So many good recommendations! That just means you'll have to do it often. I've watched a lot of these '80 movies with my kids, who are younger than yours.

I recommend the John Hughes movies (sixteen candles?) or all those hilarious John Candy movies. Anything with Steve Martin!

How about Flashdance? I loved that movie!
Dirty Dancing for sure, if they haven't seen it.
Have fun!

Or go really old school --

Casablanca
An Affair to Remember (I remember watching that with my Mom, and us both sitting on the couch sobbing at the end).

If your girls like Mamma Mia, you might try other musicals. Kids that age often get a big kick out of the camp factor and enjoy the music, even if they roll their eyes. A few to try:

Bye Bye, Birdie
West Side Story
Footloose
any Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie
LaLa Land
Singin' in the Rain

I can't imagine anything more mortifying at 12 than watching Dirty Dancing with my mother.

For real! You people are odd. Don't you realize how young 12 is?

some great suggestions above, also...

the one with Hugh Jackman (the greatest show?) about the ringling bros. circus! My 15 y.o. sang one of the songs non-stop for about a week. this after saying she didn't want to see it (tip, just sit down and start watching and they peek their heads in and before you know it, you're watching together)

Moonstruck (but I skipped the one scene where they fool around..not necessary to do so, but my 12 y.o. thinks that's gross)
