Disney The Parent Trap [DVD] [1998] & Mary Poppins [DVD]

The Parent Trap [DVD] [1998] Hallie Parker and Annie James are two young girls living thousands of miles apart who have one thing in common: they are in fact identical twins. American Hallie and Brit Annie (both played by Lindsay Lohan) discover they share the same genes when they bump into each other at summer camp, and subsequently join forces to reunite their estranged parents (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson). A contemporary remake of the 1961 Disney classic. Mary Poppins [DVD] Stuffy parents in Victorian London are looking for a nanny, but the children write their own ad which is torn up and thrown into the fire. Miraculously, the paper reassembles and floats up the chimney flue, and along comes Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) on her umbrella/parachute. She brings fun and magic to the children's lives, as well as a guiding hand. The film won Oscars for Best Actress, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Song and Best Visual Effects.
