Sharing This Post Would Be Awesome Of You!

Either way in this round-up of family movies on prime, I have added trailers to this article, so you can show your kids what they might expect from each movie.

You never know, maybe this will help you create a little excitement for the film too.

So get the popcorn ready, put your feet up and cuddle in and enjoy a superb cosy night in with your family watching one of these timeless classics. Home Alone (1990)

Ok, let’s start with the one and only Home Alone from 1990. Gosh, this is truly a superb family film. I honestly do not think I have known one member of my family that hasn’t seen it and totally loved it.

Kevin who is an eight-year-old child is left on his own during the Christmas vacation, obviously, this is by mistake.

Surprisingly, Kevin has to protect his home from a pair of rather rubbish burglars.

This causes the home alone child to make the intruders lives hell in some of the funniest ways you can imagine.

Albeit the bungling burglars may not find it as funny.

This film is a must at any family movie night.

Rent it for £3.49 in HD

Buy it for £7.99 in HD

IMDB Rating 7.6 stars

Uncle Buck & Cool Runnings

Next up Uncle Buck featuring the one and only John Candy. I was so torn between which film I should add of Candy’s because there are so many I could watch over and over again.

So, I have chosen two films the second choice is Cool Runnings.

It was a tough call between this and planes trains and automobiles but personally, for the kids, they seem to really love candy running the Jamaican bobsled team.

Our front room is always filled with laughter at Candy’s flicks that is for sure.

Uncle Buck is a Bachelor and all round slob, Buck, babysits his brother’s rebellious teenage daughter and her cute younger brother and sister. This is a heartwarming feel-good film that often has you o the verge of tears with the added extra of joy. An emotional rollercoaster of a film or what!

Cool Runnings is a tale about a team of underdogs in the winter Olympics. You can’t help but cheer them on as you watch the film.

IMDB Rating 7 stars

Unfortunately, there is no rental option right now for Uncle buck

Cool Runnings you can buy in HD for £11.99, again there are no rental options for this title which is a shame. Either way, it is a great Family movie.

IMDB Rating 6.9 stars

Addams Family

No family movie night would be complete without introducing the kids to the timeless classic The Addams Family. Snuggle up and get the family cosy to watch this ghoulish family comedy with pillows at the ready.

I recall watching this with my eldest son who is now 17 and he really enjoyed it when he was younger.

I am positive that he would still enjoy the family flick just like he did when he was younger.

In this film, Con artists plan to fleece the eccentric family using an accomplice who claims to be their long-lost Uncle Fester.

Annie (1982)

Honestly, I remember watching the original Annie film in 1982 when the flick was first released. This family film has a great heartwarming storyline coupled with some amazing songs threaded throughout. When Annie who is an orphan has an adventure whilst finding a family that will accept her as their own

Mary Poppins (original)

I remember when watching Mary Poppins with my grandfather when I was a child. Even now when I attempt to get my kids to take any medication I sing the line “That… a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down The medicine go do–own”. I am singing the line as I type this article.

Your kids will be engrossed in this film about a magical nanny who comes to work for a cold banker’s unhappy family.

I personally prefer this original to the new film but both would be a great choice for your family movie night.

Alright, this next family film on prime will probably keep you going for a few weeks Back to the Future.

When I say this will film will keep your movie nights full for a few weeks, I mean no one will want to miss the parts two and three of the trilogy.

I have watched this movie with all of my children and no one of them has disliked it.

Marty McFly, a 17-year-old high school student, is accidentally sent 30 years into the past in a time-travelling DeLorean invented by his close friend, the maverick scientist Doc Brown.

Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory (1971)

We love a good film about underdogs winning that’s why we love Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 1971. Charlie receives a golden ticket to a factory, his sweet tooth wants going into the lushing candy, it turns out there’s an adventure in everything.

Karate Kid (The Original)

This film literally made me want to start Karate. I remember racing home after seeing the trailers for this film with the VHS and watching The original Karate Kid film.

Wax on, wax off. The famous line by the wonderful Mr Miyagi. A martial arts master agrees to teach karate to a bullied teenager and the results are superb. A definite must-watch on amazon prime.
