Movies for a family with ALL age ranges?
Studio Ghibli makes a lot of great family movies, and their english dubs are generally well regarded. Tale of the Princess Kaguya is a personal favorite, though Kiki's Delivery Service or Howl's Moving Castle may be better crowdpleasers really almost any big Disney & Pixar film is usually pretty good. Some personal favorites are Lilo & Stitch, WALL-E & Encanto miscellaneous: Mitchells vs the Machines Puss In Boots: The Last Wish Paddington 1 & 2 (these movies are a lot better than you'd expect) The Lego Movie Megamind The Pirates! Band of Misfits / In An Adventure with Scientists (title depends on your region) More on reddit.com

The 20 Best Movies on Netflix for Kids (And Their Parents)
5 days ago - One of 2022’s most surprising hits for Netflix has been this film from one of the creators of Bolt and Big Hero 6. It’s a blend of a lot of things that have been done before with echoes of How to Train Your Dragon, Moana, and Pirates of the Caribbean (with a little Kaiju too) but this is a detailed adventure film that really plays to everyone in the family. ... Shaun the Sheep is an international treasure. The silent comedy star leads one of the most consistently hilarious franchises of all time in his own TV episodes and feature films. This one is a brilliant Netflix original from Aardman Animations about how everyone’s favorite ovine helps a stranded alien return to his own kind. ... It’s been 21 years since a proper Wallace & Gromit movie but it turns out that the cheese-loving inventor and his trusty sidekick are as funny and clever as ever.

August 26, 2024 - I also have to second the belief that movies ease discussion. The movie sets the topic from specific family members, and somehow that is just enough distance to gently step around tough subjects without individuals getting too uncomfortable. My all time favorite movie, The Man From Snowy River, released when I was 10.

r/MovieSuggestions on Reddit: Movies for a family with ALL age ranges?
October 2, 2023 -

Hi I am an eldest child of a pretty big family we have elementary kids, tweens, teenagers and young adults to adults. Everytime it happens to be a family movie night I am in charge of finding something but it’s hard as we have the whole spectrum of ages and I just don’t know what would be appropriate and easy enough to follow that a 6 year old can get it but mature enough so that a 17 year old and above won’t get bored of it and think it’s cringey or something. Do you guys have any suggestions?
