We watched Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Finding Dory & The Secret Life of Pets Fun to watch and enjoyed.

We have loved watching Moana, Secret Life of Pets (hilarious) and Storks. The children are really looking forward to Trolls coming on Sky Cinema (in all honesty, I'm really excited as well) and my eldest who is 8 and me are super excited about Rogue One xx

Resume:
Moana, 8 times
Secret life of Pets, 3 and a half times (boredom came visiting)
Monsters, 7 times and three quarters (sleeping time)
Paddington in close competition with Monsters (sleeping time again)
Hope it helps...

Ahhhh Jungle Book! So many happy times snuggling and watching Jungle Book and then the songs stick in your head and you find yourself dancing around the house singing Bare Necessities and feeling happy!

We all watched Finding Dory and enjoyed it much more than we thought we would - we actually preferred it to Finding Nemo. Moana was visually beautiful with some wonderfully catchy songs.

Really looking forward to watching Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them when it becomes available. We are all big Harry Potter fans and are keen to see how good it is!

For us it is Finding Dory, we love the characters, and the colours in the movie are amazing its is a sensory sensation watching anything by Pixar. I love that the story is about friendship, and fun, and being brave. We have watched Finding Nemo so many times I virtually know the script word for word, so to have Finding Dory in our living room would be a wonderful family experience.

We all loved the secret Life of Pets.

This was the first whole movie my little girl has watched as previously her concentration had waned. She really loved it and watched it again a few days later.

I think we will be watching more movies together in the future.

Fantastic beasts! Went to the cinema twice to see it and then at home with partner and eldest one, we love it

All 7 of us (OH +5 kids + me) watched Fantastic beasts and where to find them last week (Rainy Days) and moana we loved both movies and it was actually the first time we all sat down and watched the films all the way to the end that how much we enjoyed them.

We loved watching Rogue One as a family together .

Civil War.

We actually are a house divided over Iron Man and Captain America.

Having a three year old, I think moana has been our favourite. We've just signed up for sky cinema and we've already watched it a million times!!

We loved the secret life of pets and when there are no children around we love a good horror film to scare ourselves

We love Star Wars rogue one, Captain America and Fantastic Beasts. My older ones (age 16 and 15) have also enjoyed Suicide Squad and Deadpool.
We've watched most of them already on Sky but like to rewatch them especially on rainy days or colder evenings.
Looking forward to the next XMen instalments too.

Two of my sons have aspergers and find the sensory issues with the cinema too much. That's why I like sky and the ability to 'rent'. You can get a drink, pop to the loo, have five minutes then start again..... last night was boss baby. I have to say I really enjoyed it and we may try storks later..... we love the generic 'it all comes good in the end' Disney films :)
And as the weather has been shocking it's got us through!

In this family we love the Dispicable Me films...our boys belly laugh at the funny parts and we never get tired of seeing them over and over again. We are looking forward to seeing Dispicable Me 3 next week 😀

Because there's a big age gap between my dcs and because my youngest finds sitting in the dark in a cinema a bit scary/he's a right jiggle-bottom it's much more pleasant to cosy down at home. Just D/L Big Hero 6 from Sky based on the recommendations here for a coming sleepover - thanks MNers!

As a family the classics like labarynth, flight of the navigator, short circuit always go down a treat. Me and dd have started to get into ghibli films. She lives Arietty and totoro. I love them as they are nice and calm compared to manic Disney films and they have strong female leads too

We loved the secret life of pets and it is now a family favouirte. Not seen any of the others but want to watch a couple

We watched Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it! I didn't think a fantasy/mystical based film would be for me, but my family and I really enjoyed it and have since watched it for the second time.

We watched Finding Dory. We all loved it, enjoyed the nostalgia and another instalment of the Finding Nemo saga!

We watched Kong Skull Island as a family and did the full Friday night in film night works, with pizza, fries and ice cream for desert, was a great night

We've been embracing all things Disney and watching some of the classics such as bambi and sleeping beauty. Pinocchio and dumbo next on the list.

I watched " The Secret Life Of Pets" with my 5 year old granddaughter, lovely film.

Any if the marvel films would be good for family viewing. Bit different now as my children are at Uni, but we try to have a family film night at least once a week when they are home
