'The Secret Of Roan Inish'- I know from personal experience that this is a film that has captivated an audience from ages 5 to 80 + .
10 year old Fiona is sent to live with her grandparents in a small fishing village in Donegal, Ireland. She soon learns the local legend that an ancestor of hers married a selkie -- a seal who can turn into a human. Years earlier, her baby brother washed out to sea in a cradle, and some think that he is being raised by the seals. Then Fiona catches sight of a naked little boy on the abandoned isle of Roan Inish, and takes a more active role in uncovering the mysteries which abound.
Failing that, how about:
'The Red Balloon' :
When I was a little boy, this story brought me incredible delight over and over again. When I saw this film as a young man in my 20's, it brought me delight again, letting me relive my childhood all over.
As an adult, I just introduced the book and the film to my 2 year old daughter, and once again this classic story has brought me delight. My daughter, who is usually only interested in Elmo and Barney, stood riveted through both the pages of the book and the scenes of the film, as Pascal and his balloon let her imagination soar. I cannot recommend this story more than to say 'no child should grow up without it'.

The cinematography alone is worth it.
Very good acting from the young actress who plays Fiona, and a host of Irish/British character actors familiar to anyone who's ever seen Ballykissangel or Caffrey's advertisements.
My ex-boss's mother, who used to live on an island off the coast of Scotland, was absolutely entranced and delighted.
As my boss said afterwards, it was the first film her mother had watched in about a month where she hadn't fallen asleep just before the end...Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

The Bear
The finest animal acting you will ever see in a movie. An under-appreciated minor classic, The Bear ranks as one of the finest movies of the 1980s (which isn't saying much, as it was a pretty sucky decade for movies), but The Bear would rank high regardless of when it was released.Comment
