movie to watch with young 13 year old

[Anonymous]

He's beyond horrified if anything remotely sexy comes on. And hates horror/scary/overly emotional...

Any recommendations?

Princess Bride never fails

Genre interest would help. If he hasn't seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy, that'd be an epic journey to take him on.

Some of the older phases of the marvel movies - Spider-Man Homecoming is good. A little “tension” with the bad guy but not super scary and there is a lot of humor. I have found the Ant man movies to have a lot of humor.

We just watched Oppenheimer with our 14 year old and he really liked it. But he also likes war movies.

Oooh I love Empire of the Sun PP. I’ve watched it with my 11yo.
Also watched both Top Gun movies.
Star Wars if you think he would be into it

Good movie but has a full on naked women and very emotional at parts. Not what OP is looking for.

This is a good list for a sensitive kid (I have one, too).

Also like list with Hidden Figures.

Will add:

Remember the Titans (I think, it's been a while)

if you'll consider musicals:
Newsies
Greatest Showman

This list has some great movies in case you haven't seen them:
