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.

The Ice age collection there fantastic family movies

nobutreally · 06/03/2015 13:12

Studio Ghibli's are big favourites in our house - esp Ponyo, My neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away - they really seem to talk about such big emotional ideas that the children go back to them for years & still get lots out of them. We've probably been watching them for 5 years or so now, and ever I'm not bored of them

Otherwise - Despicable Me and How to Train Your Dragon - again, both stand up to multiple re-watching!

We've loved Big Hero 6 & Paddington at the cinema recently, so looking forwards to adding those to our collection too.

Cars (if I've watched that once, I've watched it 500 times with no exaggeration)

Spy Kids
Toy Story (Some of my favourite films so don't mind)
Despicable Me 1 and 2
Marmaduke

RedKites · 06/03/2015 13:38

The Lego movie works pretty well for all our family.

keshimonster · 06/03/2015 13:38

becky004 · 06/03/2015 13:52

Annie and The Wizard Of Oz are the two most watched films here :-)

happysouls · 06/03/2015 13:53

The Borrowers, film with John Goodman. It was really great to watch although I didn't have my son's capacity to watch it over again the very moment it finished. Must have snuggled and watched it so many times. It was such a relief that the Sooty phase had passed hahaha!

RACHELSMITH45 · 06/03/2015 13:54

We all absolutely love home alone 1 and 2 and watch them every Christmas! We love anything Disney too such as the tigger movie!

andywedge · 06/03/2015 13:59

Willow; might be a few years old but it's fantastic

Signoritawhocansway · 06/03/2015 14:04

We love ET and tThe Railway Children here. They were coincidentally the only films I watched as a child :-)

Moggy12 · 06/03/2015 14:05

My favourite family movies are Up, Maleficent, Elf, A little princess

basketofshells · 06/03/2015 14:07

We love Up, and How To Train Your Dragon. If we're feeling a bit retro, the BFG animation is magical.

chrisrobin · 06/03/2015 14:12

Cars was a huge favourite in our house when the DC were younger. Each Christmas we watch The Sound of Music together, they moan a little when I tell them it's on but enjoy it once we are all snuggled up.

maisiesnan · 06/03/2015 14:27

Mrs Doubtfire is the all round family favourite but Frozen is my granddaughters favourite

Samlan · 06/03/2015 14:44
