The miners, as well as Billy What's the story? Is it any good? Talk to your kids about Our editors recommend. The Full Monty. Who knew male strippers could be so sweet?

Bend It Like Beckham. Superb tale of a girl's struggle for her dreams. There is a lot of crude and profane language in this film. Some is British, some you'd recognize. There's a conversation between two kids in which one mentions that her parents sleep separately "so they don't have sex," and mentions that the father had an affair.

There is a minor character who is homosexual. I think that's fine for older kids and might go right over the heads of grade-schoolers.

This is a powerful and uplifting work of art, and can have a positive effect on adults and children. Just be prepared for a few discussions before and afterwards - that in itself makes the experience more fruitful.

Even my daughter commented on how even side characters had "something to care about. Several mentions of sex but the Irish accents are so strong that my kids mostly missed them. They thought "fanny" was "bunny. Do watch this one with the kids Adult Written by KatieP 10 January 31, Brilliant movie I watched this movie when I was a child and loved it ever since, its so touching and educational at the same time, yes there is violence and swearing but it just makes it more effective.

It shows young people that boys can do ballet too, its not just for girls! Helped me decide. Parent of a 11 and year-old Written by Emily H. January 2, Inspirational, emotional story The main storyline is about an year old boy, from a working class background, who discovers a love of ballet.

The family struggles with poverty and loss in the context of mining strikes in northern England - these themes add emotional depth and a broader historical perspective to Billy's inspiring and touching story. A great watch - there is a lot of bad language, including parents with their kids, and all the adults smoke - so be aware. Had useful details. Parent of a 10 and year-old Written by Eamonn June 3,
