I would suggest getting the first season of The Middle. My kids love to watch it and we watch this show over and over. It is a great family show. My kids also like to watch The Honeymooners. I have the collection and it is hilarious. But how about some older movies like Bad News Bears? That is a classic.

Second Hand Lions was great!
The Goonies? Chicken Run, The Princess Bride, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, A Bug's Life, The Princess Diaries, Ice Age?

Cool Runnings.
That popped into my head with all the talk about the 2014 Jamaican Bobsled team.
I will always love Fern Gully.
DH and I argued over whether or not Epic = Fern Gully. I also maintain Avatar is Fern Gully with giant blue aliens instead of fairies.

Honey I shrunk the kids! Boys love that and it's bearable for the adults. Everything else was already suggested that I'm familiar with but I'll second Bad News Bears and Ice Age.

Star Wars. If this lousy weather keeps up, you'll be able to watch all 6 movies!
If you want to entertain the kids, I'd suggest Despicable Me I & II.

I haven't seen it, but when I worked at the Library, Mask was extremely popular with the kids.
Mine like a movie called Dinosaur - which is the story of Alladar, starting with his egg, hatching and then skipping until he's like a late teen/early grownup. And an asteroid smacks into the Earth...
Chicken Run is good. Brendan Fraser's Mummy and Mummy Returns, if you think they are old enough - I don't know what your level of violence for the kids is. And I don't remember how old yours are. Mine are 4 and 5.5. DH and I have been talking about Galaxy Quest and Mystery Men lately.

And there's any of the old Tarzan movies. King Kong too. And and of the Godzilla movies, if you like monster movies. I like the older ones, esp. the ones with the voice overs.

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. It's a spoof of old Kung Fu movies.
I laugh so hard I cry every time I watch it. It's so stupid but I can't help myself.

We've been watching old Disney movies on Netflix. They've always loved Mary Poppins but it is not one of the choices, unfortunately.

I bought Wizard of Oz and mine had absolutely NO interest in it. Not even when it went to color.

Howard the Duck.
And to drive hom I have a thing for bad 80's movies: Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
Sad to say this but I found it way funnier as an adult because I picked up on a lot that went over my head as a kid.

Not a movie- but my son and his friends love watching Gilligan's Island. DS has started watching Hogan's Heros too.

My kids have been on a Shrek kick lately, it seems the animated ones are the only things I can get them both to watch. Otherwise, the older one prefers things along the lines of Star Wars, Star Trek, Farscape and Dr. Who.

Go to IMDB and look under "like movies" for a movie you liked. For example, Secondhand Lions had Marley & Me, My Girl, Beethoven, etc.

We're going to watch The Princess Bride. I've never seen it and I've heard it referenced a million times.

Don't know how old the kids are so in no particular order so older more off the wall movies that seem to be amusing to kids and adults:
Whale Rider Coraline The Ghost and Mrs Muir Ghostbusters Hook Meet me in St. Luis The Triplets of Beleville Anything Wallace and Grommit

Skip Land Before Time and all 20,000 of it's sequels - they all sucked. Oooh, Jules Verne. Or League of ExtraOrdinary Gentlemen.

I'll give you all 20,000 sequels suck but how dare you say the original sucked?! I still have my stuffed Little Foot, Gwen recently found him in my mom's closet. He's in really good condition considering how old he is. I had a massive tantrum in JCP so my parents bought a conformter set and he came free with it. I proceeded to drag him to the movie with me. Mom kept him for prosterity. Not good to watch pregnant, I bawled my eyeballs out.

Free WillyMan, I am so dating myself. Just make sure it's not the porn version. Have they seen the Pirates of the Caribbean yet? I would suggest the first 2 movies that came out but can't remember the name of the second one. One is POTC Ghost ship? or something like that.

Watch Dinosaur instead of Land Before Time. Much better. I took assorted nieces and nephews to see Land Before Time.
Oh, American Tail; Shaggy DA; Herbie the Love Bug movies?; The Narnia stuff; The King and I (with Yul Brenner);
My DH loves Clint Eastwood westerns. I prefer John Wayne westerns.
