Are you a child? Do you have a child? Do you want to have a child? Well, whatever, if any of those apply to you, then you need this article in your life. See, the thing is, I was once a child. And as a child, I watched a lot of movies. Now listen up, cause I'm about to lay some straight truth on you: your child will never be as cool as me. But, don't give up hope! If you make your child watch these ten movies, then they will definitely grow up to have a sliver of my air of superiority, as well as the mouth of a sailor. So let's go.
