What happened to non-animated PG movies for kids? As a child growing up in the 80s we had E.T., Star Wars, Goonies, Back to the Future, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc.  Now the only PG movies that come out from Hollywood are animated, which I consider to be lazy.  Movies that use to be considered kid movies have all gone dark a la Batman and the upcoming Superman.  It would be nice to take my 8 year old daughter to a movie that wasn't animated for a change.

Oh wow, I just realized that all of the movies I rattled off involved Spielberg.  Did I just answer my own question?  We need the old Spielberg back or a new Spielberg for this generation.
