ONE THAT COULD BE AN HONORABLE MENTION
Ted (2012) - Sure, this is an interesting glorification of high school and early college habits; the main titles are magical; and the title toy is equally endearing as a gruff adult as a child. That said, I don't particularly care for Seth MacFarlane's sense of humor, which is quite interested in making obscure in-jokes (which is also slightly true on his Family Guy).
ONE THAT I DISAGREE TO PUT HERE
Braveheart (1995) - Why the Times listed this one is beyond me. While it is undoubtedly a very good historical parable on the importance of adult decisions (among others), it plays pretty darn straight, and could contend for the school of opera that Tom Reynolds said makes Shakespeare's "Hamlet look like an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants."
ONE THAT ILLUSTRATES THE TIMES'S SEPARATION
From Justin to Kelly (2003) - This is the kind of movie that tries to qualify for such a list as this. But if you've seen this movie and you're not a 13-year-old girl, you'll know why it fails.
