Star
Our kids absolutely love watching this movie even when it's not Christmas time. It brings a sense of reality of the events around Christ's birth.

We only list our favorite movies. If it's not on the list you can submit it, otherwise we've considered it and it hasn't made the grade.
Simon Birch
It's a comical tragedy.

Dead Poets Society
I like the motivation the teacher brings to the classroom and his encouragement to learn. The huge dichotomy between the father figures of the boys is just too much for one and [spoiler alert] he takes his own life. That can be a very…
Brother Bear
An average film, certainly better than a lot of others. If you just can't find anything else at least the music is pretty good as it's by Phil Collins. Phil also did Tarzan, a better story and better songs. Good of the kids.

Johnny English Strikes Again
The new Johnny English movie is available for home viewing now. My kids laughed out loud at certain parts but it's not my favorite of the Johnny English series.

Johnny English Reborn
You either like the dry British humor or you don't. It's crazy, silly action.

Knight and Day
An action movie, light. There are some scary scenes (plane crash after people shooting each other), a lot of other people shooting at each other and some sensual scenes. Like an MI movie kinda.

The Firm
I put a warning on this because of the violence although there isn't much to see.
When it came out in 1994 it was ground breaking in its twists and turns and outcome.
(You have to watch it at least once as the British monarchy…
Speed Racer
The producer did a good job bringing the comic book feel to life. Sometimes its a wild ride and the end kind of leaves you...

The Tourist
Another root for the bad guy movie, with a couple of twists. 1. Who is the bad guy, 2. Who is the bad guy.
I promise when you watch the movie a second time it's a totally different movie.
(The ratings on this movie might be a little…
Hook
It's a good live action of the story that was first done in animation. (Hey didn't this idea become real popular starting in 2017. A ton of live action movies started coming to the theater, after their animated versions were a smashing…

As an adult I can never make it all the way through this movie, but the kids really love it.

The Italian Job
In the same vein as the Oceans 11 movies, where you root for the thief, but instead of just rooting for the bad guys there is a twist and then you're asked what is good and what is bad. Warning as there is some violent action.

Peter Rabbit
A fun story. It acts like hiding ones feelings and emotions from another is a good thing. When is it OK to stuff your emotions so deep so as to not impact other relationships?

Trying to recapture the hart gripping action of the original and they didn't quite succeed.

The Karate Kid, Part II
Not much of a comedy, not much of a drama. Plot seems like it needed help so they threw a storm into the mix.

The Karate Kid
This movie lets you root for the underdog. It has bullying, racism, poor vs good training, a love story that crosses economic boundaries, and a lot more stuff.
