Great family films are often passed down through generations and not only do the films themselves bring great memories but also the memorable characters. Coming together to watch a film as a family can be a great way to spend time with your loved ones. Prime Video would love to know what your family films are and why?

Here’s what Prime Video have to say: “The smash hit family film Paddington 2 has just been added to Prime Video, joining thousands of great movies and TV shows the whole family can enjoy. Paddington 2 sees the loveable bear settled into life with the Brown Family and starting to do some odd jobs so he can buy Aunt Lucie a birthday present. Before he can get it, the gift is stolen by a master thief and Paddington is the suspect.”

“To celebrate, we want to hear what classics you watch with your kids. Prime Video has many to enjoy including Yogi Bear, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Gruffalo, Casper, The Wizard of Oz, Nanny McPhee, E.T, Beethoven, Tom and Jerry, Pingu, Thomas and Friends, Scooby-Doo, Kung-Fu Panda and Shaun The Sheep.”

What do you enjoy watching with your whole family? Do you go for the classic such as ET and The Wizard of Oz or do you prefer the new films such as Kung Fu Panda? Or maybe your family has a staple film that you all watch on special occasions?

Whatever your favourite films are to watch as a family, share them on the thread below to be entered into a prize draw to win 1 of 3 Amazon Fire Kids Edition Tablets, made just for kids.

Thanks and good luck

1. Mrs Doubtfire

So many:
Animated Pixar and Disney films like Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, all the Shrek and Toy Story movies, The Incredibles, Happy Feet, Monsters Inc, Home Alone, Hook (my fave), The Grinch, Despicable Me and Minions, Mrs Doubtfire. Probably if the kids were helping write this they'd come up with a few dozen more!

We enjoy watching all the Star Wars films as a family as they are full of adventure and excitement

Paddington is a favourite in our house

Trolls, Gremlins, Home Alone, Elf (we do like the christmas ones!) I love the older films like Gremlins because it takes me back to my childhood, and it's great to introduce new generations to some classics

The Labyrinth and ET

Shrek

the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder

Paddington 1 and 2 are a firm favourite of my 6yr old

1. The incredible journey - Always makes me & the kids cry
2. Monsters Inc
3. Tangled
4. Toy Story

There are loads more but these are the ones that get asked for the most :D

Annie :-)

The Wizard of Oz, Labyrinth, and Mary Poppins.

Matilda and Paddington

Home Alone, Annie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

We love watching Despicable Me, Rio and Gnomeo and Juliet.

Shrek

Love the Paddingtons but we could watch any of the Shrek films every week. Also love the old Beetlejuice and Batteries Not Included plus the newer Gnomeo and Juliet and Despicable Mes.

We love all of the Disney classics in our house. We also love all of the Harry Potter movies and could watch Christmas movies all year round. We have even been known to lie up on a Sunday afternoon and binge on 7 Brides for 7 Brothers or my all time favourite Calamity Jane xx

Definitely Toy Story!

Our two year old boy loves the Toy Story films and Frozen!

Finding nemo and moana are great!my little one has watched them loads

My 2 love Minions, Sing, they loved the Peter Rabbit movie too

Right now I have a house full of Harry Potter fans who must watch them all monthly at least and each time we see something new, so it has to be the Harry Potter set for me.

Sing, Moana, Captain Underpants, Paddington and Paddington 2 keep my children engaged.

We love watching disney, but Mary Poppins is number 1!
