Super 8 opens this weekend and it looks amazing!   The directing amazing, acting is terrific and the writing is fully ridic. (Don’t believe me? Check out these best Super 8 quotes.)

In honor of the movie of the summer, I’m breaking down the Top 5 best action adventure flicks for kids. Moroccan and Monroe are a little young for these bad boys, but you better believe I bought the DVDs.

Sit down. Grab some popcorn. Let’s get watching.

5. ET

Who is that? Is that the one and only Drew Barrymore? Damn, she looks young.

4. Spy Kids

One of my all time favorite directors, Robert Rodriguez, brought this movie to life. Little kids have to defeat a league of bad guys to save their parents and the world. Best. Movie. Ever.

3. Stand By Me

I know it’s an oldie, but it’s a goodie.

2. Adventures in Baby Sitting

Who said adventures were just for dudes.

1. Goonies

Goonies never say die! Neither should you.

Keep the adventure going. Come back here every day for a hot new list.
