Gosh there must be more but people have already added a lot of great ones, but I haven’t seen these commented yet.

I thought Father Goose was an exceptionally good film - still a favourite of mine.

The scene where he slaps a woman to get her respect didn't age well, but the rest is great.

-Father Goose

Father Goose is just so damned fucking tight - every question it begs is satisfied, even glancing relationships / interactions pay out, it's got a cast of children that aren't fuckin annoying, it's got a drunk you feel sympathy for.... that film hits on all cylinders.
