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 and Frozen here. Setting down to watch Matilda again now. Think in a few years Star Wars and Paddington will be added to the list.

Recent ones that we've seen at the cinema which I loved as much as dd have been Paddington and How To Train Your Dragon 2.

Have also enjoyed Despicable Me.

Dds 13yo so we also get to watch cool teen type films like Hungar Games together.

Any of the Ice Age movies. Smile

Finding Nemo. Mine are little, DD likes Frozen but DS doesn't, DS likes Cars but DD doesn't. But Finding Nemo keeps them both happy, and me and DH too, so we can all cuddle up together!

GwenaelleLaGourmande · 07/03/2015 20:26

Atm Frozen, Peter Pan (Jason Isaacs version) and Hook. And the Madagascar films are popular with all of us too.

My son loves Thomas and Fireman Sam so he will watch any of their movies at any time, but together we do like to sit down and watch Aristocats, which I got him for christmas its a lovely film and is our favourite at the moment. Our other favourites to watch together are Beauty and the Beast, Monsters Inc and Monsters University
