I think one of the joys of being a parent is sharing the things you love with your kids. It's an extra bonus when they love them too! Sounds like you're raising those kids right! My older child is too cool right now to admit that she loves the same movie as her mom, but she has asked to watch the DVD with me several times. Does my heart good. Her favorite dwarf is Balin because "he's SO the Santa Claus of the dwarves." In fact, I enjoyed the times I saw the movie in the theater the most when there were kids in the seats around me. I remember hearing one little guy, probably around six, say to his mother in a stage whisper upon hearing "in a hole in the ground...": "Hey, that's how the book starts, Mom!" He was so excited. Just as it should be.
"I left the night, with its remote and singing stars, and came in, to the glow of the fire, and the chair where he had been sitting, and the unstrung harp." --The Last Enchantment
