Perhaps you're like us. You've subscribed to Netflix, you have the ability to instantly stream all kinds of movies and TV shows but you want to be careful about what you watch. You may have children and you're discerning about what they see and hear. Sure, you've put in your preferences into the Netflix website, but still they often suggest inappropriate movies or simply miss the mark of what you're really looking for. Here at Family Friendly Netflix it is our mission to recommend to you wholesome, enjoyable entertainment available on Netflix. Primarily we will be recommending instantly stream-able movies or TV shows that meet this criteria. Some of our "All Time Favorites" (see page below) however, are only available on DVD.
If that sounds like you, then get yourself some pizza and coke and gather the family together for an enjoyable and safe movie night using the following suggestions. By the way, our children are 14 and 17 years old now. If you have very small children some of these picks may not be your first choice.

Couple of New Suggestions

Here are a couple of new suggestions for your film night this week.  Again, these may be better suited for families with teenagers rather than toddlers.

Apollo 13 (PG, 1995)
We especially like to watch movies that are not only entertaining but have some historic or redeeming value.  Apollo 13 chronicles the 1971 Apollo moon mission.  It stars Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell.  The movie is packed with tense scenes of quick thinking and genuine heroism.  Hope you enjoy!

The Cross and the Switchblade (PG, 1970)
Warning:  This film, although rated PG, does show the raw side of life in NY city street gangs.  The message is unmistakable: no matter how badly we have messed up our lives, God's grace is available to all who will receive it in Jesus Christ.  I saw this movie as a kid and it holds a special place in my memory and heart.  Praise God for those who have the courage and boldness to minister to the most needy in the world.
