I have been enjoying the busy school days, but I have to admit that I look forward to Friday nights when my family and I get together for our weekly family movie night. We usually order takeout (90% of the time it is pizza) and snuggle together on the couch or under a bunch of blankets to watch a movie that we can all agree on. I love this time with my husband and kids. We have watched everything from documentaries to superhero movies. My daughter usually requests either Mickey Mouse or Frozen, but when we talked her into watching BEARS the other day she loved it. I think she just loves being with her family!
For helpful ideas on what to watch for family movie night, I turn to Netflix. We love our Netflix because it gives us access to fun family-friendly movies and television shows for the entire family. After we watch something this kids love, we will but them to bed and find a show that my husband and I enjoy. We have already watched the first 2 seasons of Orange is the New Black, so we have been going through old episodes of How I Met Your Mother. I love this time together!
Here are some fun Family-Friendly movies and TV shows for your next Family Movie Night:

How do you choose your family-movie night movie?
Tammy Litke (@threedifferent) says
Since we don’t have young children any more we typically take a sci-fi/fantasy or action movie as our pick 🙂 But when we’re with my nephews it’s an animated flick all the way, the last time we did movie night with them it was all about Planes. 😉
Colleen says
My kids are a little older so we need a little older family night but these are all good suggestions.
Crystal Green says
We choose family friendly movies by checking out some of the ones that are suggested from friends. Of course, we check out UPTV a lot. If we miss it on TV we are quick to check to see if Netflix has it too. (To Netflix’s credit they normally do.)

Hoodwinked is one of my all-time favorites! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this movie since it’s so funny, and I normally can’t watch a movie more than once. ~lol~
Raijean says
Yes, I need to check out a few of these films. Going to be a great movie night.
Angela says
This is a great lineup of kids’ shows. My grandkids love Bob the Builder.
Donna says
It’s usually majority rules… at least 2 of us (we’re a family of 3) has to agree. 🙂
Liz Mays says
I actually spend a lot of time reading through reviews for movies on Netflix. Once they pass muster, they go in my queue. My queue is HUGE though!

Those are some great choices. Avengers and Pirates fairy is on our top list of choices on Netflix.
Anne - Mommy Has to Work says
My six year old usually chooses….not always what we want to see though.

We loved the Turbo movie, but we haven’t seen the Turbo: Fast yet. I know my kids would love it, so maybe I’ll surprise them with a family movie night.
