A few years ago, our family started the tradition of "Family Movie Night". Every Friday night we get pizza and watch a family friendly movie that everyone from our 7-year-old to our 14-year-old can enjoy.
We started by showing the kids movies that we grew up with and felt were "classics" that they should see. We also show them the originals of movies that are either being remade or have a sequel soon to come out. Since my husband is a film critic, he gets many movies on DVD and BluRay that we watch as a family.
This week we are watching "The Jungle Book" in anticipation of the live action movie that is being released in mid-April. We really enjoy seeing our kids enjoying these movies that hold special memories from our own childhoods.
What a great tradition! I've done the same with my niece to introduce her to movies from the past that I think are must-sees.
ReplyDeletePerfect family tradition - we always loved sharing the oldie gems with our kids and they still laugh about some of the ones we chose. Happy memories all around!
ReplyDeleteLove family traditions. They are what your kids will remember and carry on when they get older. We have family game nights on Sundays. :-)
