Pot, kettle, black.  Look at all of the Hollywood knock-offs of french
cinema:
The Birdcage, Three Men and a Baby, The Man with One Red Shoe, Point of
No Return.

I have always wanted to watch Monty Python's Holy Grail followed
immediately by
Excalibur.

Films for when the wife and kids return:
My Neighbour Tottoro
Kiki's Delivery Service
Any of the VeggieTales stories (WARNING:  VeggieTales is a blatant
attempt to
inculcate children with christian virtues, not that this is a bad thing
IMHO, and
they are very entertaining, all the same, even for adults)
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
