What is your favourite (non-animated) family movie?

[TattiePants]

I need some inspiration for films that are suitable for DS13 and DD8. DS has mostly grown out of animated films and likes Star Wars, Avengers etc but DD is a bit young / isn't interested in those.

Films they both like are Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, Night at the Museum, Jumanji, Jurassic Park. I'm going to try The Goonies but what else would you recommend. (For my sanity, no Macaulay Culkin or Jim Carey!)

Shame he’s a total idiot now but Tom Hanks films from the 80s were popular with mine at that age. They used to love The Burbs.

Is Tom Hanks an idiot now?

We watched Big recently which our children enjoyed. The whole child-in-adult's-body-being-seduced thing went over their heads (as it did mine at that age!).

(Shame he’s a total idiot now*

Wash your mouth out! The man is wonderful!

Definitely Cool Runnings! I'm really looking forward to my children being old enough to watch it.

I LOVE a film called Penelope with James Mcavoy.
