Last night, the young wife and I watched Secondhand Lions, starring Robert Duvall and Michael Caine, who play two elderly brothers retired in Texas after a life of adventure. I quite enjoyed it, and it struck me that it was one of those rare movies that could be enjoyed by both children and adults (albeit on different levels). That got me thinking about what other films might be good for when the grandchildren come over, but not intolerable for their grandparents. In addition to this one, I would say that The Princess Bride and Babe fit the bill. Both are wholesome on the face of it, but filled with subversive humor that the kids won't notice or understand. Anyone else have nominations?
