13 year old - suitable DVDs?

My GS loves watching videos of old Outnumbered programmes.

Diary of a wimpy kid?
Harry Potter?
War of the worlds?
Jurassic park?

(I bought a box set of dvds of the series from Amazon)

Ghostbusters ( the old ones)
Lego movie ( amusing)
Pirates in an adventure with scientists ( hilarious)

National Treasure
National Treasure Book of Secrets.
Agree with Jurassic Park.
Gremlins.

Has he seen The Goonies? Brilliant, my two always loved it. Perfect for that age, I should think.

DGS (a bit younger) loves the Percy Jackson books and I see they have been turned into films, available on DVD.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians series
Spy Kids (I enjoyed that one but watched with a granddaughter)
Aquaman (I didn't like it but the boys did!)

Are the David Walliams ones too young?
I was thinking of Gangsta Granny etc

Star Wars? (the "original" three!)

Night at the Museum + 2

Star wars, lord of the rings, guardians of the galaxy, harry potter, comedies like home alone, pink panther (the steve martin one) adams family, michael morpurgo, Bumblebee movie (not babyish!) Jurassic park

Jaws, gremlins, the others, arachnophobia, tremors

The Meg

Elf

I wouldn't show Jaws or Lord Of The Rings to a 13 year old.

I saw Jaws when I was 13. Loved it. Went back loads of times.

This might sound odd but my son, who is now 26, loved Dad's Army and Fawlty Towers when he was in his early teens

All the Star Wars films, The Last Starfighter, War Games (It's about someone who hacks into a US gov computer) Mine loved the Goonies. Ferris Bueller's Day Off (although he may be a bit young yet) Back to the Future, Groundhog Day, The Bill and Ted movies.

Oh yes, Back To The Future, great films for young teenagers...
And even old ladies.?

You were brave Oopsminty!
As an adult I had to watch it behind a cushion.?

The Hobbit is on KS2 schools recommended reading lists and the other Tolkiems and Jaws are both on KS3 reading lists so Im certainly not alone in thinking they are age appropriate for 13!

Plenty of primary school age kids will have read all the Lord of the Rings books so if anything, 13 is late to introduce it

Have you seen LOTR or The Hobbit films? They are extremely scary in parts, and The Hobbit is only loosely based on the book.
The books are suitable for 13 yr olds.

Yes I have seen them. Not at all a fan I think the money thrown at the franchise didnt result in believable story telling so because of that theyre not scary at all IMO but some people like them.

And the Jaws book is more grown up than the movie as theres much more about the adult relationships in it
