What is the most wholesome movie you've seen?

[terrya]

Mine: Mary Poppins.

[Bronco69]

1. A Trip To Bountiful

I just loved that movie! :-)

[mac56]

Recently: "Cheaper By The Dozen".

Ever: "The Homecoming" (precursor to "The Waltons".)

[eyesroll]

2. Let's see...I've seen Mary Poppins

I've seen The Sound of Music...

Oddly, one of the most wholesome movies I've seen is a Lynch film -- "The Straight Story." It's rated G, and there's almost nothing objectionable in it.

[terrya]

8. I loved "The Straight Story". It's Lynch's best film, IMO,

And Richard Farnsworth gave one of the best performances I've ever seen. Absolutely honest.

3. Sleepless In Seattle

<eom>

[Dogmudgeon]

4. Mary Poppins? Wholesome?

It's all about class struggle.

Sure, it's cute, but any kid with half a brain is going to leave that theater wonder why the hell Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke didn't start a chapter of the IWW.

5. "The Sound of Music"

n/t

[UCLA02]

6. South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut

SHIT! Wrong thread!!! ;-)

[TXlib]

9. that would be more "hole-some" rather than wholesome.

[BigMcLargehuge]

7. Friendly Persuasion

[stinkeefresh]

22. nice!

I saw that movie six years ago on the big screen in a THX theater.

love them Quakers.

[Commendatori]

10. Reservoir Dogs

Sorry, just kidding.

[terrya]

12. You must have seen the version broadcast on "The Family Channel"

The one that lasted about 25 minutes after the cuts.

:-)

14. That's the one about puppies

learning to swim, right?

I'll have to rent that for my grandmother one of these days... :evilgrin:

[Commendatori]

16. Yes, there was a kid named Timmy, stuck in a well...LOL (n/t)

[DrWeird]

11. Babe.

[Tummler]

13. "My Neighbor Totoro"

It's one of the best fuckin' animated movies ever made!

IMDb page:
http://imdb.com/title/tt0096283/

Ebert's review:
http://www.suntimes.com/ebert/ebert_reviews/2001/12/122301.html

It's hard to believe that Totoro was originally shown on a double bill with the nightmarish Grave of the Fireflies.

[stinkeefresh]

24. A + + +

I was haunted by it for weeks. Just saw it for the second time last weekend. Fantastic. (but all that guy's movies are great)

[starroute]

26. I second that

Either that or Kiki's Delivery Service.

[7th_Sephiroth]

29. dont forget

Castle in the sky

[starroute]

31. Great film -- but it does have a bit of violence

I took "wholesome" to mean not only "positive values" but also "suitable for four year olds." Although we've been lending Miyazaki cartoons to the small children of our acquaintance for many years, we don't lend out Laputa until they get old enough to handle cute little girls getting their pigtails shot off.

[7th_Sephiroth]

33. you watch manny saturday morning cartoons?

alot more disturbing stuff than that

[Gildor Inglorion]

15. "To Kill a Mockingbird" of course...

the best good guys ever; and Boo Radley, the most unlikely hero.

[Parrcrow]

17. Murphy's Romance

James Garner and Sally Field

sacharine
:puke:

[NoSunWithoutShadow]

18. Breaking Away

I also loved "A Trip to Bountiful", as Bronco69 stated.

[stinkeefresh]

25. wonderful film

[GreatScott]

19. Speaking for just this year- Jersey Girl

** I know there was a lot of porfanity, but the story was as heart-warming as any I've seen all year.

When you sort through all the Kevin Smith-isms and the Ben and Jennifer stuff, irt's really just a great story about a father loving his child.

[MissMillie]

20. The Rookie

Not even a cuss word in it.... and it was well done.

[m-jean03]

21. Singin' In The Rain

:-)

I like wholesome movies, actually. 'Specially if they are musicals.

[arwalden]

23. Beautiful Thing

[proud patriot]

27. Pay It Forward

:hi:

[geniph]

28. October Sky

lovely little movie, based on Homer Hickam's memoir Rocket Boys.

[kodi]

30. homeward bound series.. dog movies

mary poppins has all that dancin' and dancin' is the devil's tool!

amen.

[theoceansnerves]

32. the straight story

dir. by david lynch, no less.

[Norbert]

34. It's a Wonderful Life

Can't get much more wholesome than Frank Capra.

[Throckmorton]

35. The Passion of the Christ,

Just kidding.
