The mask was one of my favourite movies as a kid. I think Cameron Diaz might have been my first crush 😂

If you want to get really old maybe some classic Noir or Bette Davis films.

Mine have enjoyed

The Truman Show
About a Boy
Groundhog Day

ProfessorRapson · 27/04/2020 08:37

Bill and Ted
Edward Scissorhands
Benny and Joon

Papergirl1968 · 27/04/2020 08:37

Speed, True Lies and Terminator.
If they’re girls Sleepless in Seattle. Meg Ryan and Sandra Bullock did a few other romcoms too but their titles escape me other than While You Were Sleeping.
Possibly Bridget Jones Diary although I think that is a 15 certificate.
Dirty Dancing and Pretty Woman if you think they’re old enough.

megletthesecond · 27/04/2020 08:38

This is proper old but 11yr old DD loved Rear Window this weekend. It's only a PG.

I'm going to try them on Kind Hearts and Coronets next.

crochetandshit · 27/04/2020 08:39

Ghostbusters
Crocodile Dundee
Back to the Future
Indiana Jones

Restlessinthenorth · 27/04/2020 08:39

We watched Field of Dreams last night, and they enjoyed it. We have Ghost ready to watch next

Hippofrog · 27/04/2020 08:40

Independence Day

CountFosco · 27/04/2020 08:42

Dirty Dancing and Pretty Woman if you think they’re old enough.

First Dancing is a 12 and is a far better and more feminist film than the dreadful Pretty Woman.

Drop dead fred

AdaColeman · 27/04/2020 08:43
