Attention all gransnetters, we're giving away a fabulous set of DVDs worth £199.42 courtesy of the lovely people at Twentieth Century Fox. The bundle includes a huge variety of films and television series such as Modern Family, Bones, The Fault in our Stars, The Book of Life and many more - perfect entertainment for all the family during a miserable month of April showers.

To be in with a chance of winning we want you to tell us which movie you would screen (and why) if you had your very own cinema for just one night. The more funny and outrageous the better. May the Force be with you all smile

*Congratulations trisher, you are the lucky winner. We LOVED the hilarious account of what you would have everyone do whilst screening South Pacific!*

For the entire family it would have to be "Annie". It has it all, sadness sad, happiness, smile, masses of humour, and fabulous music, song and dance. Tha children and grown-ups all light up the screen. It is a real feel good movie for everyone. sunshine

angep1969 Thu 16-Apr-15 20:32:49

I would screen Moulin Rouge for it's escapism, humour, fabulous music, costumes and Ewan MacGregor! I could watch it everyday and never get tired of it.

Bambi - so that I could blub unnoticed. Unlike my first viewing of this classic at the cinema when the lights went up to reveal a whole row of children from my primary class sitting in front of me as they were on a birthday outing. They were astinished to see the tears coursing down my cheeks. After all, I was their teacher!

suffy Thu 16-Apr-15 12:38:09

I would screen The Goonies. It has been a firm family favourite through 3 generations for many many years and we still all get together to watch it when its on TV! HEY YOUUUU GUYYYYYS! Love it !

The FULL MONTY .... because it always cheers us up and it might put a rocket under the old fellow who's just lately become a bit mellow !!

hughese Thu 16-Apr-15 07:10:16

The Sound of music - we could singalong at home without embarrassment.
