Completely correct about Jurassic Park – even got my youngest to go ahead and read the original novel itself, which is pretty good for upper elementary, imho.
Heavyweights is so good and so under appreciated!!! I also adore Angels in the Outfield and the Parent Trap and of course Jurassic Park. I tend to be a bigger TV watcher than movies so I don't have a ton of great recs, but the time is always right for a 1995 Pride and Prejudice viewing.
Heavyweights is soooo good, I'm glad you agree! Whenever I go hiking, I tell whoever is with me, "This is a cleansing hike." There are so many quotable moments. And it has been years since I revisited the '95 version of P&P...summer might be a good time to screen again!
Right?! The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is such a gem. And I'm SO glad you reminded me of Hunt for the Wilderpeople, I've seen that one and ADORED it, but it completely slipped my memory. Hilarious and heartwarming movie...made me really want to go to New Zealand, too. I literally just rewatched the priest scene because of this comment. Gold.
Loved this list! Walter Mitty is my forever fave. Have you ever seen The Big Year with Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson? I just discovered it. It’s all about birding + adventure + friendship. So good.
Love these pics! I just showed my boys (7 and 10) The Parent Trap and they loved it! Also love The Three amigos… looking forward to adding Walter Mitty on this list since so many people love it. And I totally agree on Aloha I love love Cameron Crowe AND these actors but oh, this was the absolute worst! So bad!!!
Loved peanut butter falcon.
It's a lovely movie! Unexpectedly moving!

It's an obvious choice, but such a great one for summer!
The line about your grandpa shaming you about animals dying on Christmas had me laughing out loud. So funny. So relatable. 😆
Right?! At the time, I was so irritated by him but now it's a favorite memory hahaha

Some great picks. The secret life of Walter Mitty is one of my all time favorites. You should check out Hunt for the Wilderpeople! It’s super fun.
Yes to Hunt for Wilderpeople! My family loved it and we still quote the mean like social worker lady all the time 😆

I haven’t seen The Big Year but that premise sounds so great!
love watching It Takes Two and The Parent Trap as a double feature
I feel like I HAVE to watch Aloha now.
Proceed at your own risk ⚠️
I know Aloha is bad, but I love it anyway. It's so weird and quirky but so funny. (March of the Penguins was the first movie I ever cried at!!!!)
My kids laughed so hard at Heavyweights. A true classic!!!
Is that Fat Camp?
Good movie. Long story.
Co sign this. Aloha is one of the worst, if not THE worst, movie of all time.
Truly astonishing how bad it was. It’s impressive how terrible the script was
Sometime try “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” ! Another of the so bad it’s good movie.
“Meanwhile in Iraq” is iconic and I may adopt it
It honestly is iconic, use it boldly
As a mom, I fully support the movies in category 3, great picks.

Ahh Walter Mitty is an absolute gem! And I'm so glad someone else commented about Aloha...truly SO BAD
