Family movie

[MavisTheMonkey]

Please help me find a movie to watch tonight with the family!!

• DS 12 likes action / dystopian movies; faves include Avengers, Star Wars
• DD 9 likes teen / romcom movies and likes one of the leads to be a female character; faves include Mean Girls, Pitch Perfect
• We prefer non-animated as we have seen most of the classic / good animated ones
• Something that DH and I can enjoy as well
• Age rating; happy with 12 and possibly a 15 as long as not too graphic or too much swearing

Things we have watched recently and have all enjoyed:
Enola Holmes
Jumanji (old and new)
Hunger Games
Dungeons and Dragons
Harry Potter movies
Honey I shrunk the kids
Spider-Man trilogy (DD lines Zendaya)

Thanks!

The Goonies

School of Rock.

The Great Lebowski.

Thanks both
@SingingSands weirdly they didn't like the Goonies

@CurlewKate have seen School of Rock, they quite liked it but not a massive hit. Think the Big Lebowski might be too eccentric for them

The 2008 journey to the centre of the earth
Pixels
Jurassic Park
Mortal engines
Love and monsters
Ready player one

Descendants on Disney+

The Maze Runner is good

Wonder, not sure where you'd find it. I really love this film and recommend it whenever I can.

Overboard - the original Goldie Hawn one.

Fifty first dates

The Dark Crystal
Labyrinth

Holes

Similar anges and we’ve enjoyed most of the ones on your list, but a slightly different one that turned out to be quite the hit was Apollo 13.

The fact it was based on a true story made it much more compelling and managed to keep them interested.

Edit: no great female characters though. Good reminder of how times have (hopefully) changed…

Oh just remembered The Princess Bride!

Another one we've loved watching as a family - Pirates of the Caribbean

Thanks all, lots on here that we've watched together - Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic park, ready player one and descendants.

Apollo one is one I've suggested before but DD says no; princess brides and fifty first dates I've also suggested and DS says no 🙈😂

Labyrinth and Overboard are too old / dated looking so they both have said no to them previously.

Am going to look at the others suggested now!

Seconding Maze Runner
Yes Day (though they will nag you for one!)
Karate Kid
Ferris Bueller's Day Out
Guardians of the Galaxy

Twilight
Cruella
The Trueman Show
Bruce Almighty
Flight of the Navigator
Forest Gump
Shallow Hal
Binge watch the A Series of Unfortunate Events series
Back to the Future - then go and see the musical
The Indiana Jones films
The Star Wars Films
Superman
ET

Barbie.

Mine (11,13) enjoy Free Guy

It's an animation, but one we all enjoyed when my DC were that age was The Mitchell's vs the Machines.

Or the new Ghostbusters films? I've only seen the first one but everyone enjoyed it.

Kangaroo Jack

Wedding singer

Thanks so much everyone for all the suggestions, a lot we have seen (ghostbuster, back to the future, forest gump, Indiana jones, unfortunate events) but lots to consider as well.

So far I'm keen on:
Love and Monsters
Wonder
Twilight
Free guy

I'm also keen on the maze runner, however DS has read the books and says he doesn't want to watch it as it's too graphic / violent. I see it's a 15 rated so think it might be a bit much. Although the hunger games was also 15 rated and they both really liked that...

Hunger games had worse violence than the Maze Runner films as far as I recall

Whether you’re into animated films, family-friendly adventures, or classic comedies, you’ll find something everyone will enjoy. For a fun family movie night, I’d recommend checking out some great picks on zfilmeonline.net . They’ve got a ton of options that are perfect for all ages. I recently found some gems there that were a hit with my family. It’s always nice to have a variety of movies to choose from so you can keep everyone entertained. Give it a shot, and I hope you find a movie that makes your family night unique!

Wild Child would be good for your dd, but your ds might not be quite so keen.😂
