(Sometimes if they don't know that something is supposed to be difficult, they don't realize that it is). My kids love these:

I don't think Raiders is to hard core. Depends on the kids and if they can handle scary stuff. And by ET I assume you mean the ORIGINAL version and not that stupid anniversary edition with the guns all replaced with walk talkies. B/c kids are too smart to not realize that agents don't point walk talkies at people and b/c hello the point is that ET was nice and the gov't was evil and going to do experiments on him. Guns for sure get that point accross a little better then walkie talkies. And to Kill a Mockingbird is not inappropriate for kids under 14. Yes the movie discusses rape but it's not about rape. It's about treating all people with respect. If you asked me what the book/movie were about rape would be way at the end of the list. I read that book 3 times before I hit 6th grade. I (who was in regular old boring english) had to explain the book to the ENTIRE advanced placement class, who were all seniors, in my school b/c none of them had ever read it nor did they understand it. Trying to protect kids by censoring what they read just dumbs everything down and is counter productive.

I loved Babe, but Babe II had me in the hallway in tears, it was very disturbing. Anything by the Marx Brothers- physical comedy and wise-ass dialog.
