What do you think are the best movies involving children, but are aimed at older audiences?

Here are some that I very much enjoy.

The Fall
Tideland
Coraline
Time Bandits
Pan's Labyrinth
The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen

Ah yes, The Fall and especially Tideland are good examples of that.
It has been a while since I've seen Pan's Labrinth.. I should watch it again.

I think Coraline was trying to go for all ages of audiences, though.

I think that The Fall is my favorite movie on my list there.

Yeah I understand about Coraline that it is for all ages, but I felt that it was more then just a kids movie.

It wasn't my absolute favorite, but I thought The Fall was good too. Very unique.

I love Coraline. It was probably for all ages but it was awesome for the adults too.

9 was kind of like that for me to it just had this feel that it was for both or the adults

Ooh, just thought of a great one: Stand By Me.
Also, Oliver. Does a Clockwork Orange count? The main characters were supposed to be much younger than the actors...

I don't think I would count it. I imagine preteens at the most when I think of movies with children. Great movie though.

Akira.

I think I was like six when I first saw it.
Dad thought that, since it's an animation and has kids in it, it's a kiddy flick and decided to rent it for me.
In short, bricks were shat.

Aaaand I'd like to second Pan's Labyrinth and Let The Right One In.
