The critical thing is the age of your youngest child: if they’re bored or scared, you’re in trouble. Check out Disney classics, and anything by Pixar. We’ve recently started on 80s movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Back to the Future, but our youngest is finding some of those too scary. Comedies seem safest.

Disney have loads of great movies suitable for the whole family. From bub all the way up to granma

You can never go wrong with Disney classics.

Disney and Pixar movies are all good for families.

Disney have the best family friendly movies, great for the young ones as well as nan and pop

An all time favourite in our house is Baby’s Day Out, its a movie the whole family can enjoy.
We’re Back the dinosaur movie is another family favourite.
The Home Alone movies, Matilda, Mrs Doubtfire, Miracle On 34th Street, Smoky Mountain Christmas, The Santa Claus movies, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mr Bean, Batman movies, Madagascar, Smurfs, The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe, A Pigs Tale, Babe 1 & 2, Charlotte’s Web, Jumanji, & don’t forget the classics Cinderella, Beauty & The Beast, Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs, The Magic Faraway Tree.

Disney/Pixar movies are usually great for all. But also consider Studio Ghibli movies like Ponyo and My Neighbor Totoro.

We bought a Zoo is a great movie for the whole family! And we love all the Disney/Pixar ones as well!

It is sometimes hard to find what one person likes, so depending how many in the family, get each to make a suggestion, put them into a hat, draw out one, and then see if your local video shop has it in. This way everybody gets a say, and one will be extremely lucky. If not this idea, when you go to hire, ask t he s taff, tell them what your family likes are, and ask for suggestions from them. I find my local video shop knows all the new ones, and can be most hellpful when I need something different.. try it anyway

The croodes is kinda funny, monsters university, despicable me 1 and 2 my fiancé loves lol

We have enjoyed this year son 3.5 years old Despicable me, Frozen, Cars, Planes and Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Hope this helps

All of the Disney pixel movies are great. Fun and entertaining for the whole family.
