Family Movie Night 2009

This is just a housekeeping post for me. I like to keep track of the movies we watch with the kids. Hey, if anyone has any great ideas, I would love some. I am having a hard time coming up with some. We tend to see most of the animated movies that come out. It's live action (or real people) movies that I have a hard time coming up with. I feel like there are some good family movies out there that I'm totally missing or have forgotten about. I've browsed around on Netflix, but that didn't help me that much. I've got a few lined up and there are some more coming out on DVD soon that I think we'll like.

Family Movie Night

I think I've mentioned before that we've started doing a family movie night on Sunday nights. I wanted to keep track of the movies we watch so I thought I would just do it here. Most of the movies we've watched so far have been hits with us (with the exception of Underdog--just didn't hold the kids' attention--and Jingle All the Way--we discovered this really isn't a film for the under-8 crowd). I've realized that Netflix has an age listing on most movies. I've found that the ones listed for 6+ (or rated G obviously) are usually okay for Ella and Lily. It's really nice to have that as a guideline to go by when picking movies.
