This summer, I’ve spent a lot of time at the historic Stanford Theater watching classic films on the big screen. My favorite part of the summer program at the Stanford is when I see tons of kiddies there to watch a timeless film that still manages to transcend all of the generational gaps between them and their parents.

I can’t imagine a world in which kids haven’t seen The Wizard of Oz or The Sound of Music, but there are other films that seem to enchant kids of all ages no matter how much time has passed since they were first created. Have your little ones seen any of these classics?
