What film do me and DD10 want to watch tonight?

[Cryingatthegym]

We always have a movie night on Saturday nights when her brothers go to bed, but tonight we're struggling for inspiration.

I want to watch The Holiday but she says there's too much yucky romance and kissing - does anyone have any suggestions for anything similar that we'll both enjoy?

Freaky Friday
wonka (the new one)

what sort of films do she/ you enjoy?

Hidden Figures is on Netflix now

Has she seen Paddington? Or even better, Paddington 2. Really enjoyed watching that with my son when he was about 19!

Or any of the Nativity films.

Enola Holmes?

What sort of movies do you both enjoy? Our all time older faves are Princess Bride, School of Rock, Pride & Prejudice (BBC 6 hr version ofc), Megamind,

I was going to say School of Rock.

Any Paddington, Inside Out 2 or Babe

Nanny McPhee is always a good shout. Have to agree with paddington aswell

Pirates of the Caribbean is a current fave here!
Greatest showman
Mamma Mia

Never heard of this but it looks great! Not sure if it might be a bit serious for DD. Enola Holmes looks like a good suggestion too.

She's at that awkward age where she's a bit too young for adult themes but too old for your usual kid films. We've seen School of Rock, Paddington etc.

Some great suggestions, please keep them coming!

The Italian Job (the original one)
Are you there God, it's me, Margaret?

YY to Hidden Figures

Oops, meant to quote this

We both loved Are You There God It's Me Margaret. Anything along those lines would go down brilliantly.

We were just discussing Paddington in our house. Think that's what we are going for here (Paddington 2)..

Some other great suggestions here also. Though with Freaky Friday I'd have to opt for the Jodie Foster one. Jamie Lee Curtis version is a close second. (Admittedly other other one is ruled out simply due to the fact I've not seem jt)

Strictly Ballroom - its available on apple tv

Not similar but what 10 year olds (and parents) tend to like:
Spirited away
The Nightmare before christmas

I was going to suggest Freaky Friday but someone got there before me.

How about Wild Child?

St Trinian's (2007)

Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron (2002)

Strictly Ballroom is great!

High School Musical 1 and 2 (not 3)

Parent Trap - original and new versions

The Railway Children

Lassie

I have the answer! (based on your preferences you have mentioned):
I Capture The Castle.

Last Christmas! With Emilia Clarke

Hidden Figures is definitely one to watch in the next year or so. Fly away home was something my dc loved (was new then)

Movie length is the new otter documentary on national geographic (yesterday was premiere), haven't watched it yet but the trailer looked great so I've recorded it.
