Movies To Watch With Family: THE ULTIMATE FAMILY MOVIE LIST

Movies To Watch With Family: THE ULTIMATE FAMILY MOVIE LIST

TV consumption is at an all-time high lately for most families with us all staying at home currently.  So why not compile the greatest list of movies to watch with family?!

What better time to compile a list of awesome family friendly movies from days past and present?

Y’all.  I couldn’t do this list on my own. 

 

Family Movies for Quarantine

 

So, I reached out to my girlfriends who all have 2 or more kiddos. 

Some of these movies are Matt & I’s personal favorites as well! #nostalgia

While we’re stuck at home, we might as well watch some good movies and introduce our Kenny girl to some classics.

I rounded up a ton of different titles that will hopefully give your family ideas for your next movie night. 

Be sure to bookmark this post so you can come back the next time you need some ideas.

If you have a blow up screen and movie projector, these would be fabulous for an outdoor family movie night.

How fun is this list?!

So many of these are fond favorites from my own or Matt’s childhood.

Actually, this list makes me feel so nostalgic. 

Quite a few of these movies have recently been remade.  But if they’re on this list, chances are that I’m referring to the original version and not the remake, like Anne of Green Gables.

Also, every single Shirley Temple movie ever made should be on this list because her movies are just the cutest.  And oh so clean to boot.

They don’t make kid or family centered movies now like they did back in the 80’s and 90’s, that’s for darn sure.

      We tried to watch Onward but Kenny just wasn’t having it.

    Wow so many memories in this list and so many movies I’d forgotten about! I was just thinking about Casper last night… I had Devon Sawa’s poster on my wall! I feel so old haha.

  • Laura Cordis

    Love to see some lesser known greats on there. “Batteries Not Included”, “Harry and the Hendersons”, Fight of the navigator”!! All so great. “The brave little toaster” brings back so many memories from when I was little. Oh, and “The Never-ending Story”, I Loved it so much I dressed as the Child like empress for Halloween one year.
    I also have a special place in my heart for the classic version of “overboard”, I napped on it as an infant when my family was visiting my Uncle who was in the Coast Guard.
    I didn’t see “Star Wars Ewok Adventures” or “Ewok’s Battle for Endor”. Or “Cloak and Dagger” you should check those oldie but goodies out!!

  • Aubrianne
