Good Action Movies for Kids AND Adults (w/o swears, nudes, guns, violence)
Jurassic Park (1993) The Mummy (1999) Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) Back to the Future (1985), Part II (1989) and Part III (1990) The Rocketeer (1991) Star Wars (1977) The Empire Strikes Back (1980) Return of the Jedi (1983) The Goonies (1985) The Princess Bride (1987) Big Trouble in Little China (1986) The Three Musketeers (1993) Jumanji (1995) Men in Black (1997) Smokey and the Bandit (1977) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) - Raiders of the Lost Ark is definitely the better one, but the ending might be a bit much depending on how old your kids are. Wow, as I'm thinking about these, it makes me realize there were so many awesome ones from the 80s and 90s. What happened to family-friendly action/adventure movies? Also, Hayao Miyazaki's anime films are spectacular, and great for both kids and adults of any age: Princess Mononoke (1997) Spirited Away (2001) Castle in the Sky (1986) Porco Rosso (1992) More on reddit.com

Looking for some good new and classic family movies to watch with my 6 year old.
If he liked Bumblebee then give Pacific Rim (2013) a try. It's Ok PG-13 but there is nothing much in it. Also maybe Iron Giant (1999) More on reddit.com

r/MovieSuggestions on Reddit: Good live-action family films NOT featuring talking animals
January 17, 2025 -

I'm looking for live-action family movies that my 6 (nearly 7)-year-old daughter would enjoy. We watch plenty of animated films and live-action films that feature some sort of talking/human-acting animal. (Her favorites are Corpse Bride, Coraline, Coco, Frozen, and most recently the 1986 version of The Mouse and the Motorcycle). I know she'd like Babe and Paddington, but I'm not looking for something like that.

We recently watched Free Willy (1993), which she loved, as well as Ramona and Beezus (2010). She also really liked Hocus Pocus (1993) and the recent sequel, but I find that there just really aren't that many live-action family films anymore. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. What do you recommend?

Edit: Fantastic recommendations so far. Thanks, everyone. Just to note, we have watched many of the classics together (e.g. Goonies, Labyrinth, The Never Ending Story, Lord of the Rings) and there are a few that I plan to show her (E.T., Willy Wonka, BFG, etc.), but I'd love some recommendations for more recent films (like within the past 5 years) that are the same quality as some of these older films. Thanks again!

Our 10 favorite live action family movies - by Emily Thomas
October 9, 2025 - As with our diet of Disney classics, the live action picks are mostly movies John and I loved in childhood. If you think this means they contain no surprises, you’d be wrong — ha! We’ve been unexpectedly jolted by lines and entire scenes that must have gone right over our heads when we were younger (which I suppose is encouraging, in its own way). Whether because of language, innuendo, violence, or fear factor, live action picks feel a little trickier to choose confidently. To help you build your family movie night queue, I’ve rounded up our top ten live action family movies from what we’ve watched so far.
