Space Jam: A New Legacy
When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.'s digitized champions on the court. It's Tunes versus Goons in the highest-stakes challenge of his life.
What to know before choosing
Watching as a family is the hardest case of all, because very different attention spans have to be satisfied at once. The criterion that works is not "what age" but "how long before the youngest checks out". This list sorts on popularity rather than rating: a film everyone already knows has passed that test in thousands of living rooms.
Past two and a half hours a film no longer asks for an evening but for a commitment: you do not put it on in the background, you do not start it at midnight, and interrupting it wastes half of it. What these films give back is the one thing a short running time cannot — the time to become attached. The best-rated films in the catalogue are overwhelmingly of this length, and that is no accident: audiences forgive longueurs to a film that took them somewhere. Check the clock before you start.
