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.

Funnily my kids really love old sci fi films.

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers
The Day The Earth Stood Still
The Thing

They all so love old comedies

Abott and Costello
Laurel and Hardy

Then they love your typical kids films at the moment they're favourites are

Wreck It Ralph
Night At The Museum
Toy Story 1,2 and 3
Despicable Me 1 and 2
The Tinkerbell Movies (all of them)
The Fox and The Hound
Turbo
Planes 2

I love curling up on the sofa by the fire having sleepy weekends watching movies. I also love watching my kids faces as they watch, they're expressions are priceless. Nothing beats putting a film on, even better a one they've seen a thousand times and know off by heart because the way they react and the way they light up during certain moments. It's just brilliant.

Frozen, Cars/Planes franchise, any of the Toy Story franchise, Madagascar, they are all movies we watch over and over and I don't mind at all!

Oh pass the popcorn.
Up, despicable me, Madagascar, all the shreks and frozen, are our recent favourites.
A special mention too for chitty, chitty, bang, bang and Mary Poppins. DS used to re enact "up on the rooftops" along the back of the sofa's and other furniture.

Harry Potter - the first one had me entranced.
Classic Disney
Despicable Me
100 Days of summer

Even as they are getting older the DDs still have favourites from their younger days- Monster's Inc and Monsters University, the High School Musical Trilogy (not me so much), The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast and Despicable Me.

More recent favourites as they hit their teens are Blended, Twilight (etc.) and Elf, any time of year.

Where to start?! We love;
Despicable me 1 and 2
Roger Rabbit
Star Wars
The Muppets

Normally accompanied by a snuggle blanket and a big bowl of popcorn.

Frozen
despicable me 1 and 2
the nightmare before Christmas (ds1 absolute fav)
stardust
all the harry potter's watched repeatedly over and over and over ad infinitum..
they love anything that's a little bit "rude", add a fart joke or two in a film it becomes their new fav so the shrek films are always winners too.

The Hobbit and LOTR films.
Jack the giant slayer.

Fantastic Mr Fox
Up
Despicable me 1 and 2
The 1st 3 ice ages

I'll go for the ones I don't mind watching too - for this I went digging back through my own childhood/adolescence for the classics and together we've watched and my son has loved things like:
-the labyrinth
-the flight of the navigator
-the neverending story
etc

He also loves the old indiana jones type films that we used to watch as 'family' films when i was a child.

All the Night at the Museum films.

Very funny, educational & we all love them

DS is just getting to the stage where he can sit for a whole film. He loves Cars and Cars 2. DH also introduced him to the Lego Movie which transfixed him!

I have a v sensitive 3 year old but I think Mary Poppins could work well for her. She is obsessed by the Frozen songs and clips she's seen.

How to train your dragon 1 & 2
Any scooby doo or Mickey mouse

Johnny English, Home alone, diary of a wimpy kid

We love Ice Age, Shrek, Rio and Nanny McPhee.

They also loved Paddington when we saw it at the cinema so I reckon it will be a new favourite.

We love
Shrek
Toy Story
Finding Nemo
Home Alone
Labyrinth
Night at the Museum

We watched City of Ember recently and really enjoyed it.

The favourites are : Despicable Me 1 and 2, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: all 3 and the Ice Age series.

There are loads more but these were ones that each one of us enjoyed and watched repeatedly.

The Wizard of Oz was a big favourite also Finding Nemo, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mary Poppins, Aladdin and of course the latest favourite Frozen
