What are the movies you enjoy watching with the kids?

[HQPlanning]

Now it's snuggle up on the sofa with a movie season (officially, though we're always doing this year round), I need some ideas for what movies you're actually happy to watch with the kids - share yours please (if any!!)

I'll start....

Megamind and Inside Out for the clever quotables.

I'll watch any Disney movie with them from my childhood (I DONT mean the remakes though).

And of course, I'm up for a Harry Potter marathon even when they get distracted and lose interest.

Night in the museum(all of them)
Jurassic park (all of them)
Spy next door

My 2yo LOVES Matilda. I don't know why but it's the only thing she'll sit and watch intently. I actually think it's a bit dark but didn't realise that until we started watching it the first time!

Jumanji films

Labrynth

Hocus Pocus

Matilda

Back to the future

Chronicles of Narnia

The Harry Potters and Jurassic Parks now and from when they were little.
The James Bonds now they are senior school age.

depends on their ages, innit?
I happily watch most things with the younger ones but there's nothing like watching Die Hard every Christmas Eve with the older ones!

Coraline
Nightmare before Christmas
The hotel Transylvanias
Bedknobs and broomsticks

I'd like to say ET but it traumatised the 8 year old!

Paddington with my 3 yo! She can't get enough and makes us chuckle too..

Arthur Christmas is the one we watch the night the decorations go up.

Also I'm a massive Pixar fan, but can't watch Up!

For the teens, the Taken trilogy.

I only have very little children (aged 4, 21 months and 3 weeks) so although we've watched a lot already mentioned here theres quite a few I'm looking forward to seeing with them when they're bigger kids!

We watched The Mitchells vs the Machines on Netflix a few months ago and really enjoyed that, it's a quirky funny one with some sweet bits in it.
DH liked it so much he watched it again with DD1 recently and teared up a few times.

20 odd years ago DD lived Matilda and Madeline. Seen both so many times

Big Hero 6
Star Wars (episodes 4-6)
Harry Potter series
