9 great movies to see with your kids (that are meaningful for adults too)
Greg Taylor
My wife, Jill, and I have three children: Ashley, Anna, and Jacob. We live in Broken Arrow and I preach for The Journey: a New Generation Church of Christ in Tulsa (www.thejourneychurch.faith). I have a B.A. in Journalism and an M.Div. from Harding School of Theology in Memphis, Tennessee. Before coming to Tulsa, we lived in Nashville, Tennessee four years, where I worked with The Zoe Group and Wineskins Magazine. From 1994-2001 we lived in Jinja, Uganda, where we worked with a church planting team, an experience that forever changed our lives. With Randy Harris, I co-authored Living Jesus: Doing What Jesus Says in the Sermon on the Mount and you can learn about other books I've written at my web site, www.gregtaylor.org. My most recent book co-authored with Randy is Daring Faith: Meeting Jesus in the Book of John.
Great list. I would have to add Disney’s Newsies to that list. It is one of my all time favorites!
9?! You couldn’t find one more movie from the past 100 years to make it a nice even number?
Dear Bobby–
Nine is by design, which rhymes, which also rhymes. Nine says, “tell me one more,” which didn’t work for you because YOU did not just come out and tell me the 10th movie, selected from the past 100 years, and I suppose you intend to include those hundred year old silent classic children’s movies we all love! 🙂
How to eat fried worms…really?
OK, the headline might ought to read “and fun for parents, too” rather than “meaningful” . . . yet, for the simple plot, they had good character development in “Worms,” which is really the best part of those “our gang” type movies such as Holes . . . OK, let me have a mulligan: “The Big Green.”
i haven’t seen either, just asking.
