I'm with you on this. All my friends seem to love kids movies. For me they are fine to watch with my kid, but I would never want to watch them alone. They are just watered down versions of movies with very tame themes and jokes meant to appeal to both children and sometimes adults. I just can't fathom how you could get really into them. The latest Star Wars and Avengers are basically becoming kids movies as well and I just find them insanely boring. They don't need to be dark but I much prefer when they are written for an adult audience and have complex themes.

I don't agree that they got better. They progressively lost that rawness and authenticity of the first movie.

My two choices are either

The Fountain. Beautifully shot and while the story of a man learning to accept the death of a loved one might be obvious, a funeral isn't really the place for subtlety.

Fantastic Mr Fox. One of my personal favorites and the it's the type of humor my family enjoys. I like the idea of being sent off after laughing together one more time.
