"The Ten Commandments" (1956)

Watch the movie that defined the word "epic." While some of the effects may look dated by today's standards, the look and feel of this film never goes out of style.MPAA Rating: G

"Easter Parade" (1948)
There's a reason Irving Berlin's music is featured twice on our list -- he's the best at what he does. Judy Garland and Fred Astaire sing and dance their way through Berlin-penned numbers as they prepare for an upcoming Easter parade.MPAA Rating: G
