These 6 movies from the 90s that I can’t wait to show my kids

I think this is one of the things that I look forward to most in the years to come, when my children are old enough to finally be able to watch with them what I consider to be the best films of my childhood.

For years I have prepared a little list in my head and I can’t wait for the time to come when I can tell them: Come on tonight, let’s have a sleepover, pizza and a movie “.

I know it’s not for now, but here’s my personal list of 90s movies that rocked my childhood and would like to shake theirs soon.

1 – Hook or Captain Hook’s revenge

The story of Peter Pan who has become an adult, who is a father, overwhelmed by his work, not far from burnout, and who goes to visit Wendy who has become an old lady. One night, his children are kidnapped by the terrible Captain Hook, forcing Peter to return to Neverland to find them and reconnect with his childhood memories that he had completely hidden growing up.

2 – Jumanji

The story of Alan, a young boy, who is pushed and trapped inside a frankly creepy board game. Years after being imprisoned, two small children stumble upon the game and unknowingly free Alan and everything in the box, such as a lion, mad monkeys and a hunter who has no light on all planes. .

3 – Mom I missed the plane

Perfect movie during the Christmas holidays, Mom I missed the plane it is the most classic of the 90s classics. Yes, I know, it doesn’t mean much. The story, for those who do not know him, is that of the young Kevin who is literally forgotten by the whole family in his huge house during the Christmas holidays. Only when his parents notice that someone is missing on the plane with them, little Kevin defends his big house from totally stupid thieves, with tricks and tricks that we all tried to reproduce at least once in our childhood ( at our own risk).

4 – Jurassic park

Well, I guess I don’t teach you anything, but Jurassic Park is the story of the dinosaurs, in a park. thank you Captain Obvious ! Surely you know the story of this multimillionaire who thought that the planet was missing dinosaurs and who decided to bring them back to life using the DNA found in the body of a mosquito, himself captured in amber since the T-Rex ruled the earth.

Neither one nor two, the boy grows dinosaurs even faster than begonias, puts them in an amusement park, thinking it would be really cool if the kids could come and spin them peanuts, and still asks the experts for a spin before opening. officially to the public. Spoiler: goes wrong.

5 – The little princess

You know the series Princess Sara ? The film The little princess, it’s pretty much the same, but better (oula, I’m taking it in my head). Basically it’s the story of Sara Crewe, a rich little girl, who is left by her father in her boarding school until she goes to war. Except, spoiler, he doesn’t come back, and poor little Sara is mistreated by the wicked Miss Minchin, the stern director of the boarding school, who shows her all her colors. I’m not telling you the end, I’m not like that, but get ready to cry all the tears in your body.

6 – Casper

casper, is a ghost story that is not (too) scary. To sum it up, Catherine “Carrigan” Crittenden discovers that she has inherited a large, somewhat antiquated and haunted mansion, and she decides to call James Harvey, a parapsychologist, to get rid of the ghosts. Yes, because there seems to be a treasure in the manor and she is going to get her hands on it! James débarque donc dans la grande maison avec sa jeune fille, qui, au lieu de flipper comme toute personne normally constituée, se lie d’amitié avec le fantôme qui se fait harceler par les autres revenants, tout ça parce que “c’est un gentille “.

I would also have added all the Save Willy And The incredible journeybut I don’t know if I would take it for granted to show them movies where animals have been exploited, now that I know, with my adult eyes, what that implies.

And you, which films would you like to show him?
