Hey parents
I want to put together a list of good movies tagged with parenting / raising kids.
I love films that show the real side of being a parent — messy moments, patience, mistakes, bonding, setting boundaries, all the chaos that somehow turns into love
But so many “parenting lists” are full of cliché stuff, perfect families, or just comedy without meaning.
I don’t want to waste time on movies that don’t really reflect the topic.
Here are the ones I’ve already watched and felt were on point:
Mrs. Doubtfire
Boyhood
Wonder
Minari
Big Daddy
Different vibes, but all gave me something to think about as a parent.
I also found a couple of movie-by-tag sites, but not sure if their parenting lists are any good:
https://www.imdb.com/de/list/ls022782376/
https://bestsimilar.com/tag/17732-parenting
What movies would you add?
The ones that actually helped you feel seen as a parent or gave you new perspective on raising kids?
