Family film
A family film is a film genre that is designed to appeal to a variety of age groups and, thus, families.
In December 2005, Steven Spielberg's 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial came first in a poll of the 100 Greatest Family Films.[1] The genre today generates billions of dollars per annum.[2]
Family films generally do not contain content that would be deemed unsuitable for children. Films such as Dr. Dolittle and Big Momma's House 2 received ratings of PG-13, which does not distinguish between children's films and family films.
Some examples of family film series include:
