This remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was very popular when it came out, and has sadly been forgotten in the wide spectrum of family movies. Showing this movie to your kids would be a great way to introduce them to older movies.
The story line is basically the same as the original, but the magic of the movie has completely been redone. And while you’re at it, watch both!

13. Coraline
Coraline (2009) Official Trailer - Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher Movie HD
For fans of Jack Skellington, Coraline might be just the fix you need to tide you over until it’s time to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas. Based on the best-selling book by Neil Gaiman, Coraline becomes bored after moving into a new home until she finds a secret door that leads her into a bizarre and disconcertingly better version of her own world.
Common Sense Media recommends it only for children over the age of 9, but parents might find the idea creepier than their kids do.

Just a whole lot of fun for the whole family, this comedy romp from 1997 features over-the-top sci-fi movie tropes and lots of laughs. Some of the aliens might be a bit scary for littler kids, but most kids over the age of 9 or 10 will love it.
Starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and based on a much scarier comic, MIB tells the story of two federal agents fighting to save Earth against alien forces.
