Has he ever seen the Original Indiana Jones movies, I loved them at around that age.

My DS loves The Labyrinth, Oliver and the original Mary Poppins... bit of nostalgia too Smile

Princess Bride maybe? Some of the better Muppets films?

Goonies,

Newearringsplease · 21/07/2019 09:44

Mousehunt I love that film

We recently watched LOTR with DS 7, he loved them. We went for the shorter versions rather than the extended tho.

DonPablo · 21/07/2019 09:59

We watched the first back to the future with our ds yesterday. He bloody loved it!

DogsandBoysmeanMud · 21/07/2019 10:10

Star Wars! My DH can still remember the day he saw the first (but obvs not the first now) one in the 70s. DSs have seen them all and loved them.

Chitty chitty bang bang, Charlie and choc factory and all the old classics.

At that age my DS loved Indiana Jones. National Treasure has a similar vibe. Also loved Bedtime Stories, Night at the Museum, The Goonies, Back to the Future, ET, Mrs Doubtfire. Actually he loved that so we watched a load of other Robin Williams movies. Then there's Star Wars and Harry Potter, the first ones are probably ok for age 8.

My DS loved jumanji, Harry Potter movies and The Croods.

If you can find it - very topical - The Dish. It's about the moon transmission.

stucknoue · 21/07/2019 11:11

Back to the future, was 8 when it came out

MoodyFucker · 21/07/2019 12:08

Thank you! There's some great suggestions!

I'd completely forgotten about Indiana Jones!
