As a kid I had no tv service so we had a vcr and only a few tapes: the BBC lion, the witch and the wardrobe (the one from the 80's where Aslan is basically a stuffed animal), Zorba the Greek, Footloose, Labyrinth, the French Muzzy tapes and the OG Star Wars. As far as I was concerned Muzzy was amazing and Footloose was obviously a cinema classic and we used to do that weird 80's dance all the time. My grandmother's house had 3 channels and so I watched a lot of Murder she wrote, that super weird 80's soap opera Beauty and the Beast and Matlock when I hung out with them. Things like Disney movies were really really special treats that we watched when the adults wanted all of us cousins to leave them alone while they partied at like New Years or family parties.

Kids can only really watch what is available so get them into the things you can stand and just don't have the rest around. We went with a projector, screen and DVD player/netflix so that we can watch tv when we want (or stream current tv shows through a browser), play playstation but the tv isn't present until you bring the screen down and we don't get tv service so it's whatever is on netflix or we buy a dvd for.
