    Ultimate family DVDs

    French films cross over so well, don't they? I know I'm late to the party, but I have an addition for the French Collection. Maybe I'm overdosing on Le Tour right now, but I must have The Triplets of Belleville. No dialogue--hence no irksome sub-titles, great soundtrack, gripping plot, fun characters, and an introduction to bicycle racing, sort of.

    For older kids I would toss in an Italian film, The Bicycle Thief.

    And don't forget Breaking Away for your t(w)eenagers.
