    Two More Movies...

    I'd recommend two more movies for your list, Tron, and Mr. Bean's Holiday.

    Yes, I know you have a strict, anti-Disney thang going on here, but one could hardly consider Tron as part of what is likely being abhorred. It's a great action-adventure flick, and the special effects are unique and stand-out to this day, and more importantly, do not take over the movie. It's good stuff, and fun for the whole family. ;^)

    Mr. Bean's Holiday is a fun romp, and I think is a worthy successor to the types of silent, physical comedies pioneered and mastered by Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.

    Farrell

    PS - I've also seen 'The General', and it was great fun! :-D
