As we get older, milestones are few and far between. Landing your dream job, getting married, having a baby.
But kids, on the other hand, have a lot worth celebrating. From bringing home your first pet to going to your first high school dance, frame-worthy moments go far beyond the baby book.
In recognition of “mini milestones,” we’ve compiled a list of movies and TV episodes that highlight a variety of these achievements. Whatever “firsts” your family is celebrating this fall, Netflix can relate.

Do you have any special shows that make you think of a “first” or milestone?
The Flinstones I remember watching and having a lot of fun laughing at this show. My first movie I saw on a VCR was with Kevin Costner in Robin Hood. It is still my favorite movie. I also love the animated movie the Lion King. I can watch it over and over.
My kids love Bill Nye the Science Guy, and my daughter really like her Dora The Explorer show. I love shows they can watch that promote learning, and we have Netflix and love it.
what did we ever do before netflix???
I had Netflix not too long ago and loved having it. I would love to get it again. It was nice to have family shows you can choose from anytime of the day.
The only shows or movies I can think of that make me think of a milestone are the 80’s classics like 16 Candles, Say Anything, Breakfast Club. Those movies always make me think of high school and graduating.
I remember Punky Brewster as a child growing up in the early 80’s
I see some on my kids’ favorites made the list- The Hive and The Croods! I’m not buying a house but I’ve already watched all the episodes of House Hunters on Netflix! Haha! hoping they put more episodes up soon.
What a fun idea, finding a show to correspond with what’s happening in real life! Let’s see… for a trip to Canada, I might watch The Mercer Report. When home sick, however, I will definitely NOT watch Contagion or Outbreak! LOL
