Oscar winning family movies

April 13, 2007 by GreatDad Writers Leave a Comment

Sometimes it’s hard to find a good family movie. All the following movies won the Oscar and can be enjoyed by the whole family.

 

 

Wallace & Gromit – The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (Winner 2006)
A
giant were-rabbit is on the prowl just as the annual vegetable contest is about to be held. Watch it
to find out who saves the town. This is an outstanding film to delight both young and old
alike.

 

Gigi (Winner 1958)
Leslie Caron brings to life the story of a
rich playboy and a young courtesan set in the Paris of 1899.

 

My Fair Lady (Winner 1965)
A misogynistic and snobbish phonetics
professor has a wager that he can take on a flower girl and make her presentable in high society.

 

An American in Paris (Winner 1952)
A GI stays on in Paris to
become an artist, and has to choose between the patronage of a rich American woman (Nina Foch) and a
French gamine (Leslie Caron) engaged to an older man. A rapturous musical with a breathtaking dance
sequence in the final.

 

Holiday Inn (Special Edition) (Winner 1945)
Lovely Linda Mason
has crooner Jim Hardy head over heels, but suave stepper Ted Hanover wants her for his new dance
partner after femme fatale Lila Dixon gives him the brush. The DVD includes a retrospective of
Crosby and Astaire featuring an interview with Ava Astaire-MacKenzie.

 

March of the Penguins (Widescreen Edition) (Winner 2006)
Each
winter, Emperor penguins in their thousands begin a truly remarkable journey into a bleak and
extreme region that supports no other wildlife at this time of year.

 

Oliver! (Winner 1969)
This timeless film is an adaptation from
Charles Dickens’s classic novel “Oliver Twist has memorable melodies and splendid
lyrics.

 

Mon Oncle – Criterion Collection (Winner 1959)
Slapstick prevails when Jacques
Tati’s eccentric hero Monsieur Hulot is let loose in the ultramodern house of his brother-in-law,
and in an antiseptic factory that manufactures plastic hose.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.

Spinning Out Family Stress with Michael Blair
byPaul Banas

Welcome to another episode of Great Dad Talks! This week, I sit down with life coach and former psychologist Michael Blair to explore modern tools for family harmony, emotional healing, and child development.

Michael shares the transformative power of his unique “spin” method—a tool rooted in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)—that helps kids, parents, and even whole families quickly change negative emotional patterns in just minutes. Listen in as Michael walks Paul through an anxiety-busting spin live, explains why dads’ involvement is critical to healthy families, and shares actionable tips on self-forgiveness and resilience.
