Movies like Driving Lessons, Ballet Shoes, and October Sky?
LOVE movies form the UK and also ones that take place before the 1960s. I also like movies about kids in sicence fares and about rocket science and stuff. Also, those girly dramas aren’t bad! I’m up for light dramas and good commedies. DO NOT WATCH R RATED MOVIES! PG13 and below, please!
Finding Neverland
Cinderella man
The Worlds fastest indian
Billy Elliot
Across the universe
The Astronaut farmer
Into the wild

The Red Shoes – Criterion Collection $23.99 It’s been said that this 1948 classic has been responsible for the ballet lessons of more young girls than any other film.
