The Iron Giant (1999)

Watch this with your kids.

This is easily the best animated film I saw as a child. Recently having watched it again as an 18 year old, even my dad was emotionally touched by this movie.

It is simply a work of art people of all ages can enjoy. The animation is done perfectly and it contains both scary, funny and emotional moments. This makes the movie complete. Aside from that, your child might pick up some important life lessons that are not common in animated movies.

If you have a girl, she might not like the movie as much. The story is about a boy and there are barely any girly things in this movie. She might not relate to what is happening.

I guarantee you, you will love this movie.

The Old Gun (1975)

A wonderful movie - but I must notify of one bad feature.

Many people have already made clear why this movie is so incredibly good. It is definitely worth watching.

There is one thing however that bothers me in this movie. Without spoiling, you will see that this man cares so much more about his wife than his daughter. This is awfully unrealistic for the hero in a movie, but necessary seen the famous actress playing the wife (they had to give her more screen time).

Other than that, the action is great for its time. It is a realistic revenge story, so don't expect Jason Statham killing over a 100 Nazi's in half an hour. This movie keeps it real and touches your heart, don't watch it for the action.
