My Side of the Mountain (1969)
I loved both the book and the movie

If you're looking for good clean adventure, it's here.
The relationship between the boy and 'his' mountain, the animals, and the other people is well portrayed and thought provoking. I found it amusing that even in the middle of nowhere he kept a journal - proof that he was not running from the benefits of civilization just the 'boxed in' feeling. His parents' choices are also noteworthy. I started out not thinking too much of them and changing my mind by the end.
How often we live in our own little worlds and think we have all there is. There's so much more out there! I loved it as a kid and still enjoy it as an adult. I look forward to watching it with my kids.
