Best family movie?

We love family movies! Interested to know what everyones favorites are!!! What are yours?

Gee, it would be hard to pick just one!!! In the comedy category I'd have to include Herbie the Lovebug, Snowball Express, and That Darn Cat (THE ORIGINAL-OF COURSE). In the Drama category I'd have to say Sound of Music, Sarah, plain and tall, Skylark, Anne of Green Gables, and Anne of Avonlea.

Pollyanna
Toy Story

That's all I can think of right now. I'll have to say that I didn't really like any of the ones you listed, but my wife loves several of them. Just personal taste I guess.

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is one that I enjoy that hasn't already been mentioned. Also The Absent-Minded Professor (the Fred McMurray one, not "Flubber" with Robin Williams). Give me a little bit, and I can think of a whole lot more.....

I loved the Love Bug movies. They have a special place in my heart because I remember going to the Old Esquire Theater in Amarillo (where I grew up) on Sunday afternoons to see Herbie matinees. The Esquire was a Depression-era theater with all the opulence that theaters from that era possessed. It had a balcony and red velvet chairs and the whole works. They tore the place down in the early '80s and built an office building in its place.

I always liked It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World. It had a really good cast (Milton Berle, Buddy Hackitt, Micky Rooney, Johnathon Winters, Sid Ceaser) and a lot of good cameos as well.(Jerry Lewis, The Three Stooges, Don Knotts) It's one of my favorite family movies.

I agree with Toy Story ...

And there's another one, though the name escapes me right now -- it was a late 1950s movie, the ORIGINAL regarding a siamese cat and a little white dog (can't remember what kind) from canada who trek all across the wilderness to reunite with their owner. they weren't particularly eager for the family but the owner ... i know there are a couple of more recent versions but this is the old one with entirely different animals and i am certain the cat was siamese. that's an all time fav of mine. one of the few i could watch over and over again ...

Is it "Milo & Otis"? I loved that movie as a little kid! Dunno if I'd like it today or not - can't imagine how it would be any fun watching, since I don't remember them talking or anything.

Weird, those regular spoofmakers didn't make a movie titled "FAMILY MOVIE" yet.

How many more ten year old threads is this guy going to revive with one word replies?

No more; he was just quota spamming to post some link. All gone.

Why can't the post count for posting be increased to 50?
But then again they might make 50 of those ridiculous one word posts, that would be a bigger mess to clean up.

No one would do 50. 50's a lot.

Maybe.

Me and my daughters love watching Father of the Bride (Steve Martin, Diane Keaton) together with me. It's a great family film.

For me, it's Toy Story or any movie from Pixar. Last year's How To Train Your Dragon was excellent too !

The Toy Story Trilogy.

I'd say anything Pixar. Most animated Disney films. Most pre-1980 live-action Disney films. The Wizard of Oz. My family also loves Return to Oz, but that's from Disney's post-1980 "iffy" period.

Return To Oz is a great dark kids film. We need more Dark Kids Films.

I guess I'm quoting a 10 year old post but The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is the best on this list because it's the only one I know my whole family would enjoy. Toy Story is a great movie for kids and a lot of adults but my dad probably wouldn't sit through it.

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken sucked.

Maybe it's a guilty pleasure, but I liked the Incredible Mr. Limpet.

WHAT!? I can appreciate The Incredible Mr. Limpet but The Ghost and Mr. Chicken SUCKED? How? It was classic Don Knotts and who doesn't like him?
