Films for 9 year old boy

6 replies

My 9 year old nephew is coming to visit next week. He loves films like The Goonies or Home Alone (but has seen both a million times), can anyone else suggest anything along similar lines that he might enjoy for a film night? TIA.

Spy Next Door

What about:

Flight of the navigator
Beethoven
Baby's day out (my dc's LOVED this when they were younger)
Dennis (the one with Walter Matthau)
Problem child
Honey I shrunk the kids

(I'm trying to think of other John hughes films or similar)

My dc's have also always loved Bee Movie and Aliens in the Attic.
Oh, and Zathura!? I bet he'd love that (two brothers find an old game in their dads new house - but once they start to play....you can guess the rest!) young Kristen Stuart is in it.

Also has he seen home alone 3? My dc's actually preferred this one to the original!

The Mysterious Island
Indiana Jones (first one)
Spy Kids
Mary Poppins (second one: much, much better than expected)
ET
Paddington/Paddington 2 (which is better)
Ours still loved Bedknobs and Broomsticks at 9.
