We love family movie nights, and snuggling up together to watch our favorite movies. Valentine’s Day is coming up in a few weeks, and a family movie night is a perfect way to celebrate together! I’m sharing a list of our favorite Valentine’s Day movies that are great for families. So…grab your cozy blankets, make some Pink Hot Chocolate, and get ready for an evening of Valentine’s Day movie fun!
Most of them are rated G, and a few are rated PG. Common Sense Media is a resource that I’ve used to check movies for more rating information.
The Love Bug 
The original version is definitely my favorite, and the one we watch. I have loved it since I was little!
The Parent Trap
Okay, this is probably one of my favorite movies of all time! Once again, I prefer the original version–I just love Maureen O’Hara, and Hayley Mills is adorable. I think I actually have parts of it memorized. :)
Lady and the Tramp 
The spaghetti scene? Yep–one of the sweetest Disney movie moments ever!
In the Good Old Summertime
Judy Garland stars in this fun musical, and it’s charming the whole way through!
The Happiest Millionaire
We always called this the “alligator” movie. Curious now? It stars Fred MacMurray, and it’s SO SO fun!
Enchanted 
Modern day meets fairy tale…
The Princess Bride
Is there anything I really need to say about this movie? :)
Up 
I just love this movie, and I think it’s one of the sweetest love stories. In fact, I cry every time I watch it.
The Wizard of Oz
The Tin Man searching for a heart makes Valentine’s Day a great time to watch this award-winning film, and introduce it to your kids!
Summer Magic
Hayley Mills stars in this Disney musical, and it’s another one of my childhood favorites. An oldy, but a a goody!
Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken
This is a coming-of-age story of a girl and her horse during the Great Depression, and about pursuing your dreams.
Beauty and the Beast, rated G
Classic Disney cartoon and love story!
Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Valentines Collection
I had to add this one in, because my kids love Alvin & the Chipmunks cartoons! It’s a fun, silly Valentine’s movie!
Wall-E 
A curious and lovable robot falls in love!
Happy Heart Day!

Love and sweet Blessings

Feb 8, 2013 at 8:12 amDo you have cinnamon bears? You could chop them up and add them. What about hard cinnamon candies? You could crunch them up in a bag with a rolling pin, and add them.

Jan 13, 2015 at 10:17 pmWhat a great list!!! My girls are 3 and 5, so they are the perfect age for me to introduce most of these to. And I love Summer Magic – for Hayley Mills and Burl Ives!
