Those of us who has noticed the propaganda in today's kiddie shows (children constantly teaching adults is one theme) may want to load up on some of the best alternatives.

300 Spartans has been out of print for years. There is no video. If anybody knows a source, I want one.

You could put on your list virtually any Hollywood western, swashbuckler, action adventure or comedy made before the 1960's. They're all fine for kids - this is the stuff most of us grew up with in reruns on TV.

Add Star Wars to the list. The new DVD set rules.

I don't think little girls would enjoy 80% of these movies.

Old TV can also be an excellent source for kids. My faves are Have Gun, Will Travel, The Prisoner, and The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

300 Spartans is available now on DVD via Amazon and other sources. That must be new, because I looked there not too long ago.

Several of my all-time favorites are there.
THE SEARCHERS is just one of the best movies ever made, period.
ZULU is a great war movie, and, I've been told, a fairly realistic (for the time) depiction of the battle.

I can't prove this, but I swear that I saw it one day. I had an episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle going , and as they were talking with a bookcase in the background, I swear that I saw one of the titles of the books read "Sex Around the World" for a brief second. I sat there in shock for a moment, I'm sure that I wasn't imagining things...

Right-o !! Old TV beat new TV and more and more old stuff is being packaged in DVD sets.

Great list.
My only concern of the ones I've seen is the bare-breasted maidens on Zulu (which appears in the first few minutes of the film).
Add North by Northwest 1959, Charade 1950s, The 39 Steps 1930s, The Man Who Knew Too Much 1930s Black and White version, The Secret Agent 1930s (all but Charade are Alfred Hitchcock movies). The plots concern ordinary men placed in extraordinary circumstances.
Exodus 1960s is a story of Israeli Independence.
My kids positively howled at It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, World 1960s.

I believe it. Wild men put those cartoons together and sometimes there is a lot of jigle and sway in Natasha's breasts.
