The Most Recommended Family-Friendly Movies

One of my FAVORITE things to do with our kids is to watch movies that I enjoyed from my childhood as I LOVE seeing how they react to these movies and being a part of their first experience. Last night as we were watching Beethoven, I asked my buddies on Instagram what their favorite non-animated family-friendly movies are, and the list below contains the majority of those answers. I may have missed a few but I hope this list is helpful for you the next time you want to sit down to a good family flick. Many of these I had forgotten about and now look forward to, and many I actually have never seen, so thank you for the recommendations!
