Here are a few good Christian movies that I love, Facing the Giants and Joshua. Both have absolutely nothing that you wouldn’t let your youngest child watch. Hope you enjoy.

I dont watch a lot of movies, Im wierd, I like to watch movies Ive already seen, mostly older movies and vintage t.v., when my kids were small, I was careful what they could watch, and what surprised me was the cartoons. they are appalling now, but when my kids were watching them back in the 90’s there was alot og controversey out there about there being new age undertones in alot of kids cartoons. I didnt really belive it ( I mean, why? it sounds absurd) but after I looked into some things, it was indeed true. there must be some sinister plan, do you think so ? anyway, there are still old cartoons that are good ones to watch on cable channells. they most certainly dont make good cartoons like they used to!

I didn’t realize how bad movies are until I had children! There are movies I started watching with my son, that I didn’t remember being that bad. But, they were awful! It’s definitely a great idea to use these sites to get an idea of what’s in the movies our kids are going to see.

Hi,
We love good movies and good literature. We have homeschooled for about 20 years and people would ask us for movie/book recommendations. So we started doing movie reviews on our family blog–we only have a few up so far, but hope it will be helpful to other families in selecting some good entertainment options. Our blog is http://www.devinespot.blogspot.com and look under the posts titled “Friday Night Flicks” or the sidebar titled “Movies Worth Watching”.

Treva-

I agree! Don’t you miss good, quality television like it used to be? Me and my daughter love watching the Andy Griffith show. I miss shows that actually teach good moral values. And back when it was okay for a t.v. family to actually pray and be shown going to church. What has happened to us??

I’ve noticed that older movies that are rated G and PG are more appropriate than newer movies with the same ratings. My DD is only 4 1/2 and while she loves dresses and getting prettied up, she’s not into princess movies. She likes live-action movies and one of her favorites is The Neverending Story. I watched that when I was kid!!! (I will admit not all kids at age 4 would understand that movie or be ready to watch it.)

Same with t.v. Sitcoms of the 80s and early 90s are so much better than their new millineum counter-parts. My DD loves Full House and she has also watched some Cosby Show. There are even older alternatives. I often forget until we’re watching it that my DD loves the show I Love Lucy. I’m just glad that these shows still run and give me a very acceptable alternative to today’s shows and movies.

Thank you for the links! I agree with you on the “stupids”, “idiots” and “shut up”. I can’t stand to hear kids talk like that. Those words are even in some books that my daughter has been bringing home from the school library. It’s crazy what parents are willing to accept now.

My grandchildren’s videos are screened by their parents and they are not allowed to watch many of the children’s programs out there. I’m so thankful my son and his wife are vigilant about this. And thank you for your lists and your willingness to do this.
