90s film recommendation for 16yr old

[Tapoopoo]

Over the last few weeks DD16 and I have watched a film or a series together a few times a night.

I'm not a big TV person (we wouldn't have one at all if it was up to me) but this has been lovely. She normally just hisses at me or asks for money so I'm enjoying this before normal behaviour resumes. 🤣

What films/series would you recommend?
She is quite eclectic and I dont care but some 90s films would be good to relive my youth.

She likes:
Fallout series
Schitts Creek
Heartbreakers
Pitch Perfect
Fallout Guy
Sliding Doors (this was left field but she really loved it!)

She didn't like
Warm Bodies
Shakespeare In Love
Top Gun
Dirty Dancing

I'm trying to get her to watch The Last of Us and Stranger Things but she's refusing on principle because we wouldn't let her watch them when they first came out.

YES That's it! 😁😁

Vampire Diaries
Twilight

Yes - hard agree. What about National Lampoon’s ‘Animal House’ - a similar but less dirty vibe set on a US uni campus. I love National Lampoon - their Christmas Vacation is a great Christmas choice.

Ferris Bueillers Day off.

Awww I’m doing similar with my teen and have written a list for us to check off over summer. How about:

• The Fifth Element
• Truman Show
• Who framed Roger Rabbit
• Forrest Gump
• Bring it On (early 2000s)
• Cruel Intentions
• The Running Man (original Arnie version)
• Trainspotting (if you think she can handle it, I was much younger than 16 when I saw it)

I have loads of other sci fi and horror suggestions that are fine for a 16 year old if you think she’d be open to that.

Notting Hill
Four weddings and a funeral
While you were sleeping

My children loved Rainman and sleeping with the enemy.

Dawson Creek

newer than 90’s but ‘The OC’

90210

Oh my god! I just read this list and at each one…”oh yeah that was great!” “Loved that”

Going to need to rewatch these!!

The Pretender
Quantum Leap

Titanic
Muriel's Wedding
Bridget Jones' Diary (not quite 90s but definitely worth a watch)

My 15year old DD likes
Easy A
Fight club
Legally blond
Labyrinth

And more recent TV series to watch together
Sweet tooth
Yellow jackets
Silo

Maybe more 80s but three men and a baby with Peter Selleck? Clueless is a good suggestion.

This one is quite niche but everyone I know has loved it: starter for 10

also
romy and Michelle’s high school reunion
the notebook
crazy stupid love
stand by me
stepmom
dude where’s my car
kevin and Perry go large

Pretty in Pink

(An 80s film strictly speaking!)

Loved Quantum Leap (the series) growing up ♥️

Loved Sleeping with the Enemy!

i would say all these except ally mcbeal only because i’ve never seen it.
i would add the commitments - cracker of a film

What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Watched it with both my teens and they loved it.

Has anyone mentioned Twin Peaks?
I remember not being allowed to watch it back in the day, but my 2y older sister was....

You’ve got Mail

Sure some of these will have been said before..

10 things I hate about you
Princess Mononoke
Laputa Castle in the Sky
Wuthering height (1992 version)

My girl

Dogma... what a brilliant movie.... so hard to get a copy of now (I think it pissed off too many religious folk... and they have power). I have watched this with my 13yr old and he absolutely got it. I loved it 1st time round
