Can anyone recommend something?
The problem is that he's in that in between stage. Lots of the 12 rating series are too young but I'm not comfortable watching 15's with him.

Can be anything really, comedy, drama, sci fi?

Firefly's special effects - I don't know another Sci Fi that actually has gravity turned off sometimes. And die hard is ridiculous.

Ghosts.

Some of the 1980s films, the lost boys, the brat pack version of the three musketeers, the mighty Ducks films?

Interested in this thread?

Firefly's special effects - I don't know another Sci Fi that actually has gravity turned off sometimes.

If by 'sci-fi' you mean TV as opposed to movies i Mission to Mars, 2001, Gravity, (obviously) Apollo 13, Solaris... even Project Moonbase back in 1953 all portray zero G. There are many more.

But in TV less so. I guess for budgetary requirements:

Babylon 5 had a good stab 'Gravity' on Earth's ships and the Babylon Stations was generated by spinning the living quarters - use is made of the zero G at the axis of spin on the station in several episodes. Ships operate in zero G. No Star Wars banking like old aeroplanes. - only later in the series do they cop out and borrow advanced technology from the Mimbari and have 'artificial gravity' . I guess the SFX guys were getting dizzy.

...and my nerdiness is showing isn't it?

Sorry I was thinking TV, and I do believe there was a BBC 2 series that also tried.

The Martian also had some zero gravity.
