Hoping for some help with my present for nephews. Am going to borrow someone else's brilliant idea from an earlier thread on here and make a 'boys' night in' box containing bags of homemade sweets (fudge, rocky road and Nigella's peanut brittle), hot chocolate and popcorn and a couple of dvds. However, I'm stuck for film ideas - I was thinking a couple of 'classics' rather than recent releases. Has anyone got any suggestions of what 11 and 13 year old boys might enjoy? Many thanks.

I'm getting my 11 year old cousin the Back to the Future trilogy. Also how about Star Wars?

I have 11 and 13 year old DS's and IME they don't go for retro films. They just think they are old fashioned.
I've got DS1 the Michael Macintyre DVD , both boys love him and unlike most comedians this is not too rude. (Actually DS1 would prefer Frankie Boyle but NO WAY).

Men In Black (but perhaps check with their mum first if you think she'll object to a bit of mild swearing).
