good DVD for mixed family viewing ....

[lilolilmanchester]

We like to watch a family DVD over Christmas but need to please everyone ( i.e. pre-teen,teenager, plus 70+ grandparents + me and DH...... )
Chick flicks out; old B&W out. Successful DVDs have included the Incredibles; Madagascar and Wallace & Grommit Werewolf. Any suggestions for this year please? Nothing too heavy and must suit 12 - 76 year olds plus difficult to please DH inbetween!!!

Toy Story?

Scooby-Doo?
Does it have to be new this year?

Up! It's so lovely, I just adore it.

My Neighbour Totoro is lovely for all I think.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Mary Poppins
Enchanted
The Princess Bride
School of Rock

Depending on the grandparents, possibly Life of Brian or Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Blazing Saddles

I was going to say Princess Bride too.

Bolt
West Side Story (in fact most musicals)

The Muppet Christmas Carol

The Emperor's New Groove is very funny and a good family favourite here.

Groundhog Day is my favourite Christmas film.

Freaky Friday maybe?

Starddust

Madagascar 2

I'd second the Princess Bride and Muppet Christmas Carol

Home alone, Mary poppins, School of Rock, Shrek, Wizard of OZ

It may be a bit old now but National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is hilarious.

Ghostbusters or Jurrasic Park

Polar Express its Christmas in a box

santa buddies

Up
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Spirited Away
WALL-E
Juno (12)

The Santa Clause - 1,2,or 3 - we love them all

RV - (Robin Williams cancels family exp vacation and instead takes them in an RV across the US to get to a secret board meeting - hilarious, lovely feel-good ending)

Night at the Museum 1 or 2 - thats what we'll be watching

thanks all. Has to be a film we'd all like and too complicated to write the criteria down. "Up" most likely out of suggested so far, other suggestions great just not right for the difficult lovely people I am entertaining. Please keep ideas coming

Bad Santa, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and Love Actually are some of my Christmas faves. But the best one EVER is....ELF! Hilarious and heart-warming at the same time.

Monsters Inc

Elf - or is this gross ? Makes me laugh and laugh
The Grinch - really sweet and funny ?

Monsters Inc is EXACTLY the sort of film we're looking for - except we've all seen that several times and looking for something new. Bought National Lampoons Xmas vacation, my nephews were shocked by the bad language, which means my Mum would hate it too.

National Lampoons is a little crude at times, I agree. But Elf is FAB.
