It is difficult to imagine a person who has never in his life watched any film with his family. Therefore, each of us has our favorite interesting films for the whole family. Everyone has his own list. Therefore, we will try to put together the best tapes from those that definitely deserve the title of "most interesting films for the whole family."
Making a choice is always difficult
How rare the whole family comes together at our frantic pace of life! Work, study, lessons, household chores take up most of our time, leaving very little to rest and chat with family. The weather outside the window does not always allow the whole family to go out for a walk or a picnic, so often the general leisure gathers all the relatives at home. The question arises, what to do so dear, but so different people, and even so that everyone was interested. Most often, the choice falls on the joint viewing of some fascinating film. But how to choose it? The father of the family would love to watch an exciting action movie, and perhaps his son would support him, or maybe he would like to watch a cool movie about racing. Moms are very fond of drama, and daughters, for example, comedies. It is difficult to decide, because joint leisure in the form of watching a good film carries a unifying function. This is probably why the genre of family cinema appeared, because interesting films for the whole family are shot just for such cases. But how to choose from such a variety? Let's try to organize the search.
Good old Soviet cinema
Previously, the Union made excellent films, we will not be afraid of the word, masterpieces of cinematic art. These are legendary films on which more than one generation has grown. And modern children and adolescents are all the more worth watching it to understand that a film can be great without cool special effects, a million dollar budget and Hollywood. It is an indisputable fact that the most interesting films for the whole family are comedies. It's great when the humor is high-quality, and the jokes are not flat and vulgar, and the whole family laughs in front of the screen. The outstanding Soviet director Leonid Gaidai made such eternal comedies as Operation Y and Shurik's Other Adventures, Caucasian Captive, Diamond Arm, and Ivan Vasilyevich Changes the Profession. The younger generation will be interested in plunging into the atmosphere of the past, and parents will be nostalgic. And such magical tapes as Carnival Night, Sorcerers, or Irony of Fate, Or Enjoy Your Bath, are worth a look in the cold season, wrapping your whole family in rugs and drinking tea with something tasty.
Good old foreign cinema. Masterpieces of the 80s.
Not only our people were able to shoot. In the 80s, Hollywood made very worthy and interesting films for the whole family. For example, a film with the young Tom Hanks “Big” about a boy whose wish was fulfilled, and he woke up as an adult, but only outwardly, but the consciousness remained thirteen. His story will not leave indifferent any member of the family. A great kind comedy for any age. Algorithm of high-quality family cinema - funny and fantastic adventures. The eighties gave us “Back to the Future” (1 and 2), the fact that the hero falls into 2015 is especially interesting. The whole family will look great for a comparison with modern realities. The cheerful motive from Ghostbusters will now be hummed by your children, it’s very sticky. Separately, it is worth recalling the very moving “Endless Story”, the incredible adventures of little Bastian will be to the liking of every member of the family.
Rich 90s
We are very fond of those years for a galaxy of beautiful and fascinating films of various genres. It was then that they shot interesting films for the whole family in large numbers. A favorite of several generations, Macaulay Culkin became a young star thanks to the films Home Alone and Rich Ricci. These are easy, interesting, kind films for the whole family, which can be watched as much as you like. Robin Williams, reincarnated as a woman in Miss Doutfire, will surely make you laugh until you drop. A very emotional film about a father who will do anything to be with his family. This talented actor also presented us with two fascinating fantastic films of the 90s: “Jumanji” and “200 Year Old Man”. Very instructive and interesting films for the whole family. Our list continues with Beethoven. A beautiful story about a dog - a favorite of the family, which gives its household a lot of trouble, but at the same time protects its own and gives the villains a lot of problems. The most interesting films for the whole family are Jim Carrey's comedies Ace Ventura and Mr. Popper Penguins. Pets and not so pets are one of the favorite images in family cinema. No less strongly in the 90s, they loved the Olsen twins and their incredible adventures in Two: Me and My Shadow, Dad with a Poster, and Passport to Paris. But the most colorful tape of the 90s remains, perhaps, the “Adams Family”. An unusual family won the love of viewers around the world, despite strange habits and a peculiar way of life, as well as gloomy humor, because the love and support of relatives for Adams is in the first place.
