5. The Birds (Netflix)

A wealthy socialite traveling to California is caught in a terrifying ordeal when flocks of birds suddenly begin attacking the residents of Bodega Bay. As the bird attacks grow more frequent and violent, she teams up with a local lawyer and his family to survive the relentless onslaught. This classic 1963 movie was directed by legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock and received an Oscar nomination for visual effects. Due to violence and its unsettling nature, it’s probably not best for young children, even if it’s far more tame than modern thrillers. PG-13.

6. Reagan (Home Video)

An actor named Ronald jumps into politics, driven by his concern about communism and big government. Reagan is a faith-filled biopic about America’s 40th president, tracing his journey from a talented boy in Illinois to Hollywood and then to the White House. “God has a purpose for your life,” his mother tells him early in the film. Dennis Quaid is as excellent as Reagan, perfectly capturing his mannerisms, distinctive speech patterns, and undeniable charisma. Rated PG-13 for violent content and smoking. It also contains minor language.

7. Clifford the Big Red Dog (Netflix)

A fourth-grade girl named Emily Elizabeth finds the friend she desperately needs in the form of a red puppy who mysteriously grows larger the more she loves him. This charming film is based on the popular book series by author Norman Bridwell, who penned more than 100 titles about the bond between a girl and her friendly dog, who grows to be nearly as big as a house. The film is a mixture of live-action and animation and includes several good messages. (Emily is picked on at school but learns that unique people are the “ones that change the world.”) Rated PG for impolite humor, thematic elements and mild action. Clearplay offers a filter.
