You should show them a movie like The Corpse Bride or The Nightmare before Christmas.. or the Polar Express.

Chinese children LOVE those movies.

What are your keeper flicks? If people know what you like it's easier to recommend something similar.

It's been awhile since I watched something that really impressed me, but Road to Paloma is a flick I did enjoy. It's quite recent, like 2014.

Firstly, I suggest you buy yourself a projector... and preferably 3D. I went BenQ W1070. It's only about the size of a wide shoebox, and lighter than a pair of boots - so you can take it with you when you move around (or go back home). Price is about 5000RMB - but it should be with you for quite a few years (so, in my mind, very much worth it!) Don't need the screen, a nice white wall will do the job well enough. And also, a decent audio system (home theatre, or just gaming system from the pc). Make sure it has good base! (hearing GoT's theme with a good base out of 6-surround sound speakers is great!! )

If you get that set-up, then the Hobbit movies look awesome (visually - although perhaps not the actual movie... talking about the last one..!)

And gaming can be great (if you're into it)... 3D on a 3mx2m wall with surround sound!!! (I'm keeping myself off such things until my dissertation is finished!)

While movies are good, don't forget tv series!

As for what you should watch... all depends on taste! My keepers are rare... LotR etc, and other stuff on my other external HDD...
