Wreck-It Ralph

• 2012
• Animation
• Comedy
• Family

It starts off great with the video game characters, the witty jokes, and all its nostalgic charm. After all that goes, we’re stuck in little kiddie land for the rest of the movie. It’s not a bad thing but these animated films are usually great for both adults and kids. This one felt like it was geared more towards the kids. The ironic thing is that the kids are too young to get all of the video game jokes. Still, I really, really enjoyed it.

The Wizard of Oz

Do I really need to say anything about this monumental movie?

The Wizard

• 1989
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Drama
• Family

No child gave a turd about the actual film. We only wanted to see the new Super Mario Bros 3 game and call out other Nintendo games.

Hey Fred, you can’t get 50,000 points in Double Dragon after only playing for a few minutes. That’s also the NES version on an arcade machine, you stupid fart face.

The Wiz

• 1978
• Adventure
• Family
• Fantasy
• Music

No easy Michael Jackson jokes here. This movie is genuinely creepy and it scared the turd out of me when I was little.

The Witches

• 1990
• Fantasy
• Family
• Horror

I watched this a few times when I was kid and I can’t tell you why but I enjoyed it. It’s not a great movie and as scary as it was, I would still re-watch it. Sorry, I’m weird. I think it was Anjelica Huston’s face that was absolutely perfect for a witch, that got me. That face is what all children perceive when they think of witches, and I mean that in the best way Madame Huston. Shit, sorry, another weird comment.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

• 1988
• Animation
• Comedy
• Crime
• Family
• Fantasy
• Mystery

Probably a really awkward film for kids to watch with their parents. Jessica Rabbit, plus all those boys going through puberty. It’s a theater full of little boners.

Where the Wild Things Are

• 2009
• Adventure
• Drama
• Family
• Fantasy

Max is a spoiled little jerk. I ran away from home when I was a kid and there wasn't dinner waiting for me when the cops brought me back. I was beaten with a boat paddle.

We Bought a Zoo

• 2011
• Comedy
• Drama
• Family

Nothing says “I love you” like giving your family the gift of an un-tamed tiger.

WALL?E

• 2008
• Animation
• Adventure
• Family
• Romance
• Sci-fi

Another smash hit from Pixar. This time with less dialogue and more emotion through action. If there is a list for “most adorable movies,” this would be second...next to Ponyo.

Up

• 2009
• Animation
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Family

After I finally got around to seeing this, I have to say wow! I understand why it's so great now. First off, there's a death within the first 20 minutes and this film even shows blood! I have never seen blood in any of these cute Pixar pictures. So it sets off a slightly more mature environment from the get-go. As for the rest of it, it's one of the most touching films I have seen.

Toy Story 3

• 2010
• Animation
• Adventure
• Comedy

It was a long time in the making but totally worth it. A touching and great conclusion that’s nothing short of excellent.

Toy Story 2

• 1999
• Animation
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Family
• Fantasy

I wasn’t crazy about this one but, hey, it’s Toy Story. Impossible to dislike.

Toy Story

Buzz Lightyear might be the only role I like Tim Allen in.

Update 8/1/2012:Still true.

The Three Musketeers

Disney hires a bunch of hunks to star in this rendition of The Three Musketeers story.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze

• 1991

Turtle power and Vanilla Ice's career died after this movie.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

TURTLE POWEEEER! My siblings and I were so pumped when this film came out.

Tarzan

• 1999
• Animation
• Adventure
• Drama
• Family

This was the last film in Disney's golden era.

The Sword in the Stone

• 1963
• Animation
• Adventure
• Family
• Fantasy

Sure this isn't anything compared to its bigger family members like Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty, but old school Disney always delivers.

Super Mario Bros.

• 1993
• Action
• Adventure

• Fantasy
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

"This Ain't No Game"
It ain't no movie, either.

