What are some good movies for all ages?
TVTom51,
I suggest "The Worlds Fastest Indian" (Anthony Hopkins) and "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill".
Both of those 5-star (to me) movies are 'G' rated but they did not have the $ behind them to properly advertise them, so they are cheap to buy on Amazon. Both movies tell true stories, not fiction.
Wild Parrots will be fascinating to any age and Indian is a movie an entire family can share together ... particularly for the 13 year old.
I have no clue if either are available in Blu-ray.

Oh, yea, "Oz the Great and Powerful" will be released on June 11, 2013, too. I will get it earlier - in the next few days - because I joined the Disney Movie Club.
"The Disney Deal"
It's a great way to build a library of kids movies FAST for cheap. I think I paid about 20 bucks for the first 7 Blu-rays and then had to buy 2 more at $29.99 each to fulfill my commitment. That comes down to under $10 per movie - even better, most of them are Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy combo packs. And if you register those Disney movies at Disney Movie Rewards you can earn more movies for free.
Viola, 10 or more Disney movies for under $90.

- Go to disneymovieclub.com
- Offer should change to 5 DVDs or Blu-rays for $1.
- Check membership details on the left. It should read that you have to buy 3 at regular club prices ($29.95 for Blu-rays).
- Choose 5 Blu-ray titles and add to list on right. Look for the ones that are "combo packs!"
- Important - Add a sixth bonus Blu-ray at $11.95. This will count toward your membership commitment. Now you only have to buy 2 at $29.95.
- Add a second bonus Blu-ray for $8.95. This will make a total of 7 Blu-rays on the initial order. Shipping is free (use a credit card).
- Once you receive your initial order, buy two more Blu-rays on separate orders at $29.95 plus $3.95 shipping each.
- Cancel your membership to avoid messing with their "featured selections" every 4 weeks.
- Redeem magic codes at Disney Movie Rewards . You should have enough points to get at least one Blu-Ray or a couple DVDs.

"Okay, I know you don't remember me, but we got married. And at the birthday party with some pigs and a puppet, the villagers and this boy kept saying "Do the roar, do the roar!" Then I punched the cake that the pigs ate, and the next thing I knew, my donkey fell in your waffle hole." - Shrek 4 (It makes perfect sense to kids for the movie, given there is a waffle hole in the movie... but you know, hahaha)
And of course what happens when you say Farqaad's name a really fast (then its also hard to get out of your head when anyone refers to him by name!)...

How could I have forgotten this one?
Labyrinth.
My kids have always loved Labyrinth... from ages 2-19. Great story... George Lucas... Jim Henson creatures... David Bowie... What's not to love?
It was one of the first DVDs I ever bought, but the 4:3 SD quality seems kind of dated now. Maybe it's time for me to upgrade it to Blu-ray?
