Here are ten good movies that will appeal to gifted kids. The “Harry Potter” movies bring the characters and the stories from the books to life. Gifted kids will be engrossed by the story of two children’s attempt to help E.T. get back home. My son watched this movie for the first time when he was about six years old, and from the first moment wanted nothing more than to go to a space camp ourselves—which we managed to make happen when he was eight. An issue this movie covers is the supposed objective reporting of people that the subjects of the reporting might not see as so objective. This is an issue that some gifted kids may need to deal with in their own lives.
