Reasons they need to see it: Although the 1998 version of this movie starring Lindsay Lohan is high on our list of favorites, the original film is the way to go when introducing to classics to your kiddo. This movie is the ultimate demonstration of a "kid plan" put into action, and watching these teenage twin sisters trying to get their divorced parents back together will make you and your child laugh out loud together while learning some important lessons about family along the way.
What to look out for: This movie was made in 1961, so the fact that some of the gender roles are a bit dated isn't surprising but could be confusing for kids growing up in today's world, where women are told they can be anything they want to be.
