I am breaking the Kasdan Family Blog out of retirement to post the results of a request for some help
picking out an awesome movie of our youth:
“As part of our kids' ongoing
education, we have been introducing Jacob (and Lauren) to the game-changing
movies of our youth. To give you a sense of the category we have so far gone
for, over the past years we done Short Circuit, Goonies, and Spaceballs. What are your ideas for
more "must see" movies from our youth!?"
