Recommend me a Family Movie..........
 

on the 12th of January I'm hiring a minibus and taking my family, sister, brother, their kids, and parents for a day out to various attractions. At the end of the long day I'd like to all sit around my parents new big screen and have us all watch a movie together

It'd need to be fairly engrossing from the beginning because 12 people ranging from 8yo to 74yo won't stand for much before they start to yawn and meander away.

Any takers?

Ice Age 1, March of the Penguins.

Happy Feet! Looks great on a larger screen. Great for kids and pretty funny for most others although the upper end of the scale may not quite appreciate it as much.

Appropriate for all ages.

Swiss Family Robinson

Aquila and the Bee


Excellent movie. Check it out.

+1 :yes:

I will second that. :thmbsp:

spencers mountain is a great family film.
night of the grizzly-scenery is beautiful
we are screening in my movie room-"it happened on 5th avenue"and when the kids are asleep, we are watching "more dead than alive" western with clint walker and vincent price.

How about E.T. or Cocoon.

I watched Bridge To Terabithia with my 18 year old daughter and wife and had a tear in my eye near the end. Made by Disney it has great special effects and an excellent story.

I just loved Hairspray(The new remake).Funny,great music,just a happy movie.

I second, third, and fourth ‘Spencer’s Mountain’. Not quite as good as the book but real good.

Any Disney movie with Maurice Chevalia.; ‘IN SEARCH OF THE CASTAWAYS’ being the best.

‘8 Degrees Below’, but be forewarned that there are some sad parts in the movie.

‘Rascal’ if you can find it.

Ahhh... the family movie dilemma, something appropriate for the young ones which doesn't bore the old ones. I would think about Ratatouille or one of the Ice Age movies. If you want to avoid cartoons, I think the Agent Cody Banks movies also work well in this situation.

The Rocketeer
The Incredibles
Spy Kids 1
Ratatouille
