Family Movie Night

Philippines
May 20, 2019 2:57am CST
Wife and I decided to set a movie night with the whole family every week. We chose Saturday because it's not a busy day for us. We started just this weekend and watched The Never Ending Story. It was a fun family bonding activity and we'll save time for it every week. Do you have a family movie night too? What are good family fantasy movies (to trigger my children's imagination) to watch?

@hexeduser22 Well, I'm not sure yet, I just bought netflix subscription yesterday and started to watch "The Rain' it looks awesome, but most of the shows in netflix nowadays are all about zombies. Do you have netflix?

That's a good movie. If you have Netflix there is a great movie about Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin, live action. I think your kids would love it.

We were supposed to watch that in the Cinema, but there were some unforeseen events that took place and so we missed it. My children love the cartoon Tiger and Pooh, so I think you're correct that they will like that movie

That’s a nice tradition. When our kids were at home, we went out to dinner and to the movies once a week.

I watch series with my husband almost every evening. I don't like going to movies, because I prefer privacy.

I forgot to mention, we were just watching movies in our living room. Can't really watch series at the moment because of the kids. They are sure to have lots of questions while watching.

@Julie555 At their age, they prefer something that can tickle their imagination

That's a good time to spend quality time with family. I spend my weekends in preparing for Church choir songs :)

It's a 1984 fantasy movie about a kid who read a book called "The Never Ending Story" and saved the whole fantasy world. It's a really fun movie to watch with kids

we usually have Sundays as 'time together day' where we just sit and watch movies and no gadgets allowed

Yesss, no gadgets allowed. We also have that rule here, but it mostly applies to us parents. Our kids, very seldom, borrow our gadgets. Sunday is when we go to church and go get groceries.

@dgobucks226 Star Wars is reserved when they are a bit older. I'll add Back to the Future on my list.
