We are now back to school and getting into our fall schedules. One thing I like to try to do is have a family night. We like to mix it up and sometimes have a game night and sometimes have a pizza and a movie night. I love that you can sit down in front of Netflix and find something to watch for the whole family. 
About two weeks ago we had a pizza and a movie night with Netflix. I didn’t make your typical pizza, though, I made a grain free pizza. It was GOOD! My husband said it was like eating the top of a lasagna. My kids have told me that the next time I make it, I need to make two, because one tray was not enough for everyone.
The movie we watched was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. The kids had seen it, but my husband and I hadn’t. I think that those movies are so clever. I love the names they came up with for the food animals in this one. Here are some other ideas for a younger kids movie night:
1. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2
2. The Pirate Fairy
3. Hoodwinked
4. Angelina Ballerina
5. Bob the Builder
6. The Muppet Movie
For your older kids you can watch some of these movies. (I’m not a fan of the Smurfs movies even though I wanted to be. I think they are definitely for older kids!
1. Strange Hill High
2. The Avengers
3. The Smurfs 2
4. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
5. Free Birds
6. Mako Mermaids: An H2O Adventure
Finally, here are some shows and movies for teens and adults. I hate to admit it, but the Vampire Diaries is one of my favorite tv shows. I also loved Clueless and Ferris Bueller’s Day off (which my husband has never seen!)
1. Clueless
2. The Breakfast Club
3. Friday Night Lights
4. The Vampire Diaries
5. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
6. 13 Going on 30
Do you have any kind of scheduled family time each week? Ours is never on the same night thanks to sports and scouts, but I do enjoy those nights when we just spend time together.
That is so cool everyone liked the pizza. It IS good and honestly the best tasting I have found for a grain & gluten free crust you make at home.
How has your husband never seen Ferris? You must correct that!
We love having homemade pizza while we watch movies, too! It’s a great way to kill two birds with one stone.
I have been a fan of Netflix for many years. There is nothing better than a relaxing night of pizza and a movie after a hard day’s work.
I love Netflix, we watch it all the time. Right now I’m hooked on re-watching old 80s movies. They are the best! 😉
We watch Netflix nightly, now if only I could justify pizza as often! I haven’t seen The Breakfast Club in forever, it’s quite overdue!
We just watched Pirate Fairy last week on Netflix! Love that they have so many great options for kids.
I am totally feeling a lazy movie day myself! This pizza would totally do!
We cancelled our cable and now only have Netflix. It was a pretty great decision because we mostly watch movies anyway! Netflix has something for the whole family.
So funny, we actually just had a pizza and Netlix movie night a few nights ago! We enjoyed the Original Doctor Who tv series on Netflix. My kid’s picked. And they loved it. lol.
We used to have a movie night when the kids were younger. Now, it’s every now and then. It’s sad when your kids grow up and traditions have to change.
The Breakfast Club and pizza sounds like a perfect night to me. There’s really nothing more fun than hanging out and watching a great movie with your spouse.
When I heard your husband’s comment about the pizza tasting like lasagna, I immediately followed the link to your recipe. Honestly, I’d love to eat this pizza and watch the entire Star Wars series. The animation is great.
Pizza and a movie what a great way to spend family time.I love home made pizza. We always top ours with lots of veggies.
We love Netflix. There is always something to watch.
Thanks for sharing. LOVE netflix!
We love pizza night at our house, it usually also includes game night with movies too! And Netflix is always awesome for a huge selection of movies.
