'Old school' films my teens will enjoy

Having a family movie night tomorrow. Girls are 13 and 15.

Any suggestions for classic ("old school") movies we could all enjoy?

Thinking something like Labyrinth (seen lots of times!).

The kind of stuff we would have watched in the 90s/naughties.

Already watched Dirty Dancing, Grease, Back to the Future etc.

We just tried to watch Heathers 😵‍💫 thought it was meant to be a classic horror bloodbath but it was soooo boring and slow, nothing happened! Gave up after an hour. So thats a non-recommend from me 😄

If you want a gentle old school comedy-coming of age film, Breaking Away is great.
