I introduced my kids (4, 7 and 9) to the Princess Bride recently, that was a big hit!

Harry Potter? Not the later ones, but the first one should be fine.

Have you seen the newer Disney one, think it's Ivan? We watched it last week and enjoyed it.

Labyrinth. Best. Film. Ever.
Fact. Grin

Netflix have just put on Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory and also the 1971 version too. Mary Poppins on Disney+ is good too.

janaus50s · 04/09/2020 13:23

Karate Kid. Then Cobra Kai on Netflix

CiderGlider · 04/09/2020 13:23

My kids (10 & 7) loved The One and Only Ivan and loved it. It's available on Disney+.

Harry and the Henderson's!!

Spirael · 04/09/2020 13:29

Have you tried any of the Studio Ghibli films on Netflix?

My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, The Cat Returns, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, etc. All awesome for family film nights. Safe for the children, but also entertaining for adults.
