1. The Harry Potter Film Series (2001-2011)

Vibrant, heartfelt, and visually stunning, The Book of Life celebrates the Mexican tradition of Día de los Muertos through the story of Manolo (voiced by Diego Luna), a young musician torn between family expectations and following his heart.

5. Edward Scissorhands (1990)
From the mind of Tim Burton comes this modern-day fairytale about an artificial man with scissors for hands who just wants to belong. When Edward (Johnny Depp) is discovered and taken in by a suburban family, his gentle spirit and unique talent for trimming hedges (and hair!) capture everyone’s hearts — until fear and misunderstanding creep in. Whimsical, moving, and visually iconic, Edward Scissorhands is a Halloween classic for dreamers of all ages.

6. Goosebumps (2015)
When the monsters from R.L. Stine’s beloved Goosebumps books are accidentally unleashed from their pages, it’s up to a group of teens — and the author himself (played by Jack Black) — to stop the chaos before it’s too late. Packed with laughs, thrills, and nostalgic nods to the classic stories, Goosebumps is the perfect pick for kids who like their scares a little silly.
