I am going to subject my children to Ghostbusters what else do they need to watch ?

[Howlongtillbedtime]

I am ordering some dvds that I enjoyed when younger and I am using my children as an excuse to watch them again .

So far I have got

Ghostbusters
Stand by me
The Goonies

I know there are many more but I can't think.

Boys are 9 and 11 if that helps .

Thank you

Damn they are too young

Fright night
Licence to drive
Lucas
Lost Boys

Corey Haim fan obviously

I watched nightmare on elm street in primary school and aliens and poltergeist but so did most of my friend's. I think in them day's there wasn't much on tv so your dm used to wack an 18 on

i tell you what scared me for life though, Jaws

Night of the Comet.
Indiana Jones
Encino Man
George of the Jungle (who doesn't like Brendan Fraiser)
Bio Dome
Son in Law (I used to find Paulie Shaw very funny)

Drop Dead Fred is good fun :) A big hit in this house.

Loved Stand By Me {{Loved River Phoenix}}

Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
Star Wars
Back to the Future
Apollo 13

My ds is older 14 but recently we've watched Top Gun and the blues brothers he enjoyed Top gun but didn't enjoy Blues bros. he refused to watch dirty dancing though

Oh Oh Oh!

Flight of the Navigator
Explorers
Space Camp
The Boy Who could Fly

all great 80s films

Drop dead Fred is a must I love it.

Flight of the navigator
Howard the duck
Harry and the hendersons (Bigfoot)

Are we all children of the 80s by any chance?

I'm a child of the 80s and never seen most of these! I remember seeing Jaws at primary school film club (equivalent of year 7) and being terrified, in a good way though.

How has no one suggested Cool Runnings?!

Second, third (?) Mighty Ducks

Also loved Uncle Buck and Sister Act

Bill and Ted 1 and 2!

In addition to other suggestions, DS likes The Terminator series.

I tried the Matrix the other day, and it was ok, but we haven't seen the end yet.

Teenwolf

Any of the Night At The Museum films - and my favourite even as an adult - No Batteries Required.

Classic films are good too: If they like animals then Born Free is a great film and for a bit of action and history, The Great Escape (relevant at the moment too)

Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Time bandits

Both PG I think. Oh and both Terry Gilliam films!

Labyrinth. If only for David Bowie in those tights.

Good luck op
My experience of younger kids and old films is that theirs slow and dated

You have GOT to get a copy of The Labyrinth, my 8 yo dd watched it with me and loved it so much she stole my copy!!

It may have already been mentioned but 'Flight of the Navigator' was a childhood favourite of mine.

We are in a similar zone, having regular 'family film nights' with DCs (10, 8 and 5) since the start of this year.

Our lot loved The Mask, Night at the Museum and Jumanji. Free Willy went down well too, and Home Alone. Favourite so far, though: Daddy Day Care!

Ours loved 'Daddy Day Care', ArtfulPuss, and DD loves 'Baby's Day Out'.

DS 11 has enjoyed The Matrix but we felt DD 8 is still too young.

How about 'Tron' and 'Tron Legacy', they're favourites of our DS.
