My Favorite Family Movies

There are lot of family genre movies I have enjoyed watching. I cannot list them all, but I can share the very best movies, which I watched multiple times.

I would rate "Pirates of the Caribbean" as an all-time family entertainer. I love all the three parts released so far. The movie has all the features, which people of all ages can enjoy. The hero of the movie, Johnny Depp, has lived as the character Jack Sparrow. I love watching all his mannerism throughout the movie and his dialogue delivery was so remarkable in this movie.

Next I would like to discuss the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness". This movie is about the true story of a man named Christopher Gardner. Will Smith played this character in this movie and his performance brings the character to live in front of us. I love the way Chris Gardener, who is a smart salesperson and ordinary family man, and wins over all the difficulties and struggles he faces in his life at an early age.

Finally, I would like to mention a superb animation movie from Pixar, "Finding Nemo". This movie reminds a slogan “Just Keep Swimming”. The story of this movie is about Nemo, a cute clownfish. The fish has been kidnapped from his father by an Australian dentist. The father fish along with another female fish swims all the way to Australia and encounters lot of problems and help on the way. Finally they retrieve Nemo from the dentist and bring him back home. The love between father and son has been depicted so well in this movie.
