Film recommendations

[Binfire]

Hi All

Looking for recommendations of
films to watch with my 12 year old, preferably on either Netflix or Sky Cinema.

Bonus points for strong female leads!

Many thanks 😊

i loved Wild Rose

Oceans 8 ?

Legally Blonde?

Enola Holmes

Knives Out

Great thanks, we have seen Legally Blonde but none of the others. Some recommendations that I haven’t heard of there too!

Amélie, Ferris Beuller's Day Off, School of Rock, Little Women, Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliette

CODA is a lovely film.

Catherine Called Birdy on Netflix is an excellent watch and a strong role model for girls

Wednesday - a series not a film but brilliant!

Jo jo rabbit.

The English on BBC catch up, best watch of the year, may not be 12 though.

the films of hayao miyazaki almost all have female leads
he made them for his granddaughter
spirited is a great start

These are the films I loved when I was 12 that I still love now:

1. Bad News Bears (the original)
2. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
3. Barefoot in the Park
4. All the President’s Men
5. West Side Story (the original)
6. On the Town (I just loved this film)
7. Paper Moon
8. Kramer V Kramer
9. Ordinary People
10. The Graduate (my all time favourite)

I also loved anything directed by Hitchcock, Spielberg, or as I got a bit older, Scorcese.

I’m grateful to have grown up in the 70s and 80s when film was still an art form. So many amazing films to choose from. I would struggle to come up with five from the past 20 odd years.

Parasite is subtitled but really good.

Titanic
The Breakfast Club
Ghost World
Albatross
Belle
