I have an Acer Aspire 9300 laptop with a couple of family movies on
it. I'd like to watch these on the big TV in the living room.

Which cable do I need?

TIA

Your laptop seems to have a VGA and S-Video outputs so you decide which one you pick and wheer you want to plug it in. Assuming the coloured inputs on your TV are component, I suppose this would suit you: >> Stay informed about: FOAK: Laptop to TV cable

If yer big tv has a 'PC' connector then a 15pin SubD Male to Male (VGA lead)[1] for the video plus a 3.5mm stereo jack to (probably) twin phono connectors (for the audio) should do it. Maplins, PC World, eBay .. decent high street electrical / HiFi shop etc. All the best ..

Sounds like you've picked a SCART socket without S-Video on it - so you're getting the B&W composite picture.
