Movies to Share with Your Family

Our family is a movie watching family. We regularly watch movies together as a family night activity, all gathered on the couch. We always talk about them when they are over, and sharing the movie watching experience with my kids is one of my favorite family-time activities. I’m that sappy Dad that cries in the opening scene of UP!, and got some dust in my eye watching the final scene of Toy Story 3. I love movies!

One of the fun things Starr and I have done is share the favorite movies of our childhood with our kids. We’ve watched Swiss Family Robinson, a censored-version of the original Karate Kid, and tried unsuccessfully to introduce Star Wars (they like the fight scenes, but can’t get into it.)

So recently CinemaBlend.com listed the 20 Must See Movies to Share with Your Kids. Their list is exhaustive, and includes some great hits from my generation and past, as well as some not-yet-released to DVD movies.

So after looking at their list, what would you add?

Great list of flicks! Only a couple on there that we haven’t shared with the kids yet. Abbott & Costello? Guess we should try it. Totally forgot about Flight of the Navigator! That one’s going on the queue.

  We did Flight of the Navigator a few years ago, it was one of my favorites as a kid. Not sure I could get my kids into Abbott & Costello either….

I would add Annie and Wizard of Oz to the list!!

  You must be joking. Do you know how many flying monkey nightmares I had as a child? I would never force that one on my kids!

    Watch it while listening to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon ;)

  Annie is a fav around here, too. I love Wizard of Oz. The kids like it, but don’t watch it often.
