In my pursuit of finding good family movies for this upcoming holiday season, I thought it would be a great idea to have a list of good family actions movies. The following movies are suitable for a younger crowd. They won’t have nightmares after. They were picked by my 8-year-old daughter who loves watching action movies. They are even teen approved. My 14-year-old son loves them. It’s not easy to find movies that interest an 8-year-old and a 14-year-old at the same time. The following movie list will sure do.
Good Family Movies from the 90’s

Which of these good family actions movies did you watch? Which one is your favorite?
we love all those movies. I think Goonies is the only ne our kids haven’t seen yet.
The Goonies was such a classic and so worth watching again and again. In fact, I may do that this weekend!
I am such a movie person. Literally my weekends consist of my blanket, my couch, and movies. Some of the titles mentioned I haven’t yet seen so I will add them to my list! Thanks for sharing.
The Goonies is one of my all time favorite movies! Great choices you have here.
Ben Stiller is very funny – no matter what kind of movie he’s in :D
Great movies… my favorite from the bunch would have to be Goonies… “hey you guys”!
I love “How to train your dragon”! It’s one of my favorite animated films. The story is so touching and the animation is so nice on the eyes.
