There's no denying that blockbuster films and Hollywood movies are incredible to watch, with their high budget settings\u00a0and spectacular graphics. I mean, James Bond and The Avengers? You've got to love those.<\/p>

But, sometimes, we simply crave for good ol' local flavours<\/a> to be incorporated into our movies. There's nothing like watching a stellar local film, steeped in our own culture and language. Where else would you find movies infused with a slew of Singlish phrases and Singaporean slang? Not to mention, those that feature themes which hit close to home and portray characters we can fully relate to.<\/p>

From comedie<\/a>s to tearjerkers, the ton of movies that our local cinematic industry has churned out is truly impressive. Whether you're up for a good cry or a time of laughter, our local film industry has got you covered. Of course, not\u00a0every local film is child-appropriate, so we've picked out the top 10 local films that the whole family<\/a> can enjoy. So, huddle up with your kids\u00a0and dive right into our gallery!<\/p>
