It’s the Christmas season, and the entire family has decided to have a movie night by popping some popcorn in the microwave. Sure, there are a lot of possibilities, but when children are involved, the choices can get a little problematic.
Is it appropriate for my child’s age? Will the kids enjoy it? Will I be able to? Is it possible that the music may get stuck in your head? (Because a song like “You’re Welcome” from Moana has a good probability of staying in your head for a long time.) There’s a lot to think about—and all of the criteria have already given us a headache.
Finding the ideal film for both adults and children can be a difficult task. But what happens when you finally agree on something and it’s good? You’ll be glad you got together and spent some quality time together.
True, a solid narrative with an occasional head-banging son will ensure that the entire family is happy.
So grab a snack, curl up on the couch with a blanket, and fire up your favorite streaming service because these are the finest family movies to watch tonight.
1. Spiderman: No Way Home
Our friendly neighborhood web-slinger is no longer able to separate his daily existence as Peter Parker from the high stakes of being a superhero, thanks to the exposure of Spider-identity.
When Peter seeks Doctor Strange’s assistance, the stakes rise even higher, forcing him to discover what it means to be Spider-Man.
This film made us feel every emotion imaginable, and you won’t be disappointed by the conclusion since you’ll remember that satisfying sense of a wonderful cinematic experience with your family when you first saw Spider-Man!
2. Jumanji
Forget the remake; the original 1995 film is guaranteed to be entertaining for the entire family.
When two small children discover a mystical board game, they unleash a world full of adventure (including Robin Williams, who has been locked inside the game for decades) and dangers that can only be averted by completing it.
3. Kapoor and Sons
Arjun and Rahul, brothers, return home to see their dying grandfather. Emotions are heightened amid a slew of continuing family issues when a girl causes a breach between the two.
This film takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. It’ll make you cry and smile all at the same time.
4. Khosla Ka Ghosla
The beauty of this film lies in the fact that it avoided the customary comedy jokes. What’s not to like about this film? It has a great cast, even greater acting, and a refreshing story.
This is without a doubt one of the best Bollywood family films.
5. Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe
During the bombings of London during World War II, four English siblings are sent to a country mansion to be safe. Lucy (Georgie Henley) discovers a wardrobe that transfers her to the enchanted kingdom of Narnia one day.
She returns to Narnia with her brothers, Peter (William Moseley) and Edmund (Skandar Keynes), as well as her sister, Susan, shortly after her return (Anna Popplewell).
They join Aslan (Liam Neeson), the mythical lion, in the struggle against Jadis, the evil White Witch (Tilda Swinton).
This film will make you believe in magic and make you feel as if there is nothing else out there. This film is a breath of fresh air in comparison to reality.
6. Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani
Few films have captured the transformation of 20-year-old children into 30-year-old adults as well as this one. It also managed to give the phrase “mere yaar ki Shaadi hai” a whole new meaning.
7. Good Will Hunting
It’s definitely been much too long since anyone in your family has seen the film that launched Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s careers, so why not do it together?
addition to comedy and heart in equal measure, Good Will Hunting has one of the late Robin Williams’ best performances.
8. Meenakshi Sundareshwar
Two newlyweds are forced to live apart owing to a rare employment opportunity, and they must deal with the problems, setbacks, and hilarity that come with a long-distance marriage.
This film will remind you how vital it is to be with your loved ones, especially during the holiday season, when it’s all about joy and cuddling.
9. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (or maybe a Harry Potter Marathon)
The child in us is always happy to hop on the train at platform 9¾ to go back to the magical walls of Hogwarts. And our family accompanying us on this always makes the revisit better, doesn’t it?
10. Home Alone
While the idea of going on vacation and leaving your eight-year-old child behind is unthinkable, you’ll be glad the McAllisters did it by accident.
This holiday favorite (that may be enjoyed all year) is packed with enough amusing antics to keep the whole family entertained.
11. Badhai Ho
If you haven’t seen this Ayushmann Khurrana-led film yet, do so now! Not only is the film’s concept novel, but it will also make you appreciate the value of family.
The film’s highlight is undoubtedly Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao’s outstanding performances. PS: All of the other actors were fantastic as well.
12. Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
This film has a great message – that you may be “just friends” with your ex, and that a movie doesn’t have to end with the primary couple falling in love. Also, the tune ‘Aunty Ji’ still has you tapping your feet!
