I have a house full of ten year old boys for a sleepover. Hopefully I can get them to watch a film from 10pm ish instead of leaping around and playing endless Xbox, what films should I suggest?

One of the Marvel ones seem to keep that age group entertained, some are for older age rated but there are loads that they could watch.

My nephew is ten and his favourite film is RatRace. He gurgles like a drain ask the way through it.

Bumblebee
Ghostbusters afterlife
Freeguy
Anything Jurassic Park

(although I think some of these are 12As so maybe not suitable if you’re not sure they’ll be okay with watching them or if their parents might not be)!
