Help me choose a film to watch with 9yo DS

I'm laid up in bed with something not contagious. DS9 wants to watch a film.

I can't face anything too annoying. He refuses to watch Star Wars (parent fail) -

Any recommendations of something we can both enjoy? Preferably on Netflix or Prime (free).

Thanks!

Cool Runnings?

kookplanv · 10/10/2021 13:46

Is there a new one ?
Or original.

Not seen that in years. Might work!

I watched Wonder with my 9 and 6 year old the other day on Netflix and we loved it. The trailer hadn't really attracted me, but it was a good family film.

War House. My ds loved it

Horse not house

Bumble bee (transformers film)
Goonies (!)
Free Guy (my 9 year old loves this but it’s a 12 and there’s the odd swear word so may not be your thing)!
Pirates of the Caribbean

These are all things my 9 year old ds loves.
