51 (why stop at 50) Best Throwback Family Movies

We love family movie nights!  Cuddling up on the couch with popcorn, lights off and snuggled under blankets.  My oldest son is my biggest movie buff.  He is constantly looking for something new to watch.  So lately I have been digging deep for some of those oldies but goodies that I grew up watching!  These are the movies that, even now when they come on TV, I get totally sucked into!  Depending on the age of your kids, you may want to edit the list and make sure they are age appropriate, but for the most part, they are all pretty family friendly (this coming from someone whose 3 year-old knew every word to every Star Wars – you have been warned!)

    I have seen every single one of those movies, some more than three times. My favorites are: Adventures in Babysitting, Flight of the Navigator, and my husband just loves Princess Bride. Those movies were amazing. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    Great suggestions – planning to try a few next movie night. Some for you: The Dark Crystal, E.T. and the Beethoven series?

    These are some awesome suggestions! I love Grease, Billy Elliot, and Footloose. My favourite has to be The Sound of Music though.
