Movie Theater Need some recommendations: films for young boys 1st - 3rd grade

[D̷e̷v̷i̷l̷D̷o̷c̷A̷Z̷]

Its almost that time of year when funcle Doc sends the guys some Christ-mass gifts.

This summer they spent the evenings watching some movies I thought were appropriate. Some of the tag lines upset their mama when they wouldn’t quit.

I think the one they enjoyed most were:
-Sandlot
-Rookie of the Year
-Little Rascals
-Little Giants

Pretty much any kind of “little boy” film where they could see themselves as the characters.

Oh wise Sage of the BearPit, I come to you again seeking knowledge, what “KID THEMED” films should I introduce next?

TV was better during my childhood than today.
