Share your best family friendly films and one lucky MNetter will win a stack of DVDs

[SandyMumsnet]

The lovely people at Twentieth Century Fox have given us a pile of DVDs to giveaway and we thought it was a nice chance to pull together your favourite and best DVDs for the whole family.

We all have snuggly DVD days evenings and with April showers on the horizon, we thought it would be great to hear about your best loved films to share.

What family friendly films do you watch over and over again?

Is there a great film for children that you don't mind watching with them or even better a film that will keep them transfixed when you need five minutes?

Share your suggestions on the thread and we will pick a name out of a hat on Tuesday 10th March for one lucky winner to get a whole bundle of DVDs.

Good luck.

Matilda. My girls were transfixed the first time they saw it!

Has to be Frozen, drives me crazy but DD almost goes in to a trance when it's on!

Toy Story 3
Makes you laugh, cry and cheer whether you're 5 or 50.

Bolt - just lovely and funny and cute. Also Ponyo - much loved by my children for years.

Megamind is ace. Oww! My giant blue head!

Also Totoro, which I am convinced has some special brain changing trickery. We're all calm after and drift round the house singing 'totoro, totoro' on an endless loop.

Despicable Me 1 and 2, every time.

Mr Peabody and Sherman. It's very funny and my (7 year old) son loves it - particularly Agamemnon. This has triggered lots of readings of the children's Greek Myths book we have. So that can't be a bad thing

Tangled. My son really loves it and dances along to the songs. He does like most of the Disney films as do I

All three Toy Storys.

DS also loves the Julia Donaldson Trio that have been made into little films: The Gruffalo, Gruffalo's Child and Room on the Broom.

Nanny McGee was a hit in our house!

We love:

Despicable Me 1 and 2

Toy Story 1, 2 and 3

Monsters Inc

Matilda

Labyrinth (oldie but DD3 is 8 and loves it!)

Ghostbusters

Jumanji

How to Train Your Dragon

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Toy Story Films

Harry Potter (when older) and Stardust

So many!

Frozen and other disneys, the home alones, ghostbusters, sound of music, Harry potter set, fern gully, probably loads more but my mind has gone blank

Snowday
Matilda
Mrs Doubtfire
Cheaper by the dozen
Uncle Buck

Both How to Train Your Dragon films have been loved in our house. We watch the first one on DVD a lot but have not bought the second one yet. Also Despicable Me 1 and 2 makes us all laugh, we are so looking forward to the Minion Movie!

Harry Potter - fabulous music at the start really sets the mood.

Shrek films are enjoyed by all ages here I think Pixar & dreamworks films are a safe bet for a wide range of ages

How to Train Your Dragon (Leaving the second one until dc are a little older.)
Aladdin
Ratatouille
Wallace and Gromit:Curse of the Were-Rabbit (Cannot wait until Shawn the Sheep is out on DVD - went down really well when we went to the cinema and saw it.)
Ice Age:The Meltdown
Shrek
(The reason for the volume is that we have had quite a few illness this year.)

DD is now 7 and it has been lovely seeing how her tastes change in the films that she watches. A few years ago, it was Toy Story 1 2 and 3, on a loop, then it was Tangled, then of course Frozen....

she loves anything Disney and cartoons and loves the older films such as Sleeping Beauty, The Aristocats, 101 Dalmations, .

She also loves Babe, Marley & Me, Despicable Me 1 and 2 and anything with Wallace & Gromit in.

Now she is getting older I hope to be able to start getting her into Harry Potter and other things.

Mousehunt is a firm favourite here. We're all looking forward to seeing Paddington again too.

Jurassic park DD has just turned 4 but has been obsessed since she was 2!

It has got to be Elf - and not just at Christmas. We also love Shrek and Fantasia

Little mermaid
Beauty and the beast
Aladdin
All shreks
All toy stories
Monsters inc/U

All family friendly great watches!
