14 Timeless Movie Classics Your Kid Needs to See

Year: 1965

Rating: G

Tagline: "The hills are alive. With the sound of music."

Reasons they need to see it: Based on the real life story of the Von Trapp Family Singers, this film is about a young woman, Maria, who brings laughter, love, and song into the lives of seven mischievous kiddos and their father. The music is classic, and your kids will be singing along to the incredible tunes in no time (not to mention learning their scales!).

What to look out for: This isn't so much something to look out for as it is a fact to know: this movie is long. Julie Andrews goes on for about three hours — you've been warned.
