Faces of Death?

That used to be a big hit back when I was with the family. Man I really do miss the Mansons.

Breaking Away, wow, haven't thought about that one in years
I don't forget it living in this town Probably not a good fit for your occasion but nonetheless something that the thread title sparks in my mind is the Journey of Natty Gann from the eighties. Always liked that one, Jack Londonesque with the Disney stamp of approval.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.


KIDDING! HA HA!

Seriously, anything that comes out of Pixar or Dreamworks is a winner. Cute enough to keep the kids locked in, but clever enough for the adults.

I can't believe no one suggested "Princess Bride"

Princess Bride - good for all ages. We used it to test video equipment in the shop and no one EVER was bored after seeing it many, many times.

Here's a link:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093779/...lay-E27319-314

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?

Time Bandits (with Sean Connery) Delightfully surreal and even has a moral at the end you can all sit around and discuss.

Otherwise, I strongly second Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki who is considered by many the Walt Disney of Japanese anime (only better...)
English voice acting is ok, but best viewed with the original Japanese voice actors and English subtitles. (which is a great subtle ploy to get kids to read more.)

Then there's always the 20th anniversary release of Tron. Digital fun for the whole family.

We just watched Second Hand Lions on a couple of recomedations I read yesterday. Great Movie for kids and adults alike. One of the best family moves I've ever seen.

A very enthusiastic second motion for Princess Bride. One of our favorites.

I was going to suggest "The Princess Bride", but it looks like someone already beat me to it. So how about "Better off Dead". The name's a little off-putting but the movie's great for all ages. GOOD LUCK!!

"Throw Momma From the Train"

and

"Trains, Planes and automobiles"

and

There is one more but I forget the name. If stared the guy that played Bundy the shoe salesman on "Married with Children". He picks up his girlfriends kid from boarding school to take him home for X-mass. It is a killer of a funny movie, and the name does not register Old age I guess...

All three are great and funny...

Couple of oldies-but-goodies: Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang (1968) & Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965). Another goodie from '65 is "The Russians Are Coming ! The Russians Are Coming !"

I believe the movie you're referring to is called "Dutch".