Stardust

• 2007
• Adventure
• Family
• Fantasy
• Romance

This movie should not have been categorized under "family" because of Robert De Niro prancing around in a pink skirt. At least you football dads now have something to blame when the neighbors see little Bobby playing with dolls.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

• 1937
• Animation
• Family
• Fantasy
• Music
• Romance

Disney's first full-length animated classic. This is a really important piece of cinema.

Sleeping Beauty

• 1959
• Animation
• Family
• Fantasy
• Music
• Romance

Because of Maleficent (the villain), this is one of my personal favorite Disney classics. She turns into a dragon and spits green fire – freaking green fire!

Shrek 2

• 2004
• Animation
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Family
• Fantasy

Not horrible for a sequel. It had its moments and this is Eddie Murphy's best role in years; a voice-over for a donkey. I'm pretty sure I said the same thing in the first Shrek. I can't think of anything else positive.

Shrek

• 2001
• Animation
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Family
• Fantasy
• Romance

Eddie Murphy was funny in this. That says a lot about a comedian when his best role in years is the voice of a donkey.

Short Circuit

• 1986
• Comedy
• Family
• Sci-fi

Worst fucking robot, ever!

The Secret World of Arrietty

• 2012
• Adventure
• Animation
• Family

Another charmingly-beautiful film from Studio Ghibli. The only difference here is how innocent it is compared to others. Even Ponyo had a bit more of a mature edge to it.

The Secret of NIMH

• 1982
• Animation
• Drama
• Family
• Fantasy
• Sci-fi

Another great Don Bluth film that is more dark than his usual vision. More dark than what the audience (at the time) is used to.

The Secret Garden

• 1993
• Drama
• Family

I thought the actual discovery of garden was sort of creepy.

The Sandlot

• 1993
• Comedy
• Drama
• Family
• Sport

Every kid from my generation loves this movie and so do I, "For-eveeeer!"

The Rocketeer

• 1991
• Action
• Adventure
• Family
• Sci-fi

I remember a lot of hype around this, which it did not live up to. I bet a lot of you have seen this, you just don't remember.

Robots

• 2005
• Animation
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Family
• Sci-fi

Is it weird that my favorite robot character is the gate greeter in front of the evil corporation's building?

Robin Hood

• 1973
• Animation
• Adventure
• Family
• Romance

Same story except this time Disney decides to turn everyone into a furry freak.

Return to Oz

• 1985
• Adventure
• Family
• Fantasy
• Mystery

This is from Disney and I don't know about you guys but this scared me so bad as a kid. I mean, shit...look. That is not okay.

The Rescuers Down Under

• 1990
• Animation
• Adventure
• Crime
• Family

I just realized this was a Disney production while inputting this entry. I thought it was from Don Bluth all this time.

Ponyo

• 2008
• Animation
• Adventure
• Family
• Fantasy

Ponyo is so imaginative, beautiful, and touching. The animation is top-notch as expected from Studio Ghibli. It's a fantastical tale about a little boy and girl's love for each other. If there is a list of "most adorable movies of all time," Ponyo would be at the top.

Pocahontas

• 1995
• Animation
• Drama
• Family
• History

Poke who?

Pinocchio

• 1940
• Animation
• Drama

• Music

Another timeless Disney classic. Poor, poor Pinocchio, how you've been the center of so much pornographic material.

Peter Pan

• 1953
• Animation
• Adventure
• Family
• Fantasy
• Music

This was my mother's favorite Disney movie and her favorite childhood story. There have been so many renditions but none is as good as this one.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure

• 1985
• Adventure
• Family
• Comedy

If you hate this movie then you are a weird creep, just like Pee-Wee. This movie fucking rules!

Oz the Great and Powerful

• 2013
• Adventure
• Family
• Fantasy

I liked the story and the beautiful spectacle of Oz. James Franco is hard to hate-on but I wanted to punch all of his teeth every time he showed them. The build-up to the plot’s main villain was a let-down. A lot of the annoyances has to be blamed on Sam Raimi. Pushing all the negativity aside, I did enjoy the film.

