We have FIVE family passes (4 tix) to ODEON kids to giveaway to FIVE Broadsheet readers with bored children to entertain. To enter, just complete this simple sentence:
‘The movie every kid should watch at least once is____________________because____________’
Lines MUST close at 8.45pm MIDNIGHT
(all five winners notified in t’morning)
The movie every kid should watch at least once is Die Hard with a Vengeance because the scene where they have to disarm the bomb with jugs of water is very educational.
Ha!
The movie every kid should watch at least once is The Goonies because its the Goonies’
Actually, this is the winner… a classic.
The movie every kid should watch at least once is IT because it instils a healthy fear of clowns .
The movie every kid should watch at least once is Big Hero 6 because…. FIST BUMP – Ba-La-La-La-La!!
The movie every kid should watch at least once is ‘My Neighbour Totoro’ because a giant benevolent owl raccoon and a cat-bus that is always there when you need it will keep anyone’s kids quiet for an hour or two. The underlying themes of strong family and sibling relations, humanity’s relationship with nature and caring for the people around you shouldn’t be overlooked also.
This, so this. My kids love the studio Ghibli movies, they are just a step above disney.
The movie every kid should watch at least once is Mary Poppins because it’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
The movie every kid should watch at least once is Inherent Vice because it’s hard to understand and they may need to watch it more than once.
Bad Santa, because they have to learn sometime…
Groundhog day because as soon as they grow up, thats what their life is going to be like.
The movie every kid should watch is Wall.E as it’s pure genius with a serious environmental message
The movie every kid should watch at least once is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory because it’s got chocolate and sweets, Gene Wilder and Humpa Lumpas!
Humpa Lumpas? Sounds filthy.
Shag, I was thinking of another version…
Wilder goes Wilder?
The movie every kid should watch at least once is Showgirls.
Time Bandits, because it’s a rollicking time-travelling comedy taking well aimed broadsides at traditional notions of good and evil, plus Ralph Richardson appears as an absent minded and gruffly avuncular Supreme Being.
I don’t want the tickets but the movie every kid should watch is ‘The Monster Squad’ because ‘Wolfman’s got nards!’
