What are good movies for children in elementary school?

I'm looking for movies with good stories. Maybe something that teaches a lesson by a movie. Something kids would be interested in watching also.

Any ideas?

Back to the Future
Sounds of Music
Mary Poppins
Cinderella
Baby Genious

Here are my personal animation favorites with an underlying message:

"Toy Story" (The Original and Toy Story 2)
Both moviies discuss several themes about friendship, learning to accept differences, and working as a team.

Chicken Run
Themes about trust, friendship and working as a team, and triumphing over adversity

< Back to the Future>

trust me, it's wonderful

disney movies, disney-pixar, dreamworks animation (such as Joseph: King of Dreams or Prince of Egypt, if you are teaching a religious studies class) theres always Bill Nye the Science Guy (always a great laugh, and he shows many experiments that kids love to try) most children's animated features teach lessons and are interesting, you just have to watch for them and not discard them immediately as a free-time movie

books would be better

Jack with Robin Williams

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the version with Gene Wilder). Daddy Daycare, Matilda, Denis the Menace, Hook, The Little Princess(for girls), Jumanji, that Dr. Suess movie where the "things" have stars on their bellies....You know, the good ol' movies.

Santa Clause 1-2
HomeAlone 123
Shrek12

Anne of Green Gables
Sarah Plain and Tall
Pollyanna
Annie
old yeller
the buttercream gang
heidi
parent trap
the miracle worker

The animated version of BFG: The Big Friendly Giant

"Cars"
Respect for elders, preserving the past and good sportsmanship.

The Rescuers or the Rescuers Down Under were like the best thing since gummy bears when I was little!

I thougth Chicken Licken was a very strange book, see if they have that in a movie.
I read it to my kids when they were little and it does NOT at all end like you would think a childrens story should. I was shocked too. After reading it once to the kids they liked it and it was a book we read over and over again.

I hope this helps,

Cars teaches values about friendship. Finding Nemo and Charlottes Web. You will have to excuse the lack of commasinCharlottes because I am new user of the computer.

I think of course,science videos.Some like volcanos and some about animals.they can be pretty funny 2.

Veggie Tales. Check your local library.

I love Monster House.
