Bring Back the Classics

When we were at the library this weekend I happened to see Parent Trap, and Pollyanna.

I'm not talking about the Lindsay Lohan version of Parent Trap. Not that there's anything wrong with that version. I was in a Hayley Mills mood.

Mica and Isaak got a little taste of the Lindsay Lohan version of Parent Trap during our vacation. They seemed to enjoy it.

I figured they'd like Hayley Mills just the same. They were both excited to watch the movies. Most boys would be like, "This is a girl flick!" I didn't hear any of that.

It's nice that Isaak and Mica get into superhero flicks, The Lego Movie, How to Train Your Dragon, as well as Little House on the Prairie, Pollyanna, Heidi, and Parent Trap.

I was talking to my co-workers about how Pollyanna, Old Yeller, Swiss Family Robinson, and more have never been redone (that I know of) since the 60s, or 70s. Parent Trap and Freaky Friday have both been redone. One coworker said, "It's because the others are not sexy enough."

Do you agree that some of the classics haven't been redone because they simply are not sexy enough?

My boys seemed to enjoy the flicks regardless.

What movies did you like when you were little?
