Listography - Top Five Kids Films

This week over at , KateTakes5
the listography is all about kids films. 

Tricky one this one as there are so many to choose from, mmm, ok here goes:


1. Toy Story


This has to be one of the greatest films ever made. When I first saw this I was amazed by the technology.  Also the story is fantastic, toys coming alive is every childs dream.


2. Wizard Of Oz


When I saw this film I fell in love with it and dreamt about going to Oz, I wanted to live in Munchkin land.  It also scared me half to death with the witch and the flying monkeys. 'I'll get you  my pretty!'  Need I say more?


3. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (original version)


Another film I went to bed dreaming of, well, the chocolate river and edible daffodils anyway.  The Oompah Loompahs were cute and the soundtrack great.  Oh and drinking lemonade that made you fly...brilliant



4. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang



Oh to have a flying car... And I wanted to grow up to look like Truly Scrumptious wearing beautiful white dresses.  A great story and another great soundtrack.


5. The Goonies


An all time classic. Thrills, adventures, baddies chasing the kids, pirates, gold doubloons and of course, Sloth.  'Hey you guys!'


P.S Can I add some more???

Ok, ALL the Harry Potter films!  Do you think in 50 years time they will remake them?  Hopefully not, they will be classics.

  2. I agree with the original Charlie and the chocolate factory. Much better. I could never understand why Charlie won the factory when he was naughty too and drunk the lemonade. That didn't seem fair to me as a child.

    I love Chitty chitty bang bang. Lullaby mountain is such a beautiful lullaby I always sing it to the girls. Shame I don't know all the words.