The whole family in the new millennium
The Millennium brought with it many new trends and excellent films for viewing together with relatives and friends. In the new century, cinema is distinguished by the fact that all successful films are continued. For example, “The Spy Kids” by Robert Rodriguez (all three parts) - interesting adventure films for the whole family, a good plot, special effects, great actors and dizzying spy adventures with humor are very fond of audiences of all ages. It is also worth noting “Night at the Museum” as an excellent movie for family viewing. All the elements are available: this is science fiction, comedy, and the exciting adventures of comedian Ben Steller as a night guard in the Natural History Museum. Well, very informative! I would also like to highlight a good and sincere family film, Lemony Snicket: thirty-three misfortunes. It is about three orphans who fell under the care of the evil Earl Olaf performed by Jim Carrey. An excellent choice for family viewing, although it has no sequel. Like the decent and unusual film Stardust, it is simply a must-see for the whole family. A good fairy tale with an interesting plot will make you laugh and be sad and think. Impressions of viewing are guaranteed. The most interesting fantasy films for the whole family are, without a doubt, the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Perhaps they do not quite fit into the framework of family cinema, but these films are loved by viewers of all ages. Epic battles, interesting characters embodied by great actors, amazing special effects will surely bring all your family members to the screen.
Franchises, or When there are more than three
Such films are enough for a few views on vacation or on vacation, for example. You can arrange a whole week of family evenings with a movie or, conversely, choose one day of the week, for example, every Sunday. This year, the long-awaited fourth part of the “Chronicles of Narnia” is released, despite the fact that they were shot based on children's fantasy books, fairy tales, adults also love the magical world of Narnia, because the films are made very high quality. Their adventures are also very exciting, because every adult in the shower is still a little child. But perhaps the most interesting adventure films for the whole family are Pirates of the Caribbean (all parts). The extravagant and inimitable captain Jack Sparrow performed by Joni Depp has already become a cult character, and films are one of the highest grossing in history. It’s hard to find someone who hasn’t watched at least one movie from this franchise, but they are really cool and worth the effort to review them. And of course, the longest saga, the most beloved story about a wizard boy, conquered millions of hearts around the world - “Harry Potter”. All eight films are about incredible adventures, about friendship and betrayal, about loyalty and revenge, about courage and honor, but about everything, perhaps. Everyone will find in this story something personal for themselves.
Very fresh
Over the past five years, many good creations of cinema have come out, which all households will enjoy watching. It is worth recommending both parts of Percy Jackson - a fairly successful movie with good special effects, an unbroken plot and important issues in parent-child relationships. The production of the fairy tale “Alice in Wonderland” from the shocking Tim Burton is also very peculiar . It will be interesting to all viewers, from small to large. Everyone in childhood watched the old American cartoon Sleeping Beauty and sincerely did not like the evil sorceress, but the Malificent will tell the story of the evil sorceress, and why she became so. A beautiful, entertaining and interesting film.
Who doesn't love superheroes?
Hollywood comic book adaptations are currently the most popular and most interesting films for the whole family. They make excellent blockbusters that will gather all the relatives in front of the screen, or even better, help organize a cultural campaign to the nearest movie theater. Such large-scale things are worth watching on the big screen, both children and adults will enjoy. Here is just an approximate list of pictures about superheroes that are worth seeing: Spider-Man (all adaptations), also all films about Superman, films about Batman, shot in the 90s, they are not as gloomy as The Dark Knight, X-Men ”(all parts),“ Fantastic Four ”,“ First Avenger ”,“ Hulk ”,“ Iron Man ”,“ Thor ”and“ Avengers ”.
But what about cartoons?
Perhaps it would be worthwhile to devote a separate article to animated films, since there are really a great many of them. Of course, modern cartoons have long been guided not only by the children's audience. Many wonderful animated films can be watched by the whole family. Here are just a few of them, the most famous: “Ice Age” (all parts), “Madagascar” and “Penguins of Madagascar”, “Shrek”, “How to Train Your Dragon”, “Panda Kung Fu”, “Ratatouille”, “Cars” "," Finding Nemo "," Monsters on Vacation ", as well as wonderful domestic cartoons about Russian heroes" Alyosha Popovich and Tugarin Zmey "," Dobrynya Nikitich and Zmey Gorynych "," Ilya Muromets and Nightingale the Robber. We single out the Pixar Studio’s special film, “Wall-I,” touching, instructive, funny, and kind - definitely the best choice for sharing with your family.
What about popcorn?
It is very comfortable, and convenient, to watch a movie in a warm home environment, which was released on DVD in good quality, especially great if there is a home theater. It brings together, creates a unique atmosphere. But there are such films, for example, new blockbusters in 3D, when you should get everyone together and go out, go to a good movie theater, enjoy a joint trip and watch a movie on the big screen.
