Sense & Sensibility (Special Edition)Sense & Sensibility (Special Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $3.98
This movies is romantic, yet clean. The charcters do not kiss, yet you feel that nothing is missing because they don't. Some might find Mr. Willoghby's history to be a tade rough for their children, but this is a very remote possibility.

Emma (A&E, 1997)Emma (A&E, 1997)
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $4.99

Pride and Prejudice (BBC, 1980)Pride and Prejudice (BBC, 1980)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.48
The lighting of this movie is somewhat tedious, but is the best portrayal of book's characters. You might find Lydia's story objectionable, but as it the early 1800's it is very descreet. This movie is 5 hours long, but broken up into 1 hr segements.
North & SouthNorth & South

This movie is complex,moving and romantic. Adults will enjoy the thougth provoking depth. In episode 3 a dead man's purple face is shown, in the 1st episode a man is beaten, though not badly. It is almost 4 hours long but broken into 1 hr. epsiodes.

Beauty and the Beast (Special Platinum Edition)Beauty and the Beast (Special Platinum Edition)

A very cute story of how a girl learns to care for what is inside rather than what is on the outside. Small children may be frightened by the beast.
Mulan (Special Edition)Mulan (Special Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.94
A Disney movie based on a true Chinese story. It is a very cute story and to me, very touching. Some people might object to some of the humor, but it is very mild and not at all to compared with movies like Shrek.
Aladdin (Disney Special Platinum Edition)Aladdin (Disney Special Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $16.99
A hugely popular Disney film set in the Middle East. It has some good moral lesson for parents who are interested in that. It is a fun, entertaining movie. Some people might object the the sorcere Jafar. Please note however this is a good/evil story.
Christmas in ConnecticutChristmas in Connecticut
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $5.64
A cute black and white Christmas story. You will probably find it to be one of your favorites. Adorable and comical.
Anne of Green GablesAnne of Green Gables
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $12.98
A very adorable story about a little redhead orphan in Canada. Very sweet children's movie that also manage to be an adult's story too. This and it's sequel are based on books.
Anne of Green Gables - The SequelAnne of Green Gables - The Sequel
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $17.20
This is the continuing story of Anne you are sure to love. The other movie that follow this is not of the same quality and only in about 2 points follows any of the books in the series.

The story of a girl who sees the sunshine in everything. You will enjoy her adventures too.
The Parent Trap (Vault Disney Collection)The Parent Trap (Vault Disney Collection)
Buy used from: $13.99
This cute story is infinitely more original than the remake. You can actually picture these girls pulling these pranks. Not only that they are a nice glimpse of the old days without being so locked in time that you hate them. Stars Hayley Mills and Maureen O'Hara
The Moon-SpinnersThe Moon-Spinners
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $6.26
Another Hayley Mills movie of intrigue in Greece. Because it is a mystery there is some violence involved, but it is not vivid. It would probably scare younger children. Note it is based on a book which is NOT recommeded.
The Christmas Box / TimepieceThe Christmas Box / Timepiece
Buy used from: $29.98
A charming story about spending time with your family and it's importance
Little WomenLittle Women
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $7.44
This older version of the story is the best portrayl Jo's character. It is sad however that they don't show Amy's trip to Europe. I can think of nothing objectionable in this one. You may find you like the one below as well.
Little Women (Collector's Series)Little Women (Collector's Series)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $3.49
This movies follows the book very well for the first part. I sincerly enjoy it for that. This movie does portray Amy's trip to Europe, if not as accurately. Some objections of this movie is that the family's beliefs seem to reflect more 20th century ones. Meg's and Jo's make out scenes with their respective boyfriends seem out of character with the book.
The Slipper and the RoseThe Slipper and the Rose
Buy used from: $93.01
A very cute Cinderella story. You may find the beautiful songs rolling around in your head. Note that there is one cuss word, that being hell, but it is only used once. Also there is a scene in a chapel, but the character is not praying to God, but sorta of praying/talking to Cinderella. Make me a tad uncomfortable, but you can decide for yourself.
HeidiHeidi
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.75
The story of the Swiss girl who goes to live with her Grandfather in the Alps. Please note this is a long movie. But it is good family entertainment.

The Quiet Man (Collector's Edition)The Quiet Man (Collector's Edition)

The lovely black and white version of Jane Eyre. It is rather gothic, so you might want to watch alone first.
Bringing Up Baby (Two-Disc Special Edition)Bringing Up Baby (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy used from: $11.93
