We're doing a film night for bank holiday monday, DS is mature for his age and a lot of the films these days are, to us, utter rubbish! Grin What are some heartwarming films that I can watch with him?

Depends a bit what your DS likes, we also liked Bringing up Baby with Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant - you probably won't find that at short notice thoughSmile

Also, any chance you could put the plots next to the titles? Just to save me from hours of searching Blush

The Princess Bride is bloody brilliant too

DobbysLeftSock · 06/05/2019 20:42

Watched the princess bride a couple of nights ago. I honestly think it's a perfect film.

Op - Google!

I was just going to go back and write plot synopsis for all my suggested films but then I remembered about Google oh and surely you have some knowledge of most of these films unless you have been living under a rock.

Albatross454 · 06/05/2019 20:50

Dobby, Bunny, Alright, no need to argue Grin I admit that i've been living under a rock, haha. Like I said, I just want a quick synopsis to save me from googling it Wink Not much time to search as it's our film night in just about two hours (I know, i'm a bad mum!)
