music (but maybe not at 5), some Muppets, Wind in the Willows & that dinosaur one with Sarah

My ds1 was scared by jumanji at six and a half and so I'd be careful with that one. It's a PG not a U.

Five Children and It is great if you can find it

I was obsessed with the Wizard of Oz at that age too, knew all the songs and had a Dorothy dress and ruby slippers. I also adored the Railway Children. Mary Poppins perhaps?

ponders, do you mean Labyrinth? Great film, though the teenage girl subtext goes right over their heads....
