Family Movie - Find The Right DVD Movie Club For Your Family
By Mike Dougherty
Looking for a good online family movie club
or family movie review?
Family movies sell lots of tickets at the
box office and every year there are one or
more blockbuster movies that are family films.
But with the high price of movie tickets
and theatre concessions, watching movies on
DVD as a family movie night in the comfort
of your own home, is quickly becoming very
popular.
Online DVD Movie Clubs
Online there are a number of DVD movie
clubs that include family movies in their
rental libraries, but only a few actually
specialize in providing quality family
fare.
While other companies produce some family
pictures, none has come close to the huge
library of movies that Disney has given
us.
Walt Disney brought us Steamboat Willie
in 1928 starring Mickey Mouse and in 1973,
the Disney Studios gave us Snow White,
the first feature length animated movie.
Disney Movie Club
Online the Disney Movie Club offers their
signature classic movies, recent releases,
preschool videos, sing-a-long video and
other popular family choices.
Movie Clubs
Other online family movie clubs include
Family Pass (formerly known as Mentura)
which bills itself as "your ticket
to family entertainment." Family
Pass carries a wide selection of movies,
television programs, educational and home
school videos and spiritual fare. All
targeted at a family audience.
Edited Movies
Another popular source of movies suitable
for family viewing comes from companies
that specialize in editing movies to remove
profanity, excessive violence and more
adult situations.
Club members can rent the edited, version
of popular movies that might otherwise
be far less than family friendly.
Online clubs that edit movies include
CleanFilms, Flick's Club, Family Edited
DVDs and CleanFlix to name a few.
DVD Software Filters
A company called ClearPlay offers DVD
software that removes graphic violence,
profanity and more adult situations. Movie
filters are put together for specific
movies and ClearPlay's list continues
to grow.
Family Movie Reviews
Online is also a great place to discover
family movie review sites that help parents
when it comes to deciding which movies
to see in theatres or on DVD.
The Dove Foundation, long a family movie
advocate, provides online movie and video
reviews. And if you're out shopping for
movies or videos at your favorite store,
you can look for the Dove Foundation's
Seal of Approval (much like the "Good
Housekeeping Seal of Approval").
The Dove Foundation's seal is only awarded
to movies and videos that meet certain
family viewing standards and have been
screened and reviewed by Dove Foundation
reviewers.
Other movie reviews available online
include The Family Style Movie Guide,
Movie Mom, Screen It!, Family Cow, Grading
the Movies, Kids-In-Mind, and Ted Baehr's
MovieGuide which examines and rates movies
from a Christian value stand point.
Family Movie Night
Watching movies at home on DVD as a special
night for the entire family has become
very popular.
Why spend a small fortune taking your
family to see a movie at a theatre when
you can have quality fun time in your
own home? With a special movie night you
control the films your family sees. No
more unpleasant surprises! And you're
guaranteed the best seat in the house.
DVD Movie Club
It's easy to join an online movie club
that offers movies for the family or better
yet "specializes" in family
movies and video.
So take a look at what's on the internet
and join a family movie club. Most offer
a variety of special benefits to club
members that make online club membership
very convenient and affordable.
Then pick up some delicious popcorn and
some other treats and start the wonderful
tradition of family movie night in your
home, a tradition you and your children
will fondly remember for years to come.
And remember, some of the best and most
popular films of all time have been family
movies.
