Finding movies your boys will love

Our Netflix Queue is full, at last glance there were over 150 movies and I believe maybe three were for Mom and Dad. Sometimes it can be difficult as parents to figure out if the movie you are about to put on for movie night will be a hit or if the kids will start wrestling and playing around as soon as the popcorn's gone. Rather than try to put together another top 100 list I decided to provide the resources and let you decide.
