Amira Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 We always have a hard time finding movies our entire family wants to watch. Any ideas that would appeal to two teenagers and a six-year-old? Dh and I will watch anything if the boys are happy. :) ETA that TV series would be good too.

Stacia Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm not much into kids movies myself, but did love Night at the Museum (the first one) and Toy Story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saw Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 For movie night tonight I picked The Perfect Game, for a 16 yo, 13 yo and 8 yo. I liked it and the kids did too, especially the two who have a clue about baseball. It's so hard though to pick for this age range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooh bear Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I highly recommend getting this book: The Best Old Moves for Families. He breaks movies down into categories and tells you why you should watch them. We have some some great movies because of this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharonM Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Far from home: the adventures of yellow dog. Truly beautiful scenery and great story. the Great Escape. wwii prisoner of war camp mates try to escape. (no real violence but some stuff is more intuitive rather than explicit) my kids watched it from early teens. your older kids might like it. triumph over adversity. Alaska - tow kids take a journey to find their missing bush pilot father who has crashed. These are all older movies. Might be on Netflix.
