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.

Looooving these suggestions. That's our house booked up until Feb!

One last question then....

If we started a Mumsnet movie score (title is WIP, hold caller please....) in the style of IMDB / Rotten Tomatoes but based on DCs score + your score out of 10....rather than have 'stars' or 'ticks' to represent the score, what symbol should we use instead?

It could be one symbol or in the style of rotten tomatoes it could be more then one to represent good (fresh tomatoes) or bad (rotten tomatoes).

The Goonies
Free Willy
The Santa Clause 1, 2, 3
Little Mermaid any Disney really
Gremlins

DC are all grown but still watch them together

Mine love spooky things so we've been enjoying nightmare before Christmas, frankenweenie, Addams family (90's Angelica Huston one and the cartoon remakes)

Twins
Coming to America
Kindergarten Cop
Home Alone 1 and 2
Muppet Christmas Carol
Frozen
Santa Claus 1

Don't think these have been mentioned, super popular in our house:

A Little Princess
The Greatest Showman
Spider-Man 1&2 (Tobey Maguire ones)
Homeward Bound
Sky High

Goosebumps and Goosebumps 2 are big hits in our house around Halloween time.

My DCs also love all the Home Alone movies (even the really rubbish 3, 4 & 5 ones!) and we also love all the Karate Kids.

I love watching Training my Dragon with my dgd

Finding nemo
The snowman
Barbie in the dream house (not exactly a movie but I love it)

Bee movie

Chicken Run. Love it.

The Polar Express early on Christmas morning. My daughter is 27 .

Moana was the surprise lockdown hit with us (even Dh liked it, and the dcs are 15 and 12 year old boys!)
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Greatest Showman
Bohemian Rhapsody
We watched loads of classic Pixar on Disney + in lockdown as well - Monsters Inc, Toy Story etc.

So many good ones here! I love back to the future and Harry Potter. We really enjoyed the new Jumanji movies (and the original of course!). Marvel movies and most recently Free Guy.

Yes to greatest showman too!

Recently watched 'UP' which is an animation and was really good - made me cry though. Found it in a charity shop

Also we watched 'Soul' which I really enjoyed - really big themes, not sure kids liked it so much though!

Faves are Spies in Disguise and all the Sean the Sheep.

Paddington 2 - one of my favourite films and I am 49!
Tangled
Zootropolis (probably wrong spelling, sorry)

Oh yes, both the Paddington movies are great!

My dd 5 loves
Return to Oz
Matilda
Home Alone
Despicable Me
Frozen
I can happily sit and watch all of them

Matilda
Frozen
Annie
The Wizard of Oz
Mary Poppins
Paddington
A little Princess

We have film and pizza night every Friday, and all take turns to pick a film. And mainly old school - so dvd mainly. Our ds are 7 & 9. We've been introducing some old ones from my youth.honey I shrunk the kids and honey I shrunk the baby were surprise hits, Ghostbusters 1 & 2, cool running, Harry Potter, star wars films, original superman. Maybe pirates of Caribbean next, and hoping to move onto some MCU soon. They also quite liked the Eddie the Eagle film (the Bo Derek references went over their heads). But got scared by the crooks in the goonies, and wouldn't watch the Princess bride!

Loads of the ones already mentioned, plus;

Cool Runnings
