What do I watch with a nearly 13yo who doesn’t like anything???

[LadyContrary]

Just as the title says. We are having a movie night. DS likes nothing atm - he is a grumpy teenager who communicates more through grunts than actual words. I suspect he’s in it just for the snacks anyway.

He doesn’t like (brace yourselves for the list)

• Christmas movies (for girls, apparently!!!)
• Star Wars/ lord of the rings vibe (seen many times)
• anything too scary (as if I would ever let him watch a proper horror film!)
• anything at all.

Every suggestion from me has been a NO!!!
He likes football, all sports in general, planes and travelling. He liked Jurrasic Park films, Sully: mirace on the Hudson, Men in Black - just a few examples for inspiration..

I’m feeling lost for ideas, any suggestions welcome! We have Disney+, Prime, Netflix, Sky, Paramount, Apple and pretty much any other streaming service (I know, I know, waste of money).

A few more ideas for another night

Super 8
The Meg (1 & 2)
Tremors
Predator Badlands if he will go to cinema
Fast and Furious films
Skyscraper
Rampage
Godzilla and Kong films
Armageddon
Dodgeball
Ace Ventura
The Mask

My 13 year old has been LOVING watching loads of old series and movies with us. My older 2 did as well (they used to grab the DVD’s to watch in their rooms too so I’m not delusional).

Has he seen the movies about sport e.g. The Blind Side or Cool Runnings ( old but my boys liked it at that age).

Not sure why I didn’t think of it sooner. Kes. Transcends generations.

I had to come back to this thread and say thank you for all the fantastic recommendations.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople has become a firm favourite, we’ve seen it at least 10 times, and watching it again tonight. DS has declared it the best film ever made and I love seeing him loving it so much because I loved it too.
