skimomma Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 My dd is turning 11 and she is having her first slumber party. We would like to have a handful of movies for the girls to watch if they run out of other things to do throughout the night. Dd does not really watch a lot of movies and we do not have TV so are a little clueless as to what is out there. Some of her guests come from conservative families so anything they watch really needs to be PG or G. The ages of the girls span 9-13. Anyone have movie recommendations that are not lame (the 13 yos are not going to want to watch cartoons for instance) but also suitable for kids as young as 9? The movies can be older or current.

Chris in VA Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Nim's Island is a favorite here. Any of the Narnia movies, but esp the first one (I don't really like how they changed Prince Caspian). The Wizard of Oz? Has magic, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostSurprise Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Fly Away Home Ella Enchanted The Princess Diaries The Princess Bride The Secret Garden Akeelah and the Bee The Parent Trap Freaky Friday Cartoons, but 13 years should be fine (at least mine were): Howl's Moving Castle Kiki's Delivery Service Spirited Away (perhaps a little too intense for 9, mine was fine but wanted to sit near me during the beginning) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
