Fun family movies that we forgot about?

Yeah, it's a non-issue for me, too, but I know OP tends to prefer less-sweary content for her family.

❤️ true.

Lots of good stuff already mentioned.

We enjoyed the new Jumanji movies and Jungle Cruise. The Paddington movies are surprisingly good - charming, funny etc.

We thought my ten year old would like Goonies, but he asked to shut it off after about 15 minutes.

I find those so charming, plus the British actor cameos (like Peter Capaldi, who I adore!) are aces.

Might be questionable, but we love them anyways:

Big Trouble in Little China (might be too much for the littles, but since about age 8-9 dd2 has really liked this)

Shanghai Noon (kind of like Goonies it might be a little suggestive but nothing awful)

Kindergarten Cop (although the one kindergartners does say v@g-n@)

Goonies (although DD2 didn’t really like this until around 11….I guess when you are 8 or 9 in the 1980s and there are only a limited amount of movies you learn to like it)

Guardians of the Galaxy series

Miss Congeniality (this one is tamer than The Proposal, which I won’t let DD2 watch yet)

While You Were Sleeping

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

The Cutting Edge

Get Smart

Misses:
Monsters Inc.
The Music Man (my kids were so not interested in this!)
Beethoven (this kind of scared Dd2….a few years ago though)
Homeward Bound (this is more of my miss because my sister watched this movie too much when I was a teen and she was about 5-10)
Shrek 4
Toy Story 3&4

I was going to suggest Charlottes Web, my girls loved that movie when they were younger. We recently watched Freaky Friday (Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan) and even DH was amused with it. Parent Trap is good too (either version). They liked The Three Musketeers with Charlie Sheen though there are scenes with drinking and implied behaviors towards women. Everafter with Drew Barrymore and Little Women with Winona Ryder are some of my favorites that my girls have also enjoyed.

Oh, what about Babe (the pig movie)? It’s so sweet and charming!

I keep referencing this one and just realized DD hasn't seen it. It's generally tame, I agree, but warn that the setup at the beginning of the movie and the ending sequence might be a little scary for younger kids. (Honestly, the "v@gin@" kid's dad is a gynecologist, which basically made his typical "Kindergarten over-sharer" behaviors really easy to understand - he probably hears the terms at home frequently.)

Oh, and trivia tidbit, fans of The Goonies will recognize its setting, Astoria, OR.
