13 year old - suitable DVDs?

& most of the LOTR movies arent even 15 rated I think most are 12s

Neverending story, labyrinth, legend

Small Soldiers (if it's still available).
Any of the Lego movies. Adults will love them too, I do.
Has he seen Jumanji?
Home Alone.

You were brave Oopsminty!

Ha, lemongrove! I was captivated by it. I still watch it now and again if it pops up on Sky! We went on holiday to Miami Beach shortly after that had been released. I'd be swimming in the sea keeping an eye open at all times.

How about The Goonies? Gremlins? Stand By Me?

All a bit old but they've stood the test of time well.

I agree about Back to the Future. Every child should see that.

Thank you SO MUCH, everyone. Not being a person who watches DVDs myself, I haven't a clue. I'll make a list of all suggestions and will try to find some of them. Very, very much appreciated and all suggestions have meant I don't have to do my own trial-and-error research. Wonderful - thanks, everyone.

Great, HettyMaud! Let us know which you choose and if he likes them!

My 12 year old Grandson loves the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter films, as well as the Jaws ones. I wouldn’t want him watching alone but I expect you’d be with him. Likewise The Hunger Games (which he likes, I don’t ).

Gladiator is a good watch (but might be a 15?) ... and most of my family enjoyed Jurassic Park (and follow ons).
Alternatively, A Knight’s Tale, Spartacus, the whole range of Batman films?
Various Star Wars or James Bond?

Oh! And Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - everyone surely loved this!!

Oh yes Hunger Games. The last movie isnt as graphic and dark as the last book.

I inadvertently got a DVD from our libray called 'Count Arthur Strong' and when my grandson (10) visited he asked if he could watch it.

I usually 'vet' things first but risked it and I have never heard him laugh so much, he was, quite literally rolling about on the floor - where he was sprawled to watch on a little portable DVD player.)

He ran scenes back over and over again and apparently persuaded his Mum to buy a copy for his home use

You can watch a clip of it:

Count Arthur Strong is hillarious!

Good clean slapstick fun

All these movies (or nearly all) are fantasy. Don't forget movies with real people to give him a wider view of the world. Some of these golden oldies are excellent: The Great Escape, Butch Cassidy, The Railway Children, About a Boy, Whistle Down the Wind, Tiger Bay, The Ten Commandments, Goodbye Mister Tom.
