DD has a few friends coming for a sleepover soon and one thing she was going to suggest was a movie - what are your favourite films for this age? DD loves Mrs Doubtfire, recently enjoyed Inside Out 2. Wondering if there are any recent films we've not seen they might enjoy, but also what are your classic kids films?

Loads of amazing suggestions here, thank you!! Some we've seen (but she loves and would happily watch again) and some we haven't. Thanks so much

@HoHoHoliday me too I watched the black and white version with Shirley temple the other week 😁

almondflake · 20/09/2024 22:56

Splash with Tom hanks and Daryl Hannah. The spiderwick chronicles , my kids loved time bandits, the secret garden and my son was absolutely enthralled by the old black and white version of Jane eyre . All of the pirates of the Caribbean films are fun and the back to the future films , big with Tom hanks is an oldie but a goodie too as is batteries not included .

My girls (10, 7) enjoyed "Are you there God, it's me Margaret" tonight. Made me reminisce about being that age when you're all discussing who will get their period first etc :)

That was so bad we walked out of the cinema, possibly because I had idolised the book in my head for so long but Dts found it so dull.

Greatest showman, legally blonde?

Really depends what your kid is into.
