DS has a friend over, they want to watch a film but I don't know what to show them.
They have seen and like things like star wars, hobbit etc.
I'm sure there are some old classics they would love but I can't think of any...
Suggestions please

I wouldn't do Jurassic park either! Terrifying

Ghostbusters contains sexual content and bad language that you may not remember with the rosy glow of nostalgia so do be aware.

Zathura- 2 brothers find an old game as as they play it things start to happen , the whole house ends up floating in space. Very fast paced, good ending.
Treasure planet ( cartoon film, very well done)
