Posting for traffic as we have a household full of Covid and in dire need of distraction. What has been the best movie you and your 10+ children have enjoyed recently?

Encanto is beautiful. Uncle Buck, hilarious.

Ron’s Gone Wrong - Disney
Bill - IPlayer
Call of the Wild
Mitchell’s vs The Machines - Netflix

SciFiStirFry · 01/01/2022 16:48

Enders Game. Great story, great actors ⭐️

Echobelly · 01/01/2022 16:48

Second Mitchells vs the Machines - essential viewing for anyone with teens and tweens!
Bill is also good for that ages group, and Encanto.

My DS was absolutely transfixed by Annie yesterday (the original)

Ditto Labrynth and Goonies - all pretty old school though...

Recent favourites in our house are the Sonic movie and Into the Spiderverse. I also make my kids watch all the 80s/90s classics-Overboard went down well recently, Indiana Jones films, The Goonies, Flash Gordon, Flight of the Navigator etc

Third it. Watched it myself and loved it

Ukholidaysaregreat · 01/01/2022 17:03

I watched Elf this Christmas and found it really funny! Liked Gremilns too. Super hero stuff like Marvel?

SocksAndTheCity · 01/01/2022 17:03

Ron's Gone Wrong and Cruella (both Disney)

Needcoffeecoffeecoffee · 01/01/2022 17:03

Will add to the Mitchell and the machines love
We all enjoyed Ron's gone wrong
Indiana jones, goonies, gremlins and Ghostbusters

Talipesmum · 01/01/2022 17:05

Shang Chi and the legend of the ten rings was v good (Disney plus). And we’re planning to watch Jungle Cruise shortly. Second the other suggestions incl Ron’s gone wrong, and Mitchells vs the machines.

ChirpyChirp · 01/01/2022 17:05

Another vote for Ron's Gone Wrong, The Mitchells Vs The Machines and Encanto. All brilliant.

LadyLooLaa · 01/01/2022 17:07

I’ve just introduced my two to Indiana Jones. They loved them (as do I! Win!!)

Moolia · 01/01/2022 17:08

Mine loved Legally Blonde and Notting Hill recently.

londonrach · 01/01/2022 17:10

My daughter aged 5 not into films but a dog's journey was on over Xmas.... she loved it as did we!

rrhuth · 01/01/2022 17:10

Think it is a twelve but 'what we did on our holiday' is good (warning: death theme)

Edinvillian · 01/01/2022 17:11

Red Notice is fab. It's a 12 but I watched it with my 9 year old and it was fine.

flashy44 · 01/01/2022 17:18

Ferdinand today

Flobbertybillop · 01/01/2022 17:19

Free guy
Red notice
Cruella

Needhelp101 · 01/01/2022 17:21

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a perfect family film and so funny.
Legally Blonde, because it's a funny, rompy feminist classic!

OnTheBenchOfDoom · 01/01/2022 17:21

Best to tell us where you can watch films, so do you have Prime or Disney+? I think most people have Netflix.

If you do have Disney+ then Free Guy is awesome, also Encanto. Red Notice if Netflix.

ReginaaPhalange · 01/01/2022 17:22

Ghostbusters (the original) and ET went down a hit with DSD. As did sonic movie too! Jim Carey is great in his role (as always)!

SaffyWall · 01/01/2022 17:22

Into the Spiderverse
Free Guy
Crocodile Dundee
Cool Runnings
Big

ReginaaPhalange · 01/01/2022 17:22

Also Coco - such an under rated movie! It's brilliant! In fact - I'm gunna watch that tonight! I love the soundtrack

StrangerThanSpring · 01/01/2022 17:23

We watched Cruella today and it was very good.
