    We usually watch a movie together as a family on Friday nights.  We have no TV, but do have Netflix for this purpose, some educational stuff, and an occasional movie for just me and my DH.

    BUT…we are pretty much out of ideas at this point as to what to add to our queue…sooo, we’d very much appreciate everyone’s suggestions 🙂

    I’m not sure of the ages of your kids so these may or may not work for you.  Also, we’re all boys (well, except me) so we go for more ‘actiony’ type stuff.

    Both Narnia movies

    Bolt

    3-2-1- Penguins (I think they’re hilarious too)

    VeggieTales – pretty much any of them

    Next Avengers (the children of the Avengers – if you’re okay with fighting and the concept of superheroes, in particular Thor)

    Reading Rainbow – we adults enjoy it too

    Popular Mechanics for Kids – keeps all of us glued to the TV

    A More Perfect Union and the Liberty Kids series

    Dinotopia series (haven’t seen in a while but I think they’re okay)

    Carmen Sandiego movies

    Animals are Beautiful People

    Legion of Superheroes (again, depends on your feelings about superheroes, but they’re geared to kids so are much cleaner than others)

    the Sandlot movies – some of them may have a crude remark, but I can’t remember well

    The following have a few “crude” comments, but they’re ones that I’m okay with.  Each parent is different though –

    Underdog

    Ice Age 1 and 2

    Robots

    Justice League (okay, we all love superheroes – my husband will watch them for hours)

    the High School Musical movies – they’re clean, but cheesy – same with Camp Rock and Another Cinderella Story.  Some attitude from kids towards their parents at times too.

    These are some of our Netflix from the past year that the kids (mainly the 2 older children–boys ages 11 and 9) have like: 

    The Three Stooges

    The Little Rascals

    Johnny Quest 

    Around the World in 80 Days

    The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

    Davey Crockett

    That Darn Cat

    My Side of the Mountain

    Muppets

    The Love Bug

    Swiss Family Robinson

    Flash Gordon

    The Apple Dumpling Gang

    Mary Poppins

     

    We’re really into watching the oldies!  The boys LOVE slapstick humor, not my favorite, but it’s clean and it makes my heart smile to hear them giggling and rolling on the floor in fits of laughter…
