One of our favorite things to do Sunday evening is have ‘Family Movie Night’ and watch a clean family movie. It’s a fun little tradition, that comes complete with popcorn and those cheap, chewy, box-mix brownies. Yum! In the past, we’ve watched plenty of total duds. Movies that literally stunk, or movies we THOUGHT we remember being family-friendly when we were younger, only to find out we were completely wrong. Blah.
Anyway, I recently asked y’all on Facebook to share with me some of your favorite clean family movies. With your suggestions, some of mine, and a little research…I think I came up with a pretty good list of movies to refer to for our Family Movie Night. I’m excited! (When you’re done checking these out, hop on over to a list of even more movies to watch with kids: Over 100 Family Movie Ideas)
100 Clean Family Movies for Family Night
(Note: I haven’t seen all these movies. They are based on clean family movie suggestions and research. If you feel like one of them is a bad pick for kids, feel free to KINDLY share your insight, and any movies that you do love for families. Also, some of these movies are more appropriate (or easy to understand) for older kids. I’m trying to offer options beyond just Disney movies! So, weigh your choices on the age of your kids. I wanted a good mix so you could choose based on your family.)
