Family movie Recommendations

[QueenArnica]

Posting for traffic but hoping this will be helpful to others...

Trying to find family movies that appeal to everyone is proving tricky. There’s me, DH, DD (16) and DS (13).

Other than Harry Potter DD doesn’t like fantasy films. DS can’t bear a Rom com (although did like Just Go With It).

We’ve watched and enjoyed in the last couple of weeks:

Castaway
Happy Gilmore
Forrest Gump
Truman Show

Historically we’ve watched and enjoyed movies like Big, Mrs Doubtfire, Cool Runnings, the new Jumanji (not seen the second one)

So please hit me with your recommendations and thanks so much in advance

We have this week enjoyed - Chicken Run.
Jumanji - both.
Jurassic world - both the latest ones but all keen to rewatch any tbh!
Honey I Shrunk The Kids.
Dc are from 18 down to 5..
Popcorn =keen to watch anything ime...

Missed out Edward Scissorhands.

Fighting with My Family
Isle of Dogs

Wayne's world 1 & 2

Bit left field but my kids (when they were a similar age) liked Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources.

I've two teenagers, and we've found common ground watching Ocean's 11 (and the not quite so good sequels!)
Anything with George Clooney is a winner in my book😍

Moonrise Kingdom

Hot Fuzz (maybe inappropriate for 13yo - up to you!)

Indiana Jones

National Treasure

The Da Vinci Code

The Martian (highly recommend)

Chef (such a feel good film)

Jaws

Jaws is definitely a good shout! But only the first one, obviously.

The Meg - Jason Statham
Rampage - The Rock.
Both very popular in our house... For the teens - ahem - of course...

How about Bill (on iplayer just now)

About Shakespeare from the original horrible histories team

Appeals to all ages, including some adult aimed comedy.

How about some Mel Brooks?

The Martian is on Netflix at the moment and it's really good!

Fast and the Furious series
Rocky films
Now You See Me 1&2
Ocean's 11, 12, 13 etc
Bad Boys 1&2 (and I think there's a new one?)

Some of the older ones - Top Gun, The Breakfast Club, Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller etc?

Bruce almighty and Evan almighty?

We ‘be been watching all the Marvel films in their proper order (not release order) .
We’ve really enjoyed it and there’s something for everyone

Eddie Eagle film perhaps?

Frog dreaming - prime

I loved Fighting With My Family.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Willow
The Rocketeer

Is 16 too old for Cheaper By The Dozen? I loved it in my 20s but will admit to watching it partially for Tom Welling.

@Seetheprettysnowdrops - not to mention Ben Willbond as Philip of Spain
