Great family movies

[Patricia]

I have been meaning to come in here for days and tell you about 2 great DVD's we watched on the weekend.

The first one was Nanny McPhee which starred Emma Thompson and Colin Firth and the other was The March of the Penguins, which had commentary by Morgan Freeman (could listen to that man talk all day!).

Both of the movies were very enjoyable but in different ways. Nanny McPhee was a real feel good movie while the Penguins was really a documentary but one that would appeal to every one...even really young children.

I could really reccomend them both for a great family movie night.

If you have seen them please tell me if you enjoyed them as much as me?

We have seen Nanny McPhee & loved it. Have been looking at the Penguin one on Foxtel but not decided to watch it yet. May have to check it out over the weekend.

Oh we watched March of the Penguins on Foxtel BO last weekend, I loved it, so beautiful (I cried a lot too, stoopid pregnancy hormones ... but I cry in the Simpsons at the moment too :roll:). Morgan Freeman has a really great narration voice doesn't he ;)

Haven't seen Nanny McPhee yet.

[Patricia]

I am glad others have been enjoying them too.

Naomi did Hugo enjoy the penguins?

[Naomi]

we actually put it on after he was in bed ... but after I'd seen it I thought he would have enjoyed it too. He loves the penguins at the Aquarium so he'd love to watch a movie of them. Might get it on DVD for him to watch.

[Patricia]

I think he would too. Mum took 2 of my little nieces and they actually sat still and watched the whole thing..a miracle in itself really :P

March of the Penguins was actually the first movie we took Kieren to in a theatre. We all really enjoyed it and bought the DVD as soon as it came out.

We also really liked Nanny McPhee. I do not like how they call it "The New Mary Poppins" It even says that on the DVD. But we have watched it several times.. we all enjoy it too.

March of the Penguins is one of my favourite movies. Couldn't you just curl up next to Morgan Freeman when he speaks :d: .
Don't worry I cried too when I watched it and I'm not even pregnant.LMAO

[Patricia]

We saw a couple more good ones this weekend...

Millions ..a little bit odd but still enjoyable

Finding Winn Dixie...really really enjoyed this one ...probably because it had animals in it :P

[Barbara]

We've got March of the Penguins here on DVD but I haven't had a chance to sit down and actually watch it. Might do it Sunday morning before work - or even on Friday while I'm here by myself. Have heard so many good things about it :)

[Mad Old Cow]

i loved it Barb but, as i get emotional in any animal show (sad or not ) i did have a little tear
we have got the movie here to watch about the Huskies in the snow (can't think of the name) but i won't watch it because i know it will upset me

[Patricia]

The dogs in the snow is called 8 Below Di...we enjoyed that one too :)

[GINAinLA]

There is also Snow Dogs, that has Huskies init.. I dont think it is sad though.

[Rachel]

Oh cool, I have seen March of the Penguins advertised on Foxtel and have wondered about it too.. I think I will watch it on the weekend now.. I agree that Morgan Freeman has an awesome voice.. But that man is a genius I reckon!

[Stormy]

Snow Dogs is funny most of the way through...if that's the one with Cuba Gooding Jr in it.

I loved March of the Penguins too....8 and Below made me cry but I still loved it especially at the end...well I won't say what happens because it would ruin it for those who have not seen it yet but it is extremely heart-warming. :yes: Think I will buy it on DVD for Christmas.
