How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) - Guilty Pleasure

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

An innocent tale of racism told with small-town warmth and ponderation. As a book, it was a classic. As a movie...it might be more.

FernGully: The Last Rainforest

The classic film from the early 90s that stuck to its environmental message like glue. Does that make it into a worthwhile flick?
