Family-friendly movies

Earlier this summer, PluggedIn asked their Facebook followers to share which movies their families enjoyed. I haven't found the official list anywhere, but S-M-R-T me, I wrote it down :) We all have different ideas of what is family-friendly, and I've got pretty "conservative" standards. I'll include some of PluggedIn's list, and add some of our favourites. PluggedIn is a phenomenal resource for movies, TV, cd's, etc. And yes, there IS an app for that!

To define "family", I'm thinking of the 5-12 age group. I'll continue to update this list.

Movies we enjoy:
Sound of Music
Mary Poppins
The Croods
Cars
Swiss Family Robinson
Nim's Island
Meet the Robinsons
How To Train a Dragon
The Chronicles of Narnia
Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Narnia: Prince Caspian
Bella (sensitive content, deals with abortion and adoption in a great way!)
Akeelah and The Bee (contains a bit of language)
Evan Almighty
Despicable Me
Nanny McPhee, 1 and 2
Monsters Inc. 
The Bee Movie
Anne of Green Gables series
Soul Surfer
The Odd Life of Timothy Green
Annie
Facing The Giants
Bolt
Up
Ratatouille
Wall-E
Over The Hedge
Old Yeller
Flicka (kid-friendly but there was a rather unnecessary comment from Tim McGraw's character to his movie-wife, "Last one back gets naked first!")
Hachi 
Free Birds
Walking On Water; Two Surfers. One Dream. Finding Faith on the Journey of a Lifetime. (Documentary)

For older kids (teens):
Firelight (a Hallmark movie, takes place in prison). Theme: taking responsibility 
7 Days In Utopia
Crossroads; A Story of Forgiveness (Hallmark movie)
Happy People; A Year in The Taiga (you must be comfortable with the idea of hunting for this movie)
Hugo (thoroughly reviewed at PluggedIn online)

You'd think, but for us, not so much:
Sister Act: language and graphic content (man gets shot, which is shown in a way that isn't gory but definitely not family-friendly)

Return to Nim's Island: there are very few concerns about this movie so it's unfortunate they needed to put in two fairly long scenes where a man is trying to kill Nim! In one scene he threatens her with a knife and in another scene he tries to drop rocks on her head while she's in a confined space... My girls would have been upset to watch it.

Bruce Almighty: contains a pretty spicy bedroom scene, language issues, a monkey climbs out of someone's rear end...

Shiloh: there are a few instances of a character being violent to a dog (hitting and kicking it), two dogs get in a fight which my girls found upsetting, and there's a traditional slant in the movie where a man's word is final but in a way that doesn't seem to leave much room to hear from the wife or kids. I was also very concerned that the main kid in the story says he realizes he may end up with a bullet in his head due to the ownership dispute over the dog. I'm surprised PluggedIn reviewed it so favourably!   

Mrs. Doubtfire: some of these older videos don't show up on PluggedIn. What took me by surprise in this movie was the father/son discussion about the 12-year-old-son's birthday gift. Kid asks if it's a stripper, father says no, son asks if it's two strippers. The father seems proud?? I'm also surprised to hear "what the h*ll" and "g--d---".
