Are you a child? Do you have a child? Do you want to have a child? Well, whatever, if any of those apply to you, then you need this article in your life. See, the thing is, I was once a child. And as a child, I watched a lot of movies. Now listen up, cause I'm about to lay some straight truth on you: your child will never be as cool as me. But, don't give up hope! If you make your child watch these ten movies, then they will definitely grow up to have a sliver of my air of superiority, as well as the mouth of a sailor. So let's go.
1. Tropic Thunder

Two unlikely friends become the best brothers in the entire world in this cutesy film. Recommended for siblings who tend to argue, this easygoing, inspiring narrative lays out the emotional struggle of two men who learn to love again. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you may want to turn away at times, but "Step Brothers" could not be more of a family-oriented movie.
4. The Godfather
It's never too early to learn about family values! This film begins with a wedding scene, and a beautiful family gathering.

Oh, how precious these young days are. So sit back, relax, and enjoy "The Godfather."
