Our Favorite Boy Movies of All Time

My husband was raised on a steady diet of classic rock (think Roy Orbison and Neil Young) and classic films (John Wayne and Gary Cooper.) When I birthed our third son, something was born in my husband's boy-loving heart... a passion to share his favorite music and movies with his sons. There's no better time to crank up the music than poolside in the summertime. Likewise, when the afternoon sun wears the kids out, and it's time for a break, a good movie in an air-conditioned room is the perfect treat!

And so I bring you, a list of our favorite movies to enjoy this summer!

Special thanks to the man who builds tree forts, takes boys on motorcycle camping trips, teaches them to worship, and is always up for an adventure.

You're our favorite dad, Matty B.
