I'm on vacation. But you can help out!

Seeking suggestions: Best movies for kids, non-current, non-Disney (or at least non-CGI) and non-obvious preferred.

    Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein

    This film scared the crap out of me when I was 10 years old in the late 60's. Especially the part when Lon Chaney Jr. morphed into the wolfman via time lapse photography. This to me was the height of special effects!

    When my kids were around 10, I showed it to them at a birthday party. They laughed continuously and commented how fake (!) the wolfman scene was.

    Its great for birthday parties.

    (I rented other Abbott and Costello movies ... not very good)
