Film suggestions for 5 year olds

We've done all the good parent stuff, I'm knackered and feeling worn out with interaction.

What films can we all watch tomorrow that's on Netflix or prime which won't make me want to claw my eyes out?

We've enjoyed Jurassic park, Harry Potter, ghostbusters, labyrinth. I hate cartoons and all the usual Disney stuff (but can do Pixar at a pinch). Was thinking maybe some old school classics; they found Indiana Jones too scary, gremlins costs actual money and the goonies too slow.

Come at me with your best suggestions. I'm hoping for a day of quiet, pjs and Easter eggs and to dream of a time when my kids are old enough to appreciate dirty dancing.

Mine has loved the Parent Trap and Dr Dolittle (Eddy Murphy ones)

Ooh parent trap! Good call.

I tried Doolittle but found it really irritating. I realise I'm being really picky.

Hoodwinked is watchable for an adult and suitable for a young child. Don't know whether it's on Netflix/Prime.
