I last did a similar list a couple of years ago, when my daughter was three. There I mentioned getting her to watch Jan Svankmajer’s version of Alice in Wonderland by the time she’s four. Well, it took me a year later, and though it’s not on the list, she did love watching it, aged five. Really, though, I don’t know how half this stuff gets on her list. Grease? Star Wars? Pirates of the Caribbean? And only three films from the last decade? I’d have a word with her mother.
