Good family movie for a wet afternoon!!!

[Thoughtsfortheday]

Looking for a movie that would entertain fussy teens, 9yo and myself.

Non cartoon as it’s quite nice we can watch actual films now and we have done Disney and Pixar to death.

Previous films that have been enjoyed.

The Help
Interstella
Miss Potter
Pursuit of Happiness
Goodnight Mr Tom
Lion

I’ve looked at Bohemian Rhapsody twice but feel might be a bit much for youngest however would love to find something with a music theme as all 3 girls musical.

Finding Ohana
Fighting with my family
Daddy’s home
Wimpy kid the Long haul
Any of the jumanji films

Agree with Paddington.

Both films had me and ds in hysterics!

Oh and Daddy's home and the sequel are also really funny.

Another vote for cool runnings. Wonder is a lovely movie too.

Bridge to Terabithia was always a hit with mine at similar ages.

Pitch Perfect or Footloose. But Pitch Perfect really.

You can thank me later.

It's not entirely age appropriate but it's great.

Mary Poppins?

Love and Monsters on Netflix is a great family adventure film.

Fighting with my Family

We used to do a film night on a Saturday night. Films my then teens enjoyed: the Star Wars films, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, The Princess Bride, Shrek (but you said not cartoon).

I recently saw The Great Escape was on Netflix and watched it all the way through for the first time in decades. It was always on at Christmas in the 1970s. I'd say it was pretty much suitable for a 9 year old. I was certainly about that when I watched it. The old classics are classics for a reason.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople?

Home alone

WildSwimming3, that's a Christmas movie! Brilliant but not for May 😂

@NoSquirrels

We Bought a Zoo Mamma Mia Pitch Perfect (but check you’re happy for 9 yr old)

Yes! We bought a Zoo was fantastic!

Definitely Hidden Figures

School of Rock is brilliant and on Netflix

The Jumanji films are great, we also loved Instant Family & Mitchells v Machines.

School of Rock is class!!

Dead Poets Society
Patch Adams
Temple Grandin
Little Women (the original)

Our DC liked the Italian Job (Michael Caine) and the earlier James Bonds with Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan.

Yes. Cool Runnings was a hit too.

Not sure of the spelling but my DS’ use to love Zathura, space themed.

We went for The princess Bride but feel like it feels a two movie night tonight!!!

My 9yr old and I watched Tom's midnight Garden on prime the other day. We both loved it
