So I'm trying to follow the rules and only show the little third graders that I have until the end of the year G rated movies. This means that I can't show films like Hook, Harry Potter, or even Flushed Away (sorry Rob). So after discussing my problem with Chris, we went online to look for a list of classic movies that are rated G. Here's some of the more interesting finds (in no particular order):
- Modern Times
- The Court Jester
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Gone With the Wind
- Ben-Hur
- The Day the Earth Stood Still
- Giant
- Forbidden Planet
- The Ten Commandments
- The Great Dictator
- Planet of the Apes
I find of particular interest numbers 3, 8, 9, 11, and especially 5. Four of those movies are on AFI's Top 100 Thrills list. And yet I can't show The Adventures of Robin Hood? Or Hook, Guys and Dolls, Over the Hedge, or Shrek.
I'm tempted to show Ben-Hur just because I can.
