Dime with a Halo (1963)
You'll be rooting for these boys...
This is a sweet story of hope, faith, disappointment, and plenty of life's lessons all centered around very likeable and wise boys. You will want everything to go their way even when they make some not-so-wise choices. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the lines that these very young men delivered in a very natural way. The boys were street-wise and yet very innocent and delivered witty lines that made this comedic drama worth watching anytime it is aired. I read the comments that disagree on whether this movie is kid appropriate. I'm pretty picky about that but I think I'd have no problem having my 11 year-old grandson watching it with me.
Girl Vs. Monster (2012)
Perfect little pre-teen and tween Halloween movie... but I like it too
I'm neither a tween nor a pre-tween but I watch this every Halloween season. Colorful fanciful movie with two particularly talented stars, Olivia Holt and Benward. It's not serious but too scary for very little ones but I think just right for 9 and above. It has a full storyline, even if unrealistic, because my gosh... it's a monster movie so how realistic should it be? I think it's adorable and perfect Halloween fun anytime of the year.
I also thought the special effects were pretty well done for a TV movie so not sure why some other griped about that.
I'd like to see Disney bring back fun little movies like this. No embedded messaging, just plain fun.
