One of my favorite memories I hope my kids always keep with them are our family movie nights.
I adore the four of us with a mound of blanket and pillows on the living room floor, the coffee table pushed out of the way, snacking on popcorn and learning about life through film.
Also check out my list of life-changing documentaries to watch with your kids.
These movies listed here are all ones that will teach lessons and help our kids see the world through others eyes. These are must-see movies to watch with your kids before they grow up!
If you can’t find these on Netflix or on television, many of these are totally free on Amazon Prime Video!
