    Our favourites for family escapism include Tangled, Enchanted and the most recent Muppets movie. And we all love Spirit, a much better film than you would think! School of Rock, which someone else recommended, is another one we love, and we would agree with Mr Popper's Penguins. It's not a giggly movie, but The Truman Show is good for teenagers. My daughter loved the Angus Thongs movie at that age. Oh, and Music and Lyrics (a Hugh Grant film) is another film that is surprisingly good.

    Love love LOVE labyrinth :D best film ever!

    My girls are doing stories from imaginary worlds at school and they watched labyrinth in class last week :) (the other groups watched neverending story and the water babies) this is year 4 and they've loved it.

    DD1 (10) loves harry potter, despicable me, cloudy with a chance of meatballs etc. She also likes the Addams family.

    Ahhh Willow! I forgot about that!

    It's really good for a condensed version of LotR that substitutes a baby for a ring...and Val Kilmer looks well fit in it!

    My daughter wouldn't watch Labyrinth, she was scared witless, even the bit she watched gave her nightmares ! She was 11 at the time. I love it though.

    Our favourite film is Despicable me. Followed closely by Marley and Me. I cried at both but then i'm a bit soft.

    Recently been to see Wreckit Ralph, i cried at that too :) but it's really good.

    What about romantic comedies like:

    You've Got Mail
    Sleepless in Seattle
    While You Were Sleeping
    Sabrina

    All these are PG too!
