Please recommend me something for this evening's viewing!
We have Sky and Amazon Prime but no Netflix.
We've watched Knives Out and Murder on the Orient Express, Clue, Gremlins and Roadhouse(!) recently all of which she enjoyed.
What have you watched recently with your young teen that's been a hit?

My 15 year old dd and I loved Greenland on Amazon.

We do love disaster movies though.

Thanks all! That'll keep us going. I don't really watch a lot myself so a bit out of touch.

I second Jojo Rabit, which we watched as a family. Both teen dcs loved it.

It's not really a history lesson, but if you know enough of the history, you will get the jokes.
