Babysitters. Everyone has had one or more in their lifetime. Some are amazing, letting you stay up late and swear. Others can be nightmares, enforcing rules and never straying too far from the “emergency numbers,” like you were going to burn the house down. Bottom line is babysitters come in all variations and with Jonah Hill’s The Sitter coming out this week we’d thought we’d take a look at the top ten sitter movies. We were going to do top “Fat Jonah” flicks, but thought this would be more fun for everyone.

Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer (2011)
Judy ends up bound to a summer with her wild and wacky aunt, and while the parents are away, a charting system guides the gals and Judy’s pals on an unforgettable adventure.

Role Models (2008)
Not all babysitting is on a paid basis, sometimes it’s court mandated. Quick question, who wouldn’t want to be forced to hang with Christopher Mintz-Plasse?

First Kid (1996)
Probably the most important babysitting job in the country and the job was given to Sinbad. Mighty fine choice…in 1996.

Uncle Buck (1989)
Almost everyone that that uncle. The one the family is scared to mention his name, out of fear he’ll appear. But when you need a sitter on a short notice it calls for desperate times. In the end John Hughes fails to disappoint.

Bebe’s Kids (1992)
Men will do anything for some sexy times, even taking on the world’s most ghetto, back talking gang ever known to man. That group mixed with the theme park from hell, Fun World! Fun World!

Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
So the senior citizen who’s been watching you is really your dad. No, you won’t need therapy when you’re older at all.

The Baby-Sitters Club (1995)
Based on a beloved set of books and brought to life, this world was centered on a group of girls who babysat. To leave it out would be ludicrous. And it’s the only one on the list with a badass theme song, “When you really need a friend…”

Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead (1991)
Nothing’s better than your mom saying you don’t need a sitter than having one and having her croak early on in her sentence. Well, it’s bad when the “old broad” had all your survival money on her when you dumped her at the morgue and have to find a way to survive all summer while your mom’s down under.

Mary Poppins (1964)
Everyone wished for a sweet British woman to fly down from the sky with an umbrella, sing them angelic notes and of course, that bottomless purse.

Adventures in Babysitting (1987)
Arguments can be made all day over which is the best, but until a movie can contain a cheating boyfriend, toe stabbing, carjacking, and a Blues song to sum it up, there will never be a better babysitting one.
