55 essential movies your child must see

In many ways it’s too late for them, but we can still save the next generation. The 55 Essential Movies Your Child Must See (Before They Turn 13) is a starting point. This isn’t a list of the 55 “best” kids movies, nor a compendium of hidden gems. Rather, it’s a survival-guide syllabus of films that we all need to know to be able to speak the same pop-cultural language, listed in order by when they might be best introduced.

Let's see.  What do I have on DVD?

6. Beauty and the Beast (I have it on VHS)
7. The Little Mermaid (VHS)
8. Finding Nemo
14. The Sound of Music
15. The Lion King (VHS)
23. Star Wars
24. Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone
26. March of the Penguins (well, I used to have it, 194 copies available)
32. The Incredibles
34. The Princess Bride
40. Back to the Future
44. The Karate Kid
49. Raiders of the Lost Ark
