The original underdog story: a small-time Philadelphia boxer gets one shot at the title. It's more of a character drama than a fight film, and its heart makes it a classic. - Victorious 88% · 2010 · ages 5+

- How to Train Your Dragon 87% · 2010 · ages 5+
A Viking boy befriends the dragon he's meant to kill. It's warm and exciting, with a flying sequence that's the best part, and a lovely bond between boy and creature. - How to Train Your Dragon 2 87% · 2014 · ages 8+
A rare sequel that grows the world and deepens the characters. The flying scenes are spectacular, the dragon designs are inventive and the story gets properly emotional without losing its humour. - The Legend of Korra 87% · 2012 · ages 5+
- The Ten Commandments 87% · 1956 · ages 8+

- Sonic the Hedgehog 3 86% · 2024 · ages 5+
A big, silly, fast video game movie that's actually fun for adults as well as kids. Jim Carrey's villain steals scenes, the Shadow storyline lands, and it's the best of the Sonic films. - MacGyver 86% · 1985 · ages 8+
- Frasier 86% · 1993 · ages 8+
- iCarly 86% · 2021 · ages 5+

- The Neighborhood 86% · 2018 · ages 8+
- Top Gun 85% · 1986 · ages 9+
A glossy, cheesy and very 1980s fighter-pilot film. The flying scenes and soundtrack still work, the romance and dialogue creak, and it's more fun than good. Watch it before the sequel, which is better. - The Lego Movie 85% · 2014 · all ages
A clever, fast and sincere comedy that turns a toy commercial into a satire of conformity. The jokes come constantly and the ending has a surprising amount of heart. - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 85% · 1982 · ages 8+
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 85% · 1987 · ages 5+
- Sam & Cat 85% · 2013 · ages 5+

- The Andy Griffith Show 85% · 1960 · all ages
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 84% · 2022 · ages 7+
A bright, energetic sequel that adds Knuckles and Tails to the fun. It's good-natured and quick, with Jim Carrey enjoying himself. Kids will love it, and parents won't suffer. - The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run 84% · 2020 · ages 6+
A cheerful, fast-moving SpongeBob road movie with plenty of gags and surprising warmth. Kids will love it and adults who like the show will find enough to laugh at. - The Sandlot 84% · 1993 · Rated PG
- PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups 84% · 2018 · all ages
- Blue's Clues 84% · 1996 · all ages
- Perry Mason 84% · 1957 · ages 5+
- The Backyardigans 84% · 2004 · Rated TV-Y
- SpongeBob SquarePants 83% · 1999 · all ages
A cheerful, silly cartoon about a sponge and his friends under the sea. The early seasons are the best, with fast gags and strange charm that works on kids and adults, and it gets weaker later on. - The Boss Baby: Family Business 83% · 2021 · Rated PG
- The Hundred-Foot Journey 83% · 2014 · ages 8+
- PAW Patrol: The Movie 83% · 2021 · all ages

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 83% · 2003 · ages 5+
- Sonic the Hedgehog 82% · 2020 · ages 6+
A cheerful, quick family adventure that gets by on Ben Schwartz's voice and Jim Carrey's villain. The story is predictable, but it is warm, short and easy to enjoy with kids. - Airplane! 82% · 1980 · ages 8+
A nervous ex-pilot has to land a plane after the crew gets food poisoning. The gag rate is relentless, deadpan and silly, and a surprising number of jokes still work. - The Last Song 82% · 2010 · ages 8+
A teen romance with a father-daughter story at its centre, set on a Southern beach. It's sentimental and predictable, but earnest, and fans of Nicholas Sparks-style weepies find it comforting. Don't expect surprises. - Rugrats 82% · 1991 · all ages
- Steel Magnolias 82% · 1989 · Rated PG
- Rocket Power 82% · 1999 · Rated TV-Y7
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 81% · 1984 · ages 8+
A darker, noisier and cruder Indiana Jones film than the others, with great action set-pieces but a loud, uneven tone. Fans of the series enjoy it, but it is the weakest of the original three. - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 81% · 2023 · ages 8+
- Katy Perry: Part of Me 81% · 2012 · Rated PG
- All Grown Up! 81% · 2003 · Rated TV-Y7
- The Magic School Bus 81% · 1994 · all ages
- Galaxy Quest 80% · 1999 · ages 7+
- Hotel Transylvania 79% · 2012 · ages 6+
A zippy, silly animated comedy about Dracula guarding his daughter at a hotel for monsters. The jokes are broad and uneven, but it is bright, fast and good fun for younger children. - Clifford the Big Red Dog 79% · 2021 · all ages
- Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home 79% · 1986 · ages 8+
- Terms of Endearment 79% · 1983 · ages 8+

- Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town 78% · 1970 · all ages
- The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 77% · 2004 · all ages
SpongeBob's big-screen adventure sends him on a mission to rescue his boss. It's silly, fast and often very funny, but it's pure SpongeBob, so it only really works if you already like the show's humour. - IF 77% · 2024 · ages 8+
- Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country 77% · 1991 · ages 8+
- Swindle 77% · 2014 · all ages
