Stand by Me (1986)
Four young friends set out on an adventure – to find the missing body of a local teenager. Heartfelt tale of boyhood friends and growing up, and now a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Goonies, The (1985)
A group of kids embark on a wild adventure after finding a pirate treasure map. In one word "fun", it's a wild adventure that possibly only kids of that era would truly appreciate.
Cocoon (1985)
Far–fetched tale about a group of trespassing seniors who discover a swimming pool containing alien cocoons, and find themselves energised with youthful vigour. Popular in it's day, but this viewer wasn't impressed.- DVD
$19.95$14.95 
Batteries Not Included (1987)- Apartment block tenants seek the aid of alien mechanical life–forms to save their building from demolition – a sweet story about ordinary people who find the extraordinary.
Gremlins (1984)- Cute adorable fluffy pet from Chinatown turns feral, and spawns a host of evil creatures, when owners disobey a few basic precautions. Brilliant, every 80's kid wanted one.
Antz (1998)- Adventure about a misfit worker Ant Z, who feels trapped by the conformist confines of his totalitarian ant civilization and sets out in search of Insectopia. Very Woody Allen–ish, a lot of the humour children just won't get!
Over the Hedge (2006)- A mischievous racoon and his sensitive best–buddy turtle along with other forest creatures try to resist the evils and temptations of suburbia. Wonderful characters, and genuinely funny moments.
Bug's Life, A (1998)- Pixar's modernised version of the Aesop fable The Ant and the Grasshopper, about a colony of ants who seasonally gather food for themselves and a wild gang of rowdy grasshoppers.
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
- Lemony Snicket tells the story of how the three Baudelaire children became orphans, in this wonderfully dark but magical world where nothing is quite as it seems. Perhaps a little too dark for younger children, but sure to thrill older ones.
Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl, The (2005)- Tale of a very imaginative boy who's on the outer at school, but a total hero on the Planet Drool. The fact that it's 3D sort of makes it, as the storyline is weak and a little too predictable. But overall still worthwhile.