Over the Top

• 1987
• Action
• Drama
• Family
• Sport

This movie is about professional arm-wrestling and a bratty little kid. Don't watch it unless you're drunk, then it's funny.

One Hundred and One Dalmatians

• 1961
• Animation
• Adventure
• Family
• Thriller

There's a foreign movie called In China They Eat Dogs, you should check that out.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

• 1993
• Animation
• Family
• Fantasy
• Music

The greatest claymation classic of all time! There are too many good things about this movie and if you don't know anything about it, then go put it on your rental list, already. This is Tim Burton's peak.

Night at the Museum

• 2006
• Action
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Family
• Fantasy

Ben Stiller is a security guard a museum where everything comes to life and blah, blah, blah.

Nacho Libre

• 2006
• Comedy
• Family
• Sport

A dumb Jack Black movie. It's so stupid that the only funny part was when he farted right before jumping on that guy.

My Neighbor Totoro

• 1988
• Animation
• Adventure
• Family
• Fantasy

All aboard the Catbus!

My Girl

• 1991
• Comedy
• Drama

The boy dies at the end! Haha, I ruined the movie for you.

The Muppets

• 2011
• Comedy
• Drama
• Family

I thought I was going to have to water-down my sense of humor because it's The Muppets. Not at all! I got quite a few good laughs out of this. Also, Kermit gets me every time he flips out.

Mulan

• 1998
• Animation
• Adventure
• Drama
• Family

I took a big break on watching animated Disney movies after this one.

Mrs. Doubtfire

• 1993
• Comedy
• Drama
• Family

This movie wasn't stupid but it did start stupid spin-offs like Big Mama's House...and so many more awful films.

Monsters, Inc.

• 2001
• Animation
• Action
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Family
• Fantasy

Pixar takes a childhood myth and creates an entire world out of it. This is such a delightful movie. It's easy to say that whatever Pixar makes is gold. It is easy, actually. Whatever Pixar makes is gold.

Monsters vs Aliens

• 2009
• Animation
• Action
• Family
• Sci-fi

Another really fun and cleverly animated movie! Great dialog for kids and adults. I especially liked the voice of Amy Poehler (the computer).

MirrorMask

• 2005
• Adventure
• Drama
• Fantasy
• Family

I really dug the art direction and visuals in this but the movie itself wasn't good. It's not an awful movie though so I do recommend it if you want to see some very fantastical scenery.

The Mighty Ducks

• 1992
• Action
• Comedy
• Drama
• Family
• Sport

This was a fun family film.

Marley & Me

• 2008
• Comedy
• Drama
• Family

There is nothing fancy or complicated about this movie and that's what makes it watchable. If you happen to hate Owen Wilson or Jennifer Aniston, this is probably the one time that you can tolerate them. The film is straight-forward, funny enough to keep your blood pumping, sad but not heart-wrenching, and also very American.

The March of the Penguins

• 2005
• Documentary
• Family

This is such a moving documentary. I've always liked penguins and after this, I like them that much more. They're such awesome animals that live dreadful lives.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

• 1977
• Family
• Animation
• Music

From cartoon to movie to denim jackets, it's Winnie the Pooh!

Mac and Me

• 1988
• Adventure
• Family
• Fantasy
• Sci-fi

Look at that creepy-ass, ET-clone! Look at him! He looks like a troll with down syndrome.

Little Monsters

• 1989
• Comedy
• Adventure
• Family
• Fantasy

Fred Savage discovers a monster-friend (Howie Mandel) under his bed. You sure that's not your Uncle McTouchy, Fred?

The Little Mermaid

• 1989
• Animation
• Family
• Fantasy
• Music
• Romance

One of the last great classics from Disney. Great characters with great songs and Ursula was an awesome villain. Also, did you know that the original VHS cover had a penis in the background?
