Recommend me some films to watch with my 16 year old dd

[Jamfirstest]

I had a brilliant thread here back along. We liked hidden figures and suffragette and that kind of thing. It’s just dd1 and ne tonight so looking for something inspiring. Nothing too violent tia

Rabbit proof fence?

I have seen that but dd1 hasn’t that’s a great suggestion. I watched that in a hostel in Alice springs many years ago

Goodbye Lenin

The Truman show
a man called otto
erin brokovitch
fried green tomatoes at the whistle stop cafe
the green mile
the shawshank redemption

I’ve watched all of these with my 13 year old son and they have been hits.

About Time

Mean Girls

The Lost Boys
Point Break
A Room with a View

Erin Brokovitch is a good shout.

Brassed Off

Enola Holmes

If you want a lighthearted film Legally Blonde is an absolute classic.

If you are okay with a tougher film with strong female leads: Silkwood, Erin Brokovitch, Three Billboards.

Upbeat films:
The Pursuit of Happyness
Eddie the Eagle
The Blind Side
Good Will Hunting
Amelie
Chocolat

Films with interesting takes on reality:
Sliding Doors
About Time
The Truman Show
Pleasantville

Real weepy but amazing true story with a pretty happy ending: Lion

My two loved Arrival.

Of more recent ones, I Swear is really good. Coda too.

The best film we ever watched with sons when they were teenagers was Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

I just watched Anniversary, on a plane, was excellent and has characters both age groups will resonate with.

The Fundaments of Caring
Pride
The Breakfast Club

Are just a few of our favourites.

Hunt For The Wilderpeople
Clueless
ET
Mamma Mia
Eurovision: The Fire Saga Story

Children of Men.
500 Days of Summer
Eternal Sunshine ...
The Breakfast Club
Thelma and Louise

The blind side is dd2’s fave film ever

Watched The Holdovers recently. Great film.

Oh yes, that's a beautiful film.

Housemaid is schlocky fun with a feminist end

The most recent Far from the Madding Crowd is on Iplayer, a romantic story.

We found some of the older films really hadn’t aged well with teens. The Breakfast club is quite dark I wouldn’t watch that as a family. They also didn’t like Four Weddings. Stick with more recent ones.

The all female oceans 12 and ghostbusters are good.

The peanut butter falcon
the fundamentals of caring
ladybird
I swear

I'm struggling to understand what you think is dark about the breakfast club?

The sexual harassment of Molly Ringwald was quite an uncomfortable watch as a family. Think it’s more a Gen X film that our age group rate than for teens today.
