Film recommendations for my 11 year old daughter and I

[LittleScottish]

Having a lovely, girly night in, and DD wants to watch a film.

Shes quite mature for her age, so I'm looking forward to something none-Pixar, but after a tiring week, I'm not very inspired!

What do your DD's enjoy? (I have Sky, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Not a humblebrag, I'm just a couch potato )

Freaky Friday
13 Going on 30
Parent Trap
Sister Act

The Greatest Showman

The original Beauty and the Beast is wonderful. Well, the one from the 90s, not sure if it’s original.

Curly Sue
Mrs Doubtfire
Father of the bride

My DD is 12 and we recently watched Wonder, Hunger Games.. watched 10 things I Hate About You last night but that's the first thing I've watched with her with sexual references... I think it would be ok for a year 7 but maybe not a year 6.

We've enjoy Mean Girls, Pitch Perfect 1, 2 and 3. Angus thongs and perfecr snogging.

Freaky Friday and the Parent Trap definitely. Practical Magic? I love Hot Fuzz too but that depends on your gore factor...

Four weddings and a funeral is on Netflix!

Instant Family is quite good too if you want something newer

My 12 yo found Hot Fuzz horrific and made me turn it off. I'd forgotten that the gory scenes are graphic.

Twilight? They don't get it on till film 4!! Ghost.

The decoy bride is a good rom com type thing but no raunchy scenes and no swearing afaik.
Its usually on netflix

Hunt for the Wilder People is a lovely film

Awesome - thanks all!

Love 4 weddings, but IIRC, there's some fairly cringeworthy shagging, isn't there?!

The new female Ghostbusters? A bit of swearing but it’s A great film.

When Marnie was there

If she's a younger 11 then Harriet the Spy (90's one) or Ramona and Beezus, or Bridge to Terabithia? The last one definitely not a feel good movie and guaranteed to have you crying. I like to go with my old favourites like Honey I shrunk the kids, the Goonies, back to the future, bill and Ted's.

Now you see me, if she likes magic shows and Jesse eisenberg, woody harrelson and mark ruffalo my son adores it.
