List of family friendly movies we enjoyed, anyone want to help me compile one?

[WideWebWitch]

Does anyone want to add theirs? With a brief bit about why you enjoyed it if you feel like it.

My children are currently watching the wonderful Nanny McPhee, (I think Emma Thompson is wonderful), which we all love and recently we've enjoyed:

One night at the museum, slapstick, much better than the reviews said imo
Flushed away, animation about a pet rat and how he copes when he meets sewer rats
The Incredibles, superheroes in exile, lots of fab mid life crisis stuff, plenty for adults too
Shrek 1&2, obviously, bear watching and re watching
Peter Pan live action version
An old film (1994) which dh found in Woolworths for £3, called Baby's Day Out which dd loves, live action, baby escapes kidnappers, peril ensues, all ends well

[geekgirl]

we also loved night at the museum, WWW sometimes I think the reviewers are just so far up their own backsides they struggle to see what's going on on the screen, anyway

[foxinsocks]
