Creating this ultimate family movie list consisted in a lot of “babe, do you remember that movie that had a treasure hunt in the mansion?” (it was Candleshoe)
Since these are older movies check them out on IMDB for a full parent guide. It was the 90’s, so some may have smoking or language. Some are even rated PG-13! Ratings were a little different back then.
Browsing some movies we came across JAWS, which only has a rating of PG. However, after watching the trailer, our youngest daughter is now nervous and asking if sharks are in the lakes here….
Hope you enjoy the list and make some awesome family movie night memories!
Best Wishes,
Sara
