The best old movies for families

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

I recently browsed though the book, The Best Old Movies For Families: A Guide to Watching Together. Boston Globe film critic explains how to introduce classic films like Bringing Up Baby and North by Northwest to younger viewers without having them looking for the remote. Burr breaks his titles down according to age group, creating the best movie guide we know for future filmistas. My local library recommended this book back in October 2007. I enjoyed browsing through this book and might use it in the distant future. My wife watched over three-fourths of the movies listed during her childhood. You might be offended by some language and crass/ironic humor of this book if you are the home-schooling Christian subculture. This book is more for the family that wants to watch less Barney and more Marx Brothers, than it is for someone wanting to totally shelter their children from the evils of the world. And by old movies, Burr means 1970.
