Can you retrieve the great movies from your childhood, 1s that really had an impact; maybe some are on this list, maybe not. There are so many great movies for children that this Top 10 really can't make the class justice. There were many note-worthy possibilities that base out from my ain childhood that did not do the list. I've also included movies I've seen as an grownup that I'm sure Iodine would have got enjoyed had they come up out when I was a child.

In contrary order here are my top 10...

10. Tax Return to Oz

The physician is planning electro-shock treatment for Dorothy, but with the aid of a cryptic miss Dorothy flights and tax returns to Oz to happen things have got changed, for the worse!

9. Escape to Enchantress Mountain

I'm really showing my age by listing this film but it may be the first film Iodine ever watched at the movie theatre. Transient Ischemic Attack and Tony Malone, two orphaned children, have got particular powerfulnesses that enable them to travel physical objects with their minds. Hot on their tail are a host of baddies who desire to take advantage of the children and usage them for their ain gain. Befriended by a widower, they travel on the tally and effort to Escape to Enchantress Mountain - this is a great DVD for kids.

8. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

A 10-year-old boy named Elliot befriends the foreign after discovering it looking for nutrient in the family's garden shed. It's a race against clip to assist the foreign direct a message place before being establish by men of science and authorities agents.

7. Ghostbusters

After their grant runs out parapsychologists Dr. Venkman, Stantz and Oswald Spengler are fired from their easy occupations at Columbia River University in New House Of York City. They quickly put up concern in an old fire station and get investigating and ridding Manhattan of unwanted apparitions.

In an attempt to travel back in clip and halt the Doctor from being killed, Marty inadvertently travels back 30 years. On his reaching he tracks down the now much little Doctor Brown and seeks to convert him of who he is and enlist his aid to direct him Back to the Future.

5. Determination Nemo

After the tragical loss of his wife, Marlin the buffoon fish is left to convey up his lone boy Nemo on his own. Catastrophe work stoppages again when on Nemo's first twenty-four hours at school he swimmings off alone to look into a boat. Marlin looks on helplessly as his boy is scooped up by a frogman and taken away. In demand of help, Marlin squads up with the friendly (but forgetful) Dinghy to ship on a audacious missionary post to happen his lost son. One of the high points of this animated film is Ellen DeGeneres hysterical public presentation as the voice of Dory.

4. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

Johnny Depp stars as Captain Jack Sparrow in this plagiarist escapade set in the 17th Century. Jack work stoppages up an improbable confederation with Volition Nat Turner after Jack's ship, The Black Pearl, is stolen by Captain Barbossa. Volition Turner's motive come ups in the word form of Elizabeth Ii Swann, a childhood friend, who have been kidnapped by Barbossa.

Their lone opportunity of getting place is to fall in forces; this eventually takes to echt friendship.

2. Willie Wonka & The Cocoa Factory

I've lost count of the modern times I watched this movie growing up - it's an unbeatable classic. The narrative goes around around Charlie Bucket whose destitute household barely do ends meet. Charlie lives with his parents and both sets of grandparents and have heard many narratives about the recluse candy shaper Willy Wonka. The bizarre Wonka throws a competition in which five Golden Tickets are hidden under the negligees of his cocoa bars. The award is a day-long tour of the Cocoa Factory.

The 2005 refashion of this film was quite weak, even the acting accomplishments and personal appeal of Rebel Depp and modern particular personal effects could not vie with the mastermind of Gene Thornton Wilder and the totally over-the-top production of the original.

1. The Ace of Oz

This is the narrative of Dorothy Gale, a immature farm miss from Sunflower State and her domestic dog Toto who are thrust into the oculus of a twister and transported to the Land of Oz (complete with house).
