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?

Paddington and Paddington 2

ilovespinach · 01/01/2022 18:43

Remake of Mulan on Disney was good plus all of the Avengers films, Spiderman, Ant Man and Guardians of the Galaxy etc
I share The Mitchells love. Mallcop was also enjoyed.

We've also enjoyed the Jumanji remakes I think they were on Disney (could be Netflix though) and The Jungle Cruise....

Rewatched Galaxy Quest recently. It’s great.

Boogaloony · 01/01/2022 18:43

Ron's Gone Wrong was absurdly Amazing. We all loved it and me and my sister have even got the Dicky Dacker song as our ring tone 😁

Not recently, but if you haven't seen it Zookeeper is amazing.

Cahu58 · 01/01/2022 22:36

The blind side! Watched last night as we are isolating, not seen it before, omg tears but ultimately so uplifting and a modern true story.

Snaketime · 01/01/2022 22:47

Ron's gone wrong and the Mitchells vs The Machines.

TheTurn0fTheScrew · 01/01/2022 22:49

Men in Black

gogohm · 01/01/2022 22:53

Horrible histories movie, it's on iPlayer

gogohm · 01/01/2022 22:55

I would also suggest classic 80's films like ghostbusters, back to the future etc or even 50's horror movies (they are funny these days not scary!) mine loved them.

gogohm · 01/01/2022 22:59

Some of the marvel films are age appropriate (not all) too. Think mine were about that age when pitch perfect came out, they loved that

When we were quarantined we worked through the ' 80s classics' having exhausted all the Netflix stuff.
If you get a Disney subscription (can do a month and cancel) there's so much on there. We also stream.

Most popular was;

Holes.. this really is good...

Gremlins
Little shop of horrors
Adventures in Babysitting (original and new)
Ghostbusters (the new one Afterlife is also excellent if you can stream it).
My DD who is young teen loved Sliding Doors. We've also done a few John Hughes movies including Some kind of Wonderful and Breakfast club (note they are 15s).
Matrix too (classifications different 20/30 years ago. More sex in PGs and less violence in the 15s more on par with 12A as that didn't exist).
Star wars from the start

We also went back to the reboot of Doctor Who and watched a lot of that back to back as DC not around when it came out (Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant era). All on iplayer.

Beebababadabo · 01/01/2022 23:14

'Back to the outback' was quite good

Needhelp101 · 01/01/2022 23:17

Paddington 2 is an absolute masterpiece. I defy anyone not to cry at the end (happy tears!).

Icannever · 01/01/2022 23:17

Back to the future
Both of the newer jumajis
Blind side
Karate kid
Goonies
Shang chi and the ten rings
Jungle cruise (it’s good in a kind of awful way)
Iron man
Ant man
Wonder
