We don’t go to the movies much at all. We rent them every once in a while, especially when our Blockbuster has special deals and we can rent movies for 10 pesos each (about 75 cents).
In 2011, I’m not really sure how many movies we watched. I know I took Nathan a few times, and I know we spent some nights in watching a movie we rented. Our kids love popping popcorn and hanging out in front of the TV (even though we don’t do it often).
So here’s our family’s list of top 5 movies we watched this year.
- The Muppets – we just saw this one in the theater, and it was great to relive some childhood memories and share them with our kids.
- Gnomeo and Juliet – for a while Nathan said this was his favorite movie
ever.
- Kung Fu Panda 2
– This movie was fun. I think the new TV series helped us like it even more.
- The Smurfs – We had to wait to watch this one until it came out on DVD
because we couldn’t find it in English anywhere in Mexico City.
- Mr. Popper’s Penguins – The book that this movie is (loosely) based on was part of our curriculum this year. We had to go see the movie
in the theater.

PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT: If you like watching movies, or if you just realize there’s nothing good on TV now, you should check out Netflix. Janell has a post on Saving You Dinero about how you can sign up and get a 30 day free trial of Netflix.
