8 Movies That Are Perfect For Movie Night With The Family

Almost every one of us has had that awkward moment as a kid when a cuss word was hurled, or someone started making out on the screen, while we’d be watching something with our parents. Nobody – not even the grownups – would know what to do, and all of us would be collectively scarred for the rest of our lives by a fictional character. As an adult, things are different, but no matter how chill you may be with your folks, do you really want to be watching the likes of Sacred Games over the next movie night with the fam? Yeah, we didn’t think so. This is why we’ve drawn up a list of the best family movies you should stock up. Thank us later!

6. The Incredibles 2

Here’s a family out to save each other, and the world! A family with superpowers, no less. Although the movie has some sexist undertones that we could’ve totally done without, it’s still a good watch.

Don’t focus on the details. Focus on the bigger picture, and you’ll realise that this is the story of a family caught in an inter-generational conflict. Which, at some level, is every family ever!
