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.

Kangaroo jack is a much loved film in our house!

@Thoughtsfortheday

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

Princess Bride is my favourite film ever! We've also liked:

Enola Holmes
Spy
Paul

The latter two have some swearing but are excellent

Enola Holmes was excellent. Also Little Women, and the Amazing Adventures of David Copperfield.

Have you seen Jojo Rabbit? Surprise hit here even at younger ages.

Bill

I'd also second Cool Runnings and also Mamma Mia

We've been watching a lot of disaster films lately which we've all enjoyed:

• day after tomorrow
• San Andreas
• deep impact
• Greenland
• 2012
• geostorm
• twister
• gravity

You're going to try to FOLLOW the Princess Bride with another film? Good luck with that! It's perfect.

Twist is great! All our family really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend

Another vote for School of Rock!

What about classics like ET and Ghostbusters? Honey I shrunk the kids, jumanji,

the imitation game, Apollo & hidden figures for something a bit more educational.

Enola Holmes

Real Steel is good, my 11yr old DS loved it (and has Hugh Jackman!)

Shameless placemark to find later.

Great thread OP

Cool Runnings
The Italian Job ( the original one)
Saving Grace (with Brenda Blethyn)
Everest

We LOVED School of Rock!!

Hairspray
Hunt for the wilder people

Lots of good ones here.

We also enjoy Robin Hood men in tights!

The War With Grandad.

The three musketeers- kiefer Sutherland version is a lot of fun
The new star trek film films with Chris Pine
Mask of Zorro - Antonio Banderas version
Enola Holmes is a recent favourite
Robin Hood prince of thieves

We are an action movie family!

Miss Peregrine's school for peculiar children, Jack the Giant Slayer, Lost in Space, though it's a series not a film, Maleficent, agree with all the Jumanji films, even the Robin Williams one, and the Rocky films.

Bridge to Terabithia is very sad by the way. I couldn't watch it twice.

Enola Holmes?

Green book is similar to the ones you've listed.
Have you watched the cultural reference films - things like Back to the future, Forrest Gump.

I'm not a big fan of comic books but most of the marvel and dc films are great. Wonder woman and gardians of the galaxy are great.

I know you said no cartoons but Coco is fantastic. I've watched it loads, even without the kids.

Matilda

The parent trap

Harry Potter

Mean girls

Legally blonde

The breakfast club

Jurassic Park
