Good movies to watch as a family

DP and DD (age 7) have recently decided to do a movie night each week, where we all put an idea for what we want to watch in a hat, then pick one each week to watch together. DP and DD seem to have quite a few ideas but I’m at a loss as to what to choose. Can anyone please recommend movies you enjoyed as a family, but pref not animated/cartoon type stuff? Thank you!

Forgot to say, we’ve so far seen Peter Pan, Jurassic Park, White Chicks, Lego Movie, Shrek, Cinderella, Alice Through The Looking Glass...

Elflocks - thanks, some great suggestions. DD is reading The Secret Garden atm, so that would be good!

We used to do this taking turns to choose the film. I remember some favourites were

Mrs Doubtfire
Marley and me
Big
Hocus Pocus

There were lots more I can't recall right now

Paddington (I think first is better)
Cinderella (the recent one...it's not animated)
Home Alone
Honey I shrunk the kids
Mrs Doubtfire (though it's a 12 rating so maybe a little old for your DC)
Any of the Diary of a wimpy kid films

formerbabe · 01/11/2018 16:06

Oh and how could I forget
Charlie and the chocolate factory!
