On weekends, vacations and holidays, cinema is always an entertainment much appreciated by young and old.
Then we will see some good options of movies to watch as a family.
Coco by Lee Unkirch (2017)
One of the most celebrated titles of 2017. A film that portrays the noble vision of death in Mexican culture. Family, friendship, loyalty, love and forgiveness are some of the topics also exposed in this story, in a very entertaining way.
The Wizard of Oz, by Victor Fleming (1939)
In addition to being a movie to watch as a family, it is one of the most important cinematographic works in the history of the Seventh Art. Based on the children's story The Wonderful Wizard of Ozby L. Frank Baum. An adaptation quite close to the original source.
Spy kids, by Robert Rodríguez (2001)
A spy film designed especially for children. Robert Rodríguez, director of Mexican origin who achieved international fame with El Mariachi, built a story full of childish elements, but capable of holding adult audiences captive.
Highlights a cast led by Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino. In addition to the appearances of Danny Trejo, Teri Hatcher, Robert Patrick, Alan Cumming, Richard Linklater, Tony Shalhoub and George Clooney.
Home Alone by Chris Columbus (1990)
Since it was released in the early 1990s, it became in a family movie and a true Christmas classic. It launched its director and protagonist: Macaulay Culkin to stardom.
The face of Catherine O'Hara, when on board an MD-11 over the Atlantic remembers that she left her son Kevin forgotten in Chicago, is still valid today. Even among young people who have not seen this tape.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Tim Burton (2005)
While many prefer the version starring Gene Wilder in 1971, the Tim Burton's version was more entertaining. Amen to also be much more successful.
Highlights within this rather familiar film, an art direction that borders on psychedelia and the soundtrack composed by Danny Elfman. At the acting level, Freddie Highmore received only praise for his portrayal of little Charlie Bucket, while Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka left audiences divided.
Zathura, a space adventure. By Jon Favreau (2005)
Although there are those who classify it as a spatial version of Jumanji, for much of the audience it was a more pleasant experience than the film starring Robin Williams in 1995.
At the time it was a major economic failure. However, with the passing of time, It has become one of those movies to watch as a family every time they show it on TV.
Journey to the Center of the Earth, by Eric Brevig (2008)
A somewhat "light" version of the literary classic written by Jules Verne. It stood out for its special effects, just as the great wave of 3D movies began. They starred Brendan Fraser and John Hutcherson.
Bridge to Terabithia, by Gábor Csupó (2007)
John Hutcherson has starred in several movies to watch as a family. (In addition to Journey to the Center of the Earth, also worked on Zhatura, next to Kristen Stewart).

As she prepares to face motherhood alone, she falls in love with a taxi driver, who is also willing to raise the baby as his own. The biological father returns repentant, so the intrepid protagonist must decide between the comfort of money and her true love.
Mr. Popper's Penguins by Mark Watters (2011)
It is not a movie classic far from it. It is one of those Sunday titles to watch on TV, a nice family movie.
Jim Carrey plays Thomas "Tom" Popper, a successful divorced real estate broker, struggling to keep his relationship with his two teenage sons on track. But everything changes when he inherits six penguins, who will help him regain the attention of his family.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, by Chris Columbus (2001)
The first of the films in the series with the most famous magician in the world it is also the most naive and childish. As the character got older, their stories got darker and their tapes less familiar.
Superheroes: characters that can not be missing in the movies to see as a family
All the hero ribbons with super powers, noble men, women and children willing to give their lives to save the world, are trendy. Although there are titles not suitable for all audiences such as Logan, Dead Pool or the versions of Batman directed by Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan, they are also characters that star in movies to see as a family.
Spiderman: Homecoming, by Jon Watts (2017)
The most recent appearance of Spider-Man and His Alter-ego Peter Parker on the big screen came as a pleasant surprise in many ways. Fun and familiar, without falling into too childish or too Machiavellian territories. Children, youth and adults were satisfied.
The Incredibles, by Brad Bird (2004)
A family of "super", in a world where these extraordinary beings must remain hidden.
After all, men and women who dress up to save the world suffer from the same problems as ordinary people; boredom, stagnant marriages, job frustration. They also gain weight and have teenage children with a crisis of identity and self-esteem.
Ant-Man: Ant-Man, by Peyton Reed (2015)
While it is not a title to watch with young children, it is a tape that teenagers can enjoy with their parents without inconvenience.
Particularly fun, but full of a sense of humor that, in addition to being practical, is very intelligent. Very far from the basic jokes and at times unnecessary of another superhero film: Thor Ragnarok.
