Our family has watched a whole lot of movies together, and over the years we've come up with quite a few family favorites. This is especially true as we are getting older and can collectively appreciate more films. (Well, Levi's usually in bed for movie time, but you get it.) As we have been consistently astonished that a friend here or there hasn't seen what we consider "can't-miss classics", we have decided to share the films that would be wonderful for you to go out and rent right now- or at least when nothing good seems to be out. All of these are either favorites of the entire family, or at least of several of us.
Appropriate for all (some are a bit intellectual for kids):
Ocean's 11 (1960)
Pride and Prejudice
August Rush
Chicken Little
Princess Bride
Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Sense and Sensibility (1995)
Napoleon Dynamite (only if you like dumb, pointless humor)
It's a Wonderful Life
Ever After
A Walk To Remember
Finding Nemo
Ratatouille
It Happened One Night
Little Women (1994)
The Taming of the Shrew (1967)
Philadelphia Story
My Fair Lady
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
The Thing You Do!
Bill Cosby, Himself
Hook
Nanny McPhee
Sahara
Miss Potter
Remember the Titans
PG-13 (most for violence/scary stuff):
Bourne Identity 1, 2 and 3
The Legend of Bagger Vance
I, Robot
Lord of the Rings 1, 2 and 3
Ocean's 11 (2001)
Dark Knight
Rocky (the 1st one- that's IT!)
Once
Kate and Leopold
PS I Love You
All the President's Men
Pirates of the Caribbean (the original)
Runaway Jury
Matchstick Men
Movies that can't really be fast-forwarded for censoring:
Jerry Maguire
The Breakfast Club
Hot Rod (see Napoleon Dynamite)
Good Will Hunting
Spy Game
Really, take it seriously, these are great movies. Hopefully you'll discover a gem or two...

Hey you forgot some really important ones! I'm sorry I really can't appreciate this post properly until you include Star Wars episodes 1-6, BIG Star Wars fan here ;)
But overall good post!
You forgot Kagen no Tsuki! Ok, maybe you wouldn't like it. It's weird and has to do with this girl in a coma and her boyfriend and two friends need to wake her up before she dies. It's kinda confusing when you first watch it and SORT of creepy if you aren't used to Japanese movies. Which, I am so it's nothing new to me.
But you got some ok movies going on.
