The Best Family Movies of All Time

by Brooke Romney | May 14, 2020 | Lifestyle, Movies | 4 comments

Well, we have been watching significantly more movies lately than ever before, and it has been so much fun sharing old favorites and new releases with our kids. So, I thought I would keep track of all the titles that have kept our family engaged together and share them with you!

I left out animated movies, since those are easy to find and sift through and instead I concentrated on shows that would be great for our stage of life, with kids 8-17. These titles haven’t been too old or too young, they are just all around good entertainment! (Most are best for 8 and up.)

I know that every family has different levels of what is “appropriate” and some of the movies have a little language or a topic or a scene you might want to skip over depending on age and maturity, but for the most part they are great shows with a good message or are just a lot of fun. (Titles are linked so they are easy to find).

Add your favorites to the comments, we can always use a good, new (or old) movie! If you are a sports loving family, we have all our favorite sports movies listed HERE.
