Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
boondock saints, expendables, the longest yard (either version), the waterboy, grown ups, Full metal jacket (not a kids choice), two lane blacktop, heartbreak ridge, just about anything comedy or action works for me unless its outright terrible.
Because it is of my era, I can always watch the comedies of the late 70s-early 80s.
Especially anything Mel Brooks and all of the Aykroyd/Belushi/Ivan Reitman films.
Except 1941. That was horrible.

I do find it interesting how that is considered such a bad movie, it's definitely one of my favorites. Perhaps it's because I have a bit more of a historical perspective on it. Besides, what other movie has a scene with Squiggy in it?! ("Hey, what are you shooting at", "I don't know, whatever he's shooting at")
Speaking of movies others may hate but a kid might really enjoy... give Rocket Man a shot, very juvenile humor for some reason I just love it.... "Wasn't Me!"
Rocket man is good - your kids will love it.

Most of mine have already been covered except The Christmas Story and The Sandlot.
Funny timing with this thread: we just celebrated Katie turning 21 with a family-night screening of The Big Lebowski--while drinking White Russians, of course.
And I will add Glengarry Glen Ross to the list.

it's cheesy but we love to watch this movie.
the wife loves this movie - every year she watches it.
In reply to Marjorie Suddard:
Glengarry was not a blockbuster but the sales meeting scene with Alex Baldwin is classic. One time we had a sales meeting at work and watched the 10 minute Baldwin clip - my boss was trying to stress how good our sales guys had it compared to this movie. What kind of car do you drive?
In reply to Datsun310Guy:
"First prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."
Oh, yeah.
