Being culterally literate is good (to an extent, anyway), and there are definitely lots of movies I want to share with my kids. But I can see the difference between myself (who didn't watch tv or movies regularly until at least thirteen) and my brothers (who've pretty much grown up with both). It's not that they aren't good, smart, intelligent kids, but I cringe when I see them defaulting to movies or tv whenever they have free time, instead of it being just one of many options.
