Day the Earth Stood Still and Forbidden Planet are ‘required’. Haha. Robinson Crusoe on Mars is great.

The Black Hole is a Disney movie.

How about some TV?

Classic: Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, need I mention, Star Trek?

Current: Lost in Space, …

(Yikes. If 2001 is slow and boring, Solaris (1972) is watching paint dry. Sheesh)

… age appropriate is difficult, ahaha. You could also try your local library, the might have DVDs of TV shows and staff usually have kids section, and classics separate.
