Movie Night with Pop Secret popcorn. The Top 50 Kid Movies, As Recommended By Other Moms

I’d like to thank Pop Secret for sponsoring this post.

First, everybody drag some chairs from the kitchen into the living room. Now throw a blanket over them. Do you have the perfect blanket fort? Add some pillows. Awesome! 

Next, make some popcorn- I recommend this kind– and grab a movie. 

Okay, so you have your digs and you have your snack. Now what are you going to watch while you are snowed in this weekend with kids? It can be hard to find something that will engage the whole family. You don’t want something too baby-ish for older kids or something that leaves mom and dad wanting to rip their hair out. And it would be nice, particularly when you are expecting more than 6 inches of snow, like we are right now here in Pennsylvania, to watch something that will hold the kids’ attention for more than 10 minutes. 

I took to my Facebook page this morning and asked Binkies and Briefcases readers to name their favorite movies to sit down and watch with their children, and I added some of my own. Here is an alphabetical list of movies that other mothers recommend. I caution that I have not personally seen every movie on this list. 

1. A Bug’s Life
2. Aladdin
3. Annie
