The Adams family?

Good suggestions so far, apart from hotel Transylvania as I hate it! Only because I’ve seen it so many times.

Any other ideas that are a bit more adulty? We watched I am legend last week which was about the maximum I would go with him.
Dh suggested 28 days later Grin

Is Lord of the rings too adult? Jurrasic Park?

Not sure if the age ratings, but Studio Ghibli films are lovely and The Princess Bride is great for young and old, not boring at all!

Ant man?
