The Great Escape (1963 version)
The Third Man

After watching The Great Escape, the next week you should watch Chicken Run. To fully appreciate all the humor in Chicken Run, you need the background from The Great Escape.

Die Hard, but not the whole series
Fast & Furious, the whole series

Under no circumstances let him watch Fast and Furious series. Or The Italian Job.

Two great calls.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl

Sit the boy down for a MST3K marathon.

Mik, why no Fast and Furious? He loves cars in general and muscle cars in particular.

Treasure of the Sierra Madre

[Catseye3]

The Magnificent Seven, provisionally. The 1960 one, with Yul Brynner. Provisionally because I don't remember if there was any alarming violence. The bad guys get some in the end, I think mostly just BOOM, fall down, but I don't remember beyond that.

Maybe somebody here remembers.

You do not want him to imprint on that sort of driving. While it is unlikely he will ever have to fight raptors or Afghans, he will be driving one day, sooner than you'd like.

But just in case you didn't get it, Second Hand Lions.

[Catseye3]

Guns of Navarone
Princess Bride, maybe? Maybe too gooshy.

Creepy. Hopefully that's not a deterrent.
