1.    The Goonies
If you grew up in the 1980's, you might remember this movie about a bunch of adventure seekers on the run. The movie is an unpreachy take on friendship, and is perfect for a weekend of whimsy, magic and adventure. Some scenes might be a bit scary, so we advise you to watch it with kids who are over 8 years old.

 

 

 

 

2.      ET: The Extra Terrestrial
Another classic, this movie teaches kids and adults, alike, about the importance of empathy and tolerance. You and your kids are bound to be moved by Eliott's friendship with a homesick alien.

 

 

 

3     Where the Wild Things Are
This magical, beautiful movie was inspired by a book which was just 338 words long. Can you believe that? This charming story about little monsters will definitely appeal to children of all ages, be it your five your old daughter or your young at heart husband!

 

 

 

 

 

4.     Spirited Away!
Miyazaki is a master storyteller; you won't even realise when and how he's transported you to a world of captivating animation and fantastic creatures. This movie, full of vivid imagery, adventure and imagination, might not be suitable for smaller kids, but your tweens and teens are sure to love it!

 

5.    The Princess Bride
At first glance, this movie might seem like any other teenybopper rom-com of its time. But don't be fooled by its name or even its poster. This is one of the funniest, most quotable movies of all time, and a must watch for every child, teen and adult!
