School of Rock
Still one of Jack Black’s best and most iconic roles (take that Jumanji), School of Rock helped introduce a whole generation to the joy and freedom of rock and roll. Whilst posing as a substitute teacher to make money, failing guitarist Dewey Finn forms a band with his students to compete in Battle of the Bands.
Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio
Featuring an incredible cast and gorgeous stop-motion animation, Guillermo Del Toro’s take on Carlo Collodi’s classic tale is nothing short of breathtaking. If that’s not enough praise, the film went on to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.
Jumanji
A true Robin Williams classic. After being trapped inside a mystical board game for well over 20 years, Alan Parrish must help two young children complete the magical board game before the perils of the jungle consume their home town.
The Sea Beast
An Academy Award nominee, The Sea Beast is a story of exploration and freedom. When young Maisie Brumble joins the ship of the legendary monster hunter Jacob Holland, she finds herself on an epic quest to capture the most dangerous creature in the sea.
Despicable Me
The film that started one of the most irritating trends of the 2010s and 20s, Despicable Me still holds up as a hilarious, and heart-filled tale of villainy, family, and redemption as wannabe supervillain Gru finds family amidst his epic mission to steal the moon.
Hilda and the Mountain King
When Hilda mysteriously awakens in the body of a troll (no not those Trolls), she must use her courage and wits to become human again and return home to save the city of Trolberg.

If your kids have never seen Chicken Run, can you even call yourselves good parents?
