Great Family Movies

Now that all the kids are in elementary school, we can phase out of watching 100% cartoon movies (except the good ones of course). With the youngest in kindergarten, there is still some challenge with scary movies, extra long, or those requiring play-by-play explanation. Thus, the "not ready" list. Feel free to comment your recommended additions!
