'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.

You'll find the age ratings of these films has changed especially the remakes. Often lowered. One of my favourite being Roadhouse. Remake of this is not as naughty!🤣

Thetrickcyclist · 25/08/2024 22:18

I thought of another. Fly Away Home

The Outsiders - worth it for the cast if nothing else! Especially the completely beautiful young Rob Lowe & Patrick Swayze 💖
