i am sick and can't go out much so we are making great use of a lovefilm subscription.

Trouble is while the older kids are well catered for I am struggling to find family films suitable for 13 yo girl. She's ok with many 15s but I need some titles to search for - trying to use the instant with package option. Want reliable comedies. light romance (so no heated sex or horror - we are ok with swearing and sex per se but nothing too visual and violence turns us all off!)

we do watch a lot of movies but they tend to be world or indie and i'm struggling to search through the 7000 films!

Fly away home (prob too young, I don't have a 13-year-old)
How about some old ones? say Meet Me In St Louis, Some Like It Hot? And I suppose Airplane is a vintage classic now...
Jane Austen adaptations?
the Ken Branagh Henry V?

I watched the Bridget jones films with mine recently and the holiday and she loved them. There is a bit of swearing and sex but not disturbing.
