DD1 is having a joint 8th birthday party with her best friend, and we're showing a DVD. Trouble is, they both want to watch something they haven't seen before, and between them they seem to have seen all the movies we can think of.
I thought I'd struck gold when I thought of Bugsy Malone, but DD's friend isn't interested.
So please list your top movies for 8yo girls - I'm hoping that amongst them will be one we haven't thought of ...

My DD (8) loves Harry Potter more than anything else. Also loves old musicals - Annie, Sound of Music, Grease, Joseph, etc. Also Happy Feet, Bee Movie, Nanny McPhee and Monty Python and the Holy Graiil!

Bridge to Terabithia is fab and deals with some very good issues for DC of that age . My DD loves it . I do too . And it is miles away from Disney / nickelodeon drivel .

My DD is 8 and loves Galaxy Quest (Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver), she also likes Julie & Julia, Miss Potter, Mrs Henderson Presents, The Rocketeer, The Aviator (Leonardo DiCaprio), A Good Year (Russell Crowe)
Some are a bit grown up, DD is practically an only child so is able to watch more advanced stuff as no younger ones to consider.

My 10 year old DD didn't get back to the future. The historical jokes all had to be explained.
Despicable me is hilarious, I want a minion
