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

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!)

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

My GS loves watching videos of old Outnumbered programmes.

I'm trying to find suitable DVDs to entertain my 13-year-old GS who I look after one evening per week. I hire them from our local library. Last week I borrowed a Disney one but it was too young for him. I really don't like what I call unsuitable stuff so can anyone recommend titles for a boy that age please? Obviously I'm thinking of adventure, comedy or even horror stories if they aren't too scary.
