Mr. Lafferty's you-probably-wouldn't-think-of-watching-these movies recommendations:
Fantastic Mr. Fox (PG) - one of my favourite movies of all time
Hunt for the Wilderpeople (PG-13) - One of my favourite writers/directors of all time, it's a long movie but very funny, and very touching
George of the Jungle (PG) - I always remember this being funny.. I saw it in theatres (when I was 7... wow I'm old)
The Goonies (PG) - Heyyy youuu guyyyssss!....oldie but a goodie... classic when I was a kid
The Sandlot (PG) - If you love baseball, this is a must-see
Remember the Titans - Maybe the best sports movie of all time
