Ferris Bueller
Home Alone
Thor esp last one
Marvel movies
Dr Strange
Antman
My DD12 also doesn't like girly movies but she does like Stranger Things and scary stuff but we loved Locke and Key
3 Body Problem and Lost In Space are sci-fi that worked as well
Comedies work well in general like Netflix Ryan Reynolds had one I forget name

Thanks everyone for your suggestions - so many great older ones that I'd had forgotten about and some I've never heard of!

Inside Out 2 is excellent. We took two 12 year olds and they loved it.

Hidden Figures
A League of Their Own
Not "girly" but both very powerful for girls.
Less of a female-lead focus:
Apollo 13 - gripping for anyone that age!

+1 to whomever suggested
The North Avenue Irregulars
I watched this movie on repeat when I was a kid!
(Also—fun fact: the main character (pastor) is played by Edward Hermann who is the father in Gilmore Girls.
And his daughter in the movie (Carmel) is played by a young Melora Hardin (aka Jan from The Office).
Melora and Ed appear together again in one episode of Gilmore Girls where she plays a single therapist who comes to dinner as an invited guest of Emily’s who intends to fix her up with Christopher. And Lorelai ends up having a therapy session with her in her car in her parents driveway.)

Not a comedy but what about the National Treasure movies? Fun and interesting.

My 12yo DD enjoyed Twelve and Cheaper By The Dozen recently. Twelve is new, other one is an oldie.
