Movies on Amazon: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

There are a few more movies for the family to check out. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is another one of those movies that comes to Amazon and then leaves just as quickly as it arrives. You’ll want to spend time watching it while you can.

You don’t need an explanation of the movie. Everyone knows that it’s about Elliot and E.T. There are phrases that you will always utter when you think of the movie.

This is perfect to watch with the kids. It’s time to open their world to this movie that made us fall in love with aliens. Didn’t we all want to be Elliot to save E.T. and get him home?

Movies on Amazon: Land Before Time

Still looking for something for the whole family? This is where IMDb TV comes into play. There are a lot of great movies to choose, but one of the best has to be the Land Before Time franchise. There are far too many movies to get through in one weekend, but you can make a month of it.

The first movie starts with a group of young dinosaurs going on a journey to help Littlefoot find his way to his grandparents. He’s just been orphaned but he has to believe that his grandparents are somewhere out there. It’s a perilous journey but he and his friends, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike all come together along the way.

This is a beautiful story of friendship and support. Each of the movies offer new life lessons for the friends, and they make it clear that the type of dinosaur they are doesn’t matter. They will always stick together.

Well, except for the Sharp Tooth trying to eat them!
