[Publib] Re: Children's movies

[Amanda Brewer]

Our teens have done a similar movie program. Here are some of the recent titles we've shown (all were suggested by our Teen Board members): 
   
  Transformers (we had a 30 people turnout!)
  Becoming Jane (we had 25 people turnout!)
  Enchanted (to be shown next month)
  Hairspray (to be shown this month)
  Amazing Grace (20 people showed up)
  Evan Almighty (20 people showed up)
  Spiderman 2
  World Trade Center
  Ghost Rider
   
   
  We found it works great to pick a consistent day on which to show movies. For us, the 2nd Saturday on the month @ 2 p.m. has worked great. The crowds may be slim at first, but stick with it and it should grow!
   
  Enjoy!

  I would love suggestions on this as well! We have been
trying a Teen Movie night once a month. The first month we
watched Holes (which they deemed too boring), and last month
we watched The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (too weird).
I'm trying to come up with something PG rated (or light
PG-13) that isn't too tame for our teens. I'm thinking of
trying some MST3K next month, but that might be a bit old
fashioned for our teens ...
