Wet weather family film ideas

[1CantPickAName]

We are off to Devon on Sunday and the weather looks pants. It’s lovely there, lots great eating out places and good weather activities, not so much in bad weather (pool and cinema). The cottage has no WiFi so it’s great to have no iPads with us. There’s board games and colouring etc.

AIBU to look forward to reading a few books and line up lots of dvds for the kids?

Any dvd recommendations for family film night?

toy story (1, 2 and 3)
school of rock

How to train your dragon
Howls moving castle
Spirited Away
The emperors new groove
The land before time

Thank you, anything that the adults might enjoy too?

The Horrible Histories movie is currently in cinemas.

Jurassic Park
Groundhog Day
Monsters Inc
Hotel Transylvania
Mrs Doubtfire

We (adults) love:

Boxtrolls
Back to the future
The Lego movie
Daddy Day Care

What age are the dc?

My 6 and 8yo have recently enjoyed:
Labyrinth (the 80s one with David Bowie)
Strange Magic
Boss Baby
The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl
Descendants 1 and 2

Also My Neighbour Totoro!

Swallows and Amazons
The Railway Children
Ballet Shoes
Fawlty Towers
Blackadder
Dads Army

Chicken Run

I love Sing. probably more than my DS does

Muppets Treasure Island. Loved that film as a kid.

Jumanji

Night at the Museum

We, as a family (DS 7 & DD 2 and adults included) have really enjoyed
Emperor's new groove
Hotel Transylvania (1,2 & 3)
Trolls
Lego movie 1& 2

Maleficent was good. DH & I watched it, children haven't.

Depending on the age of your children
Jurassic park
Ghostbusters (original, not remake)
Back to the future
Goonies

Billy Elliot

Also, Sing
Storks
Secret life of pets

When Marnie was There (bit of a weep-fest though...)

Cool Runnings
Madagascar
Toy Story
Home Alone
Aristocrats
Disney Cars

A lot of the old 90s movies - Home Alone, the Batman ones, Evan Almighty, some of the more appropriate Bond ones and Indiana Jones!

The Princess bride
Muppet Treasure Island
The Goonies
Pirates of the Caribbean (1st one)

Dolphin tale hands down!

The Jumanji remake with Dwayne Johnson was quite good fun. The Indiana Jones films are enjoyable for all, Pixar films usually have enough "hidden" comedy to keep adults amused... Then there's Star Wars / Star Trek / super hero films (DC / MCU) depending on how old the kids are.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Annie
Wizard of Oz
Mary Poppins
Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

As you can see, we are a family who like musicals...

Monsters Inc.

Ella enchanted

Shrek trilogy

High school musical

Toy story

Into the woods

Chalie and the chocolate factory

Narnia
