What film shall I watch (at home) with DS, 12, today?

I'd love suggestions for what to watch that we'll both enjoy - it's tipping with rain and has been all day and I need to curl up and do nothing.

Any recommendations welcome, even (particularly maybe) leftfield ones.

Thank you!

We watched Billy Elliot with our two (15 and 13) last night. Kids loved it and enjoyed social history stuff as well as the story.

Have you seen Isle of Dogs? We'll be watching it later (though did see it at the cinema). Very clever, multi layered so everyone can enjoy it on different levels.

Apollo 13 or The Martian

Holes is very good for this age; and I enjoyed it too - look it up it’s on amazon prime I think

Thank you all so much! We watched Holes and loved it - I'd never heard of it! But we all really enjoyed it so thank you very much.

Noting all the other recos too as I expect there'll be a few more wet and windy weekends coming our way soon.

Thank you x

The book of holes is excellent - one to get if he likes reading!
