Nostalgiac family films

[Matbest]

DD5 has just reached the age where she can enjoy films I liked when I was younger and still enjoy now. Last weekend we watched Wizard of Oz and Return to Oz. Over Christmas we enjoyed Home Alone. Does anyone have any suggestions of films of this ilk we could watch together?

Considering Labyrinth and Drop Dead Fred (possibly too old for her). Can anyone think of any others? Thanks!

Mine love...
Annie
Homeward Bound (1&2)
Any disney or pixar.
Beethoven
Mary Poppins
Chatty chatty bang bang

Bit unsure about Free Willy.

Other ones we have enjoyed together: Matilda, The Witches, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Johnny Depp), Home Alone

Bedknos & Broomsticks

List so far -

Willow
Labyrinth
The Borrowers
Drop Dead Fred
The Never-ending Story
The Water Babies
Harry Potter (1)
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
The Goonies
The Dark Crystal
Jurassic Park

Annie
Beehoven
Mary Poppins
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

You must have a brace 5 yo... I can't even watch The Witches 🤣

Brave even 🤦‍♀️

Toy Story series. Great for all ages.

Return to Oz is bloody terrifying!

Isn't Bedknobs and Broomsticks racist or something? Admittedly I haven't read or watched it since I was a child. And speaking of racist we watched the Walt Disney Peter Pan open mouthed at the portrayal of native Americans so avoid that.

I know, she is very brave! I still felt a bit freaked put by the Wheelers in Return to Oz - so creepy.

We've done:
Honey I Shrunk the Kids
Innerspace
Flight of the Navigator
Busy Malone

*out

*Bugsy

On the problematic children's film front - I used to love One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing, but the portrayal of Chinese people is truly shocking.

The secret garden

Drop Dead Fred is brilliant, but it's rated 15!

I don't think Bedknobs and Broomsticks is racist. Are you thinking of Song of the South?

Flight of the navigator
Labyrinth
Mary Poppins
Dark crystal
ET

Apparently some people think the Portobello Road sequence shows various ethnic minority groups dancing in stereotypical ways. It's been a long time since I last saw it but I loved it as a child.

Is it??? Better leave that one then! I remember it being a kids film...

All the Disneys. My favourite is 101 Dalmations. My children watched The Rescuers approx 100 times.
