Nanny McPhee - perfect but most of them have seen it
High School Musical - OK, but most of them have seen it

Trying to avoid animated disney & Bratz.

More suggestions please.

Another vote for Matilda! My 7 and 5 year old watched it the other day and were mesmerised.

"Fly away home" is a fab tear jerker (in a good way) with a happy ending,if they love animals they will love it,it has a great story and a wonderful lead (that little girl from "the piano").that is the best I can think of for that age group other than musicals-my fair lady etc.Now I want to go and watch "fly away home" with a box of chocs,its really fab!

Princess Diaries 1 and 2 are both excellent films.

Another film that DD who is 7 likes is "A bridge to Terabithia" (please excuse spelling)

Labyrinth also very good, and hairspray. Dd is 7 and enjoyed both of these.

The Bridge To Terabithia is quite a weepy, its quite sad but a lovely film! Would thoroughly recommend it!

Report
SlightlyMadShrek · 02/02/2008 23:21

Right Bridge to Taerab.....is out.

It MUST NOT be weepy.

At least 3 of the children are so sensitive and cry at a bloody happy ending...

Why not ask girls what are their favourite film, tell them you will go on the most popular!

Terabithia is a sad ending as someone dies! So it is not a happy ending at all!
