What can my 9 year old daughter and I watch that are good teachable moment movies or feel good movies? I'd like to have a mommy daughter movie night with her. She is really not into one thing so she'll be open to anything, but just want it to be something we can talk about and learn from.
Thank you all for these titles. Can't wait to get started! And I realized I didn't check my spelling on moments! Whoops...thanks again!

My girls love musicals.....

Of course, there's the Disney movies...
Tangled (just saw it, it was really cute)
Finding Nemo
We watched the movie "The Help" last Friday night. Our boys are 10 and 11. We all loved it.
I was worried that it might be too mature for them, but it wasn't at all. Remember, schools do teach some watered down information about the civil rights movement. It's a great opportunity to discuss it in a bit more depth. We all loved it.
The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, The Sound of Music, Annie, Matilda, Anne of Green Gables, Freaky Friday, Little Women, Nancy Drew, Hocus Pocus, My Dog Skip (about a boy but so good!)
I know there's more but that's what's coming to me now.
Dolphin tale
Soul Surfer
I was going to suggest Dolphin Tale, too! And what about some classics - Sound of Music, etc.
Kit Kittredge: An American Girl
My daughter is seven. We talk A LOT about life on the early American praire after any Little House on the Prarie episode. She loves Sound of Music. And Downton Abbey is our FAVORITE. ALL SEASONS.
