My 7 year old DT's ( boy/girl ) have recently enjoyed;

The Goonies,
Annie ( new version),
Willow,
The Last Airbender,
Jurassic World ( although it may not be suitable for some 7 year olds - my 2 loved it though ),
Harry Potter films,
Disney Descendants ( still has princesses in but not too princessy if you know what I mean ),
High School Musical films.

Have you tried the home alone set? Also spy kids set? (As with all of these films where they become a series, they are not of equal quality story wise Grin)

Of my dd's collection I prefer:

Madeline
Matilda
Karate Kid
Nanny McPhee (the 2nd one is good)
A Monster in Paris
Underdog
The Witches
Mousehunt
How to train your dragon
Early Harry Potter

She's very fond of the Alvin and Chipmunk films but they hurt my ears.
