I am going to be a father and am making a jellyfin setup for my child. I want to start early to make a good collection of movies and shows. So I am interested in knowing what other people experienced as positive influences in their lives.

Edit: English and Norwegian is fine, but I can always get dubbed versions of other languages. We will be speaking English and Norwegian with our child from birth. But want to introduce our child to many types of cultures, religions etc.

Edit 2: Thanks so much for so many great responses. Some of you must have spent quite some time compiling the list. Truly appreciate that โ™ฅ๏ธ

Finding Nemo was one that I always watched with my dad/makes me think of him

The Incredibles is always good

Wall-e is another favorite (tbh any disney/pixar movie from that era)

The Princess Bride is a classic

The Lego Movie came out when I was in highschool but its still a great kids movie

The Sam Raimi Spiderman trilogy, Tim Burton's Batman movies, and other superhero movies of that era

Any Wallace and Grommet movie (my favorite was the one where they go to the moon to eat cheese)

YES Wallace and Gromit is so fun, and I love introducing stop-motion animation to kids. And looking at them all, these movies seem to have a love for older pulpy genres like monster movies and noir
