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.

Mrs doubtfire, home alone and Mr bean are favourites in my house.My son used to watch Harry potter films so much that he knew all the words.My daughter likes to watch Annie,the railway children,black beauty and secret garden.

We all love the old cartoon version of Robin Hood with the animals. I enjoyed it so much as a child it's probably the only film I could watch with my DC from start to finish.

They are all great movie we can watch more than once as a family and cant wait for the sequels

Modern:
Has to be the My Little Pony Movie or the Equestria girls films. They're amazing and I love them as much as my 5 year old does.
Classic:
Has to be Mary Poppins. Who doesn't love the music, the story, the magic.

And of course Frozen, Moana, lion king.. but they're timeless to me.

Mrs doubtfire and jmanji always go down well here. In fact anything with robin Williams in, he's never made a bad film!

Despicable me
Trolls

As far as I'm concerned no kids film has ever outdone the Goonies.
Labryinth is also rewatchable

as is the Princess Bride.
