To ask your recommendations for tween and adult friendly films?

[Brindisa]

We need a film that will satisfy ages 12 to 80! Any recommendations? We’ve enjoyed as a family - karate kid, chicken run, Wallace and gromit etc.
we have also watched all the Lord of the rings films (I won’t say we all enjoyed them …!)

There are no Harry Potter fans in the family. We found Back to the Future and Ferris Bueller were a bit too slow for the younger ones. Jumanji is terrifying. Everyone under 18 is male and they’re not into wicked, princess diaries, or anything romantic. I’m stumped!

any recommendations for what we can stream on New Year’s Day?

Gremlins. Something for everyone. Has a Christmassy vibe too.

The Water Horse
Spiderwick Chronicles
Godzilla
Pirates of the Carribean

Batteries Not Included

Indiana Jones? Home Alone? ET?

The Incredibles

Tom Hanks’ 90s films - Cast Away, Apollo 13, maybe Forrest Gump depending on maturity levels.

Night at the museum?

Men in Black

The Venom films, Hunger Games

Amazing suggestions! Thank you!

All the Ghostbusters films, Gremlins, Home Alone, Mean Girls, Napoleon Dynamite, Beetlejuice, Close Encounters, ET, Labyrinth, Never Ending Story etc

Eddie Murphy films for fun family friendly viewing.

Holes! Such a good (underrated) movie.

Bad Santa?

Mrs doubtfire

Meet the fockers

School of Rock

Johnny English 1,2 and 3

The Martian. In a funny sort of way it's underrated imo despite being a solid hit.

Wall-e?

Whiskey galore was on bbc2 today so will be on iPlayer, was really good. Hidden figures was on a different channel, also excellent

Indiana Jones
The princess bride - might be the greatest film of all time!
Stardust - similar ilk to Princess Bride but more recent

National treasure movies are good.

Top Gun Maverick, amazing and multigenerational.

Uncle Buck
A Knights Tale

Next goal wins

a series rather than film but Skeleton Crew on Disney+ has been a hit for us this xmas - Star Wars meets The Goonies!
