April 3, 20205 yr Now that we all have a lot more time at home with our kids, I'm interested in what list everyone has of movies that they have made their kids watch. I've got this list so far, Back to the Future Princess Bride Bill and Ted Jurassic Park Karate Kid Goonies
April 3, 20205 yr The Rocketeer ET Labyrinth Flight of the Navigator Raiders of the Lost Ark Edited April 3, 20205 yr by mdmost
April 3, 20205 yr 5 minutes ago, mdmost said: Flight of the Navigator a buddy of mine has three boys aged 4, 7, and 9. got them to watch this about a month ago. they were glued to the screen.
April 3, 20205 yr Probably shouldn't "force" your kids to watch a movie, but let's assume they're willing participants. October Sky Ghostbusters Beetlejuice Hoosiers Field of Dreams Off the top of my head. I'd throw Three Amigos and Raising Arizona in there but maybe your kids wouldn't get it.
April 3, 20205 yr My kid (7) loves jurassic park (even the new ones). At the start of each school year when they do those back to school pictures where they ask what you want to be he says ‘paleontologist’ which he is convinced involves training dinosaurs.
April 3, 20205 yr Breakin' Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo Rad Thrashin' North Shore Flash Gordon Twister Big Trouble in Little China
April 3, 20205 yr Getting my kids (14 and 12) back tonight for the first time in 3 weeks. Been working through movies with my son over the last 6 months or so. That will continue now.
April 3, 20205 yr I’ve been wanting to watch Better off Dead and Cannon Ball Run with my 15 yo but can’t find either of them on the streaming services

I've got this list so far, Back to the Future Princess Bride Bill and Ted Jurassic Park Karate Kid Goonies I think we have knocked all these off your list but KK my 9yo daughter was WTF-ing all through Bill and Ted and generally confused. The scenes with Missy (no, call me mom) were a little awkward.

These are just some of the ones they've watched multiple (some would say an excessive number of) times.

April 3, 20205 yr I can't help but notice this thread hasn't been melded with the one about where/when the movie in which we saw our first tits.

April 3, 20205 yr Last of the Starship Fighters Dragonslayer Lucas Can't Buy Me Love Last American Virgin My Bodyguard Stripes The Lost Boys
April 3, 20205 yr If you watch the Breakin’ movies you would be doing yourself a disservice to not watch Krush Groove.I have indeed. Good soundtrack though IMO not as entertaining as the Breakin’ anthology
April 3, 20205 yr I'm not seeing Fandango listed. It's like I don't even know you people anymore. Bunch of weenies. Edited April 3, 20205 yr by RPM
April 4, 20205 yr Most of what we watched is already here Since the shutdown we've also watched Tremors and Die Hard.
April 4, 20205 yr Might Ducks 1,2,3 Honey I Shrunk the Kids Beethoven Harry and the Hendersons Mrs Doubtfire Dennis the Menace Hook 1991 Jumanji 1995 Willy Wonka

April 4, 20205 yr Naked Gun series Airplane! Hot Shots 1 & 2 Not from your time frame, but Monty Python Holy Grail also.
April 4, 20205 yr Insatiable Flesh Gordon Behind the Green Door Taboo II The Devil in Miss Jones Deep Throat
April 4, 20205 yr Within the last few months, my son (he's 12) and I have watched Aliens and DIe Hard. Oddly, he's never seen Top Gun. Maybe we need to knock that one out this weekend.

April 4, 20205 yr Depends on the kid. I think 12+ would like it, it's a buddy film. Truman Sparks will have them in tears. They'll understand the rest on repeat viewings. Dancer, Texas Pop. 81 is another one 12+ will enjoy.
April 4, 20205 yr My kids love MST3K. Amazon Prime is currently streaking one of the greatest episodes ever: Space Mutiny.
April 4, 20205 yr Just recorded Top Gun to watch this weekend. Also recording Life is Beautiful in a couple days. Stand by Me Coming to America The Pink Panther (Peter Sellers and Steve Martin) Holy Grail and, of course, My Cousin Vinny
April 4, 20205 yr Lost in America The Scout Breaking Away The Rookie Smokey and the Bandit Bad News Bears i know a few may be in 70’s Edited April 4, 20205 yr by Underdog
April 4, 20205 yr We're going to attempt Close Encounters of the Third Kind tonight. I predict the line of "I'm bored" will be thrown out on more than one occasion.

Yeah, but if watch it WITH mashed potatoes, imagine the fun. It really is a very clever movie. Before I was paid to speak french...I was a mapmaker.
