Family films (aged 12+)

[rosemole]

Any recommendations?

So far we've watched
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
That Christmas
Bird Box (actually horror but they enjoyed it 😂)
Wallace & Gromit

DD liked Woman in Black
Her favourite film is Truman Show

Oh yes we watched Truman show recently, great film.

Legally blonde is one of my favourite movies. Seems fluffy but is actually a positive feminist message!
Kelly’s Heroes is great too. Classic war movie with an anti-hero spin.

We watched the matrix recently with DS10 and DS12. A lot went over their head, but found fight scenes and bullet time cool.
They also liked the 2 Pacific rim films, avatar films and ready player one. And the Martian (swearing was at least in context). Might have to try the Truman show.

Stardust
Jumanji

Castaway

Back to the future series (last one is crap but others good).

Lots of Tom Hanks films are great from that age really.

If they liked Bird Box maybe try A Quiet Place? Watched the films with DD (13) this year and she enjoyed them, and while they're horror there's not much in the way of gore/violence in them

Apollo 13. Hidden Figures.

Thank you, would never have stumbled on that myself but they might like it.

Once we moved onto 12+ films, my DD's favourite by a mile was Catch Me if You Can.
