best film to watch with 13yr old son?

[CantSleepCountingSheep]

Ideas please????

My 12yo and I have been enjoying the Pirates of the Caribbean series lately

Cry freedom
empire of the sun
the Truman show
the power of one

might not all be 12s so check first but all important viewing with young teens

The Italian Job
Early Bond films
Indiana Jones

Following with interest!

The original Italian job has not aged well in terms of the portrayal of women. Worth thinking about.

If he likes dystopian fiction

Enders game
the giver

Saving Grace with Brenda Blethyn
Cool Runnings
Men in Black

Brazil

Hitchcock?

Hunger games
Divergent

The Martian. The single most successful movie we ever watched with ds.

I was also going to suggest The Martian!

We recently watched Contagion too, was interesting after COVID.

Second hand lions
Willi wonka
Iron giant

Big hero 6

1917
Little Shop of Horrors
The Burbs

Cool runnings

Eddie the eagle

Ready player one
Free Guy

Just watched with DS (12)

Planes trains and automobiles
Dumb and dumber
Groundhog Day
Bill and Ted
Free guy
Big

Robocop. It'll traumatise him but he'll thank you after.

"Hunt for the Wilderpeople"
The movie (not the TV series) "What we do in the Shadows "

I don't have a son, but at a similar age, I loved watching Stand by Me

Napoleon Dynamite - my ds13's fave film in the world ever.

My son loved the Blindside, Signs, Sixth Sense, oh and the new Lost King

He loves cool runnings 🤣
