What about the original pirates of the Caribbean? That is cool for 10 year olds and definitely watchable for adults

 

We are Marshall

 

Remember the Titans

It's not exactly a kids movie, but we watched The Gods Must Be Crazy last week.

 

I remember this one!  Good movie.

Great one!  I know my boy has watched it, but it was a few years ago.  Would be appropriate for everyone now.  Love that movie.

 

I’m looking for movies that would be fun for the whole family.  I’m sure my kids would get a kick out of Air Bud, but that would suck for my wife and I....

 

Princess Bride

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

I don’t think there was a single line from Remember the Titans that my boys had not memorized, though they were a little older at the time.

Monster Squad, Short Circuit, Big Trouble in Little China, Karate Kid, Lost Boys, Little Shop of Horrors, Howard the Duck.....these are movies I remember watching as a kid. Not sure if they are all age appropriate these days.....

 

Add Over The Top, Never Ending Story, and The Princess Bride to this list

 

Edit #2: All the Indiana Jones Flicks & Flight of the Navigator

Ghostbusters.

 

Except for the librarian ghost turning into a monster, nothing remotely scary.  Not too racy either.

 

Bill Murray's 1st foray into being a big screen leading man Meatballs would probably be too hokey, but might work.

 

Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  Show the kids how to PROPERLY stay home from school.  ;)

Could also go back to old school Disney movies like The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes or Flubber.

Kidnapped

Swiss Family Robinson

Absent Minded Professor

Son of Flubber

Incredible Journey

That Darn Cat

The Love Bug

Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.

 

All Disney films from my youth


I watched Swiss family Robinson about a 100 times as a kid. Great movie. 
 

And my good friend growing up loved the Love Bug/Herbie movies— I think his dad watched them growing up, and got him into them— so I must have seen all of those.
