Can I get a few suggestions of the movies that came up during family night (planned or impromptu) and were a hit.
- within the past 3-4 years
- relatively clean
- blockbusters to low budget

I'll start. Out of nowhere put on Gran Tourismo, big time hit at the house.

8 - 10. But like I said, they've heard their mother say some pretty nasty words so we've got some flex.

Wicked

Followed by Deadpool & Wolverine.

Trying to think of movies I saw with my family when I was that age range:

[ul]
[li]Princess Bride[/li]
[li]Back to the Future[/li]
[li]Robocop[/li]
[li]Stand By Me[/li]
[li]Who Framed Roger Rabbit?[/li]
[/ul]

The Adam Project

RoboCop for 8 year olds?

It was the 80s. We were tougher then.

I remember watching Robocop, total Recall, Predator, the Rambo movies, Terminator etc. Just wasn't a big deal.

Would you show your 8 year old the theatrical release of RoboCop? It doesn't matter what you did then, would you do it now? I think some of y'all have forgotten that it was intially given an X rating.

If you have kids that like musicals
All of the Z-O-M-B-I-E-S movies on Disney. #4 just dropped last week
Descendants - Disney
Teen Beach Movie on disney is good too

Back to the Future
Galaxy Quest
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Yeah. No.

Freaky Friday

The Jodi Foster version followed by the Lindsey Lohan version.

Neverending Story

Sandlot 1 & 2

Princess Bride

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

How has nobody said Star Wars?!?!

Also, Dune. Both the recent Part 1/Part 2 and the 1984 version.

Can they tolerate older movies that might move a little more slowly than today's films and with no CGI? If so, you could always go old-school Disney live action:

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes
The Barefoot Executive
The Million Dollar Duck
The Love Bug
That Darn Cat

Pretty sure all or most of those old films are available on Disney+.

Then when your kids are older and they recognize Snake Plissken in "Escape from New York" but can't place him, you can remind them that he was Dexter Riley.

Those movies were old for me, but still great!

And I was born in the early 1970s!

Parent Trap
Apple Dumpling Gang
Old Yeller
Swiss Family Robinson
Yes Day ( Jennifer Garner, fairly new)
The Natural
Hoosiers
12 Mighty Orphans
New Jumanji films
Old Davy Crockett movies (Disney)
Best Christmas Pageant Ever
Beethoven
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

Apple Dumpling Gang was excellent.

Sandlot
Bushwhacked
Happy Gilmore (maybe pushing the age limit here)
Big Daddy
Rookie of the Year
Cool Runnings

And for a couple really random more obscure offerings that we loved as kids

Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Boatniks

It's outside your last 3-4 years limit, but here are a couple that haven't been mentioned that may meet the other criteria.

• The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller 2013 version)
• Evan Almighty
