74 Best Family Movies to Watch Together

Kelly R. said:  Sing (and Sing 2) are some of my family's all-time best movies for family movie night. We watched Sing 2 twice in the same weekend. These totally fun and uplifting movies about ambitious animals with a talent for song have soundtracks that appeal to kids and adults, so you won't mind all of the repeat viewings!

Kelly R. said:  Pixar's latest is a charming fish-out-of-water story about a young sea monster who comes to the surface and tries to blend in as a human boy for a summer on the Italian Riviera. We loved Maya Rudolph and Jim Gaffigan as Luca's parents.

Kelly R. said:  Sports movies are a great way to help teach kids about the importance of teamwork and perseverance, and this one has John Candy! Loosely based on the story of Jamaica's first Olympic bobsled team, it's a funny, quirky, and positive film that encourages following your dreams.

Kelly R. said:  The literary bear with a soft spot for marmalade travels from Peru to London and is taken in by the Brown family. Belly laughs ensue as Paddington adjusts to his new life and tries to escape being added to the collection at the Natural History Museum. My family has enjoyed this more than once, and we loved the sequel too!

Shila said:  One of the best family movies from the 80s stars a young Ralph Macchio (Daniel) who finds himself getting bullied by some Cobra Kai Dojo students. A local repairman named Mr. Miyagi takes it upon himself to teach Daniel a more authentic form of karate and self defense.

Dawn Denning said:  Magical lands are only a wardrobe away for four siblings during this WW2 based family movie. A land of beasts, queens and adventure are a great time for everyone in the family. A wise lion will help kids learn about responsibility and loyalty as well as consequences for bad choices.

Dawn Denning said:  A family favorite sports movie based on the love of football and the racial intolerance of a small town in 1971. This true story focuses on how a common goal can change a person's opinion and perspective. With the integration of schools and the replacement of a winning head coach, a hostile group of football players and townspeople learn to work together and overcome adversity and racial tension.

Marcia Alvarez Delgado said:  Great movie for the whole family.

Kelly R. said:  Jane and Michael Banks' new nanny takes them on a musical adventure while teaching the Banks clan (and us) a lesson or two about the importance of family. The music, the dancing, and the magic are captivating and keep young kids entertained despite the 2+ hour length. Practically perfect for all ages.

Jennifer McCarthy said:  My boys love to imagine time travel. And Doc Brown is a great character.

Sarah Calamita said:  Music by Lin Manuel Miranda (need I say more?!) A story about a family that lives in a magical house and each child except one have a special gift. It is a cute and heart warming story your kids will love.

Kelly R. said:  When her world is threatened by an evil force, Raya goes on a quest to track down the last dragon and restore peace. I love that this beautifully-animated film continues Disney's trend of new kid movies featuring strong and independent princesses without a love interest. While this one may not earn all of the repeat viewings that many of our favorite Disney movies of all time do, the whole family enjoyed it!

Kelly R. said:  A classic Disney princess jumps from her animated fairytale into modern-day New York City, and hilarity (and a seriously delightful soundtrack) ensue.

Kelly R. said:  A family movie musical inspired by P.T. Barnum's life, with fun dance numbers and a soundtrack that makes it worthy of repeat viewings for my kids.
