The 20 Best Movies for Kids

THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY (2001-2003) "]

But many will love one of cinema's truly great friendships: Frodo (Elijah Wood) and his best friend, Sam (Sean Astin) — along with a whole host of other people and creatures — take a very powerful ring to the end of Middle Earth to save their world. Nothing can come between them or their appointed task. They're like wee little mailmen, who deliver themselves from evil. Even the smallest of us can do great things is as fine a moral as you'll find.
