I couldn't even *begin* to narrow down the movies I like into a favorite 50, much less a favorite 5.
However, Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc have been in the boys' "let's drive mom crazy playing this yet AGAIN" rotation this week. Even though I love both movies, every other day is a bit much.
At least today they added a Star Wars variant (the one where Yoda kicks ass).

If you want truly annoying for the parents and great for the kids, grab Leapfrog's The Letter Factory and The Word Factory (only about $9 each on DVD).

Itroduce your kids to low budget horor and sci-fi movies from the 50's and 60's. You'll get a nice change of pace and they'll discover movies that are fun and don't containa lot of profanity or graphic violence.
Best Buy has a ton of collections, usually 3-4 of these movies on single DVD for $8 as well as full colletions of 10 movies acorss 4-5 DVD's.

My kids have developed an appreciation for movies like "The Wasp Woman", "The Ape" and "The Indestructible Man". I also don't have to worry about having them cover their eyes during the "boobs and butts" moments like in more modern horror movies and there isn't the profanity or graphic violence and yet, as kids, they can have fun with these fairly harmless scary movies.

People ask why I let my kids watch a movie like "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" and I say the movie's violence is cartoonish and non-graphic, there is limited amounts of profanity, no nudity and it's just a lot of silly yet scary fun. Although I do get weird looks from some of the neighborhood moms whenmy kdids wanna play Killer Klowns and act like they are throwing acid cream pies at and shooting the friends with killer popcorn guns...hahahaha
