Hello from Susan Marlowe CPA! My plans to publish more family film reviews was derailed by an unexpected visit from my cousin. My cousin and I get along very well but we have very different taste in movies. She is into the whole arthouse/foreign/oscar-winning sort of thing. That’s great but it makes it hard since a lot of those films have adult content and I still have my nephews staying with me. So, I decided to embrace what could be a problem and make it a solution. I sat down with my cousin and she graciously agreed to help me compile a list of family-friendly films that are also really great films. I have foreign films, classics and even some arthouse. So, give me some time and I will start reviewing these films.
Here is a partial list of the titles we came up with. Now, remember that these films are recommendations from my cousin and have not been reviewed by me yet. Here goes!
- La belle et la bête (1946)- French version of Beauty and the Beast
- Children of Heaven (1997)- Iranian movie about children and shoes
- The Movie Hero (2003)- Indie film about a man who thinks his life is a movie
- Bill and Coo (1948)- My cousin’s admitted guilty pleasure. An all bird cast.
