FabSwingers.com forum: Classic children's films?

By (user no longer on site) OP

Will be looking after my young niece and nephew so am planning a classic movie night as part of it.

Back to The Future was my first thought. We've done all the Harry Potters already.

Other recommendations gratefully received.

How young may have a bearing on suggestions...from Back To The Future and Harry Potter I'm guessing 10ish?

I question your idea of what a classic film is OP. Now Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a classical movie, ignoring Dick Van Dykes' cockney accent obviously.

The Mr Bean movies were a favourite for our then 10 year old.

Other than that...Oliver!, The Italian Job are two that spring to mind from when I was around that age.

Was he supposed to be a Cuckney in that? Thought that was Mary Poppins?

You're right. He was American in Chitty. He refused to star in it if he was asked to do an English accent as he got so much abuse for playing Cockney Bert. Apparently the voice coach he used in Mary Poppins was an Irish chap

SNOT FACE!

It doesn't matter how old you are, it's drop dead Fred. It was my favourite film as a child and my son loves it too.

Obviously there's Annie and Oliver Twist to add to that, probably some more too, but these ones stand out.

IT was a favourite of my mates so that got some viewing too..

I liked one of the poltergeist movies..The one set in the skyscraper..I forget which one that was now

I prefered horror and action over the films aimed at my age group back then..never held much truck with the Disney type and 'happy happy joy joy it's all great in the end' films really, they sort of bored me. I wanted demons and violence and blood
