AuntieM Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Would love to hear your around-13yodds' favorite movies. Conservative, family friendly themes appreciated. We have seen and loved Ella Enchanted, Princess Diaries and Ever After, just to give you an idea of our tastes. What are some of your favorites?

MariannNOVA Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Everything everyone else said - and my kids loved Tuck Everlasting. Also, IQ with Meg Ryan and Tim Robbins. Short Circuit, Treasure Planet (my kids ask for that one over and over again), The Last Mimzy, Nim's Island, Flubber, Parent Trap (old and new -- I love to just stare at Natasha Richardson in the new one - omh, she is so gorgeous), Cheaper by the Dozen 1 and 2, the original Father of the Bride with SPencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. I LOVe old movies so I try to sit and watch with the kids if one comes our way that I particularly love : Bringing up Baby with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn; Christmas in Connecticut with Barbara Stanwyck; alot of Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn (Desk Set).

Kathleen in VA Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Jane Austen fans here too. We especially like the BBC P&P, Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility (Kate Winslet version). Also, Miss Potter (kind of sad, but my 11yo loves it) Jane Eyre (A&E with Ciaran Hinds) Little Women (we like the Winona Ryder version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like old movies too. My mom and sister and I loved to watch the Doris Day movies and anything with Cary Grant. Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee did a couple of cute movies together too. One of our favorites at that age (besides Anne of Green Gables of course and others that have been mentioned) was The Man from Snowy River.

i.love.lucy Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Mine is getting into Jane Austen too. I can't wait to show her Emma and Sense and Sensibility. She recently watched Wives and Daughters and LOVED it. Can't think of anything else that hasn't been mentioned as far as Chick Flicks go.

cougarmom4 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 My dd11 loves Penelope. I'd never seen it advertised, but a friend let us borrow it. It's about a young woman born with a pig nose...and her family hides her away...and her mom spends her days trying to find a young man to fall in love with her despite the nose.

I've been wanting to see Letters to Juliet (heard it was great!) who can forget Ice Castles! :) Tara Letters to Juliet was great! Also, there is a remake of Ice Castles now. It wasn't as good as the first one, but my girls liked it. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken That was one of my faves when I was a girl! How about any of these: The Man in the Moon (Reese Witherspoon) Leap Year (Amy Adams) Confessions of a Shopaholic Inkheart (Brendan Fraser) The Last Song (not really a Miley fan, but I liked this movie) ... all of the others that came to mind have been mentioned a few times. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
