Film ideas for 12 year old boys’ sleepover - help needed!!

[MrsHelenHuntingdon]

They’re 11-12 but think they’re 15. WTF can I put on for them!?

Totally at a loss. Please help!

Godzilla x Kong is a good one

Dodgeball went down very well my my 12yo DS

Transformers movies for sure.

Men in Black
Bill and Ted's Great Adventure

Arachnophobia! Jokey but a bit scary too.
(But don't watch it yourself if you're not keen on arachnids...🕷️)

Meet the Fockers

One of the Jurassic park films. Can’t remember if Anchorman is on the more adult side. Marvel film?

Any of the Marvel films, transformers or similar.

Paul (funny, not too scary at all)

Happy Gilmore if the parents are happy with it

The Fall Guy

Armageddon all day long.

Galaxy Quest and/or Guardians of the Galaxy

Jumanji - original and later editions

Night at the museum

Goonies, Back to the Future, Stepbrothers. Or unexpectedly, ds and his mates absolutely love Johnny English.

Evolution

Never mind the 12 year olds, some suggestions here that I'm definitely going to rewatch. (not mine!)
Dodgeball in particular had me helpless with laughter.

I agree with Jumanji. They've probably seen them but Harry Potter? One of the more recent spider men films. Top gun maverick?

I'll second Dodgeball, gave it a rewatch last week and it made my inner 12yo laugh his head off.

12's a difficult age for films, what they probably want to watch is the Marvel, Jurassic Park type stuff, but they'll all pretend its too babyish for them in front of each other.

A comedy like Dodgeball is probably the best bet. It'll seem quite adult to them, but it's a 12a and does have some positive messages hidden under all the slapstick and gross out humour.

I'd be a bit careful with Paul- it's not scary but if I remember correctly is rather sweary. (I think it's a really funny film, but I know some parents would be annoyed if their DC were allowed to watch something with loads of F ing in it)

Marvel, Star Wars, dungeons and dragons, lord of the rings if it’s an all-nighter 😁

2012

End of the world films are scary but this one is rated 12a

Yes! Brilliant film

We all enjoyed a beetkejuice double bill last night

Oh and Deadpool last weekend
