Episode Details

Today we are excited to share with you some of our favorite childhood movies, as well as some of the movies we plan on showing to our children. As you know, we are screen free in our normal life. However, maybe once every two months, we do a family movie night. We do have a running list of what we are going to watch with our children. We will also share some of the movies that have impacted our life as adults that we may or may not show to our children. 

Something we look for in a movie are the family relationships. Something can be rated G and totally be undermining the family culture and values we want to put into our children. When we think of anything our children are consuming, we are thinking - What are the ideas that they are cultivating from this? Are they getting new ideas that are inspirational, shaping their moral character, giving them vision for the future or are these ideas corrupting, corroding or just zapping their brains with nothing worthwhile in the film? Unfortunately, there is a lot of stupidity in children’s media.

Here is the list of movies we talk about in today’s podcast:

Elisha:
- The Sound of Music
- The Happiest Millionaire
- Swiss Family Robinson (1960 Disney version)

Katie:
- Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
- Hayley Mills films:
   - The Parent Trap (1961)
   - Pollyanna (1960)
   - That Darn Cat! (1965)
- My Fair Lady
- Cheaper by the Dozen (1950)
