We saw it last night as a family, and it really drives home some good lessons.

Thanks for doing this. I am going to print off your list.

Our family loves Ladyhawke. It's rated pg13, but I can't for the life of me figure out why. And I'm pretty particular about that kind of thing. Maybe because someone gets run through with a sword??

You are welcome. I'm a "list maker" and we look forward to our family movie nights.
