We do not all agree, nor should we, on what constitutes a
good movie. Some people like action movies while others
like to have a laugh and see comedies. Nevertheless,
there are some movies that have earned a reputation
as being timeless. That means that they were
considered so good that they can be watched over
and over again. Often the reason is that they
are based on a true story. Many movies can be
watched over and over again. Many movies
are classics because they influence you in
some way. Good comedy makes you laugh,
a good drama may make you cry, a good
action movie can make your heart race,
and a frightening horror movie can give
you nightmares. Read about this classic
children’s adventure from the ’80s.
