| My 10 year old is aksing for a movie none of us has seen and is excellent. We all love sports movies, kids who beat the odds movies (think better nate than ever, and the queen of katwe), and comedies. PG-13 is fine and some R is OK too |
|
October Sky
Spare Parts Akilah and the Bee |
| R for an 8 year old? In that case, go ahead and watch Oppenheimer. |
|
There are so many good ones without needing them to rush to PG13 or R! Plenty of time for that.
For beating the odds and/or sports I like: Akeelah and the Bee Matilda (both the musical on Netflix and the older non musical movie) The Greatest Showman Cool Runnings The Mighty Ducks Finding Ohana Sing Zootopia Hidden Figures This is a great list of 50 movies all kids should see before age 12: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/lists/50-movies-all-kids-should-watch-before-theyre-12 |
| Check out Nimona on Netflix. We just watched with 9 year old and loved it! |
| What about The Mitchells vs the Machines? It was funny for both the kid and adults. Also Jennifer Garner has a couple of cheesy family movies on Netflix, they are very formulaic but somewhat entertaining and my kid laughed a lot during both of them, which is always a plus. |
| Rudy sounds like it would be perfect. Miracle is another good one. At those ages, my kids loved Dolphin Tale. |

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Jumanji: Next Level My 8yo and 10yo DDs and I laughed the whole time. Our most recent movie was Back to the Future suggested by their grandfather, ha! |

Yes Day
Elemental |
| Leo on Netflix. It’s a cartoon but our whole family (kids 8&11 yo) loved it. |
Nimona was really interesting. |
|
Greatest Showman
Wonka |
|
Hobbit
Harry Potter Matlida Witches BFG A Wrinkle In Time Hook Stuart Little Enchanted OP there are no R rated movies for the ages of your kids. That is ridiculous. Not a bible thumper nor as my kids aged stopped them from watching anything they wanted. But this post is just dum. Your parenting stinks |
