Movie suggestions for 14 yr old girl...broken foot. Update: brother is joing her

[KatieJ]

Granddaughter broke her foot and has severe bruising. She is on weight bearing, elevation and ice restrictions for quite a while. She may end up,with surgery . They are waiting on a CT scan. Insurance issues. Sigh. 

Netflix movie or series suggestions would be great. 

 

Update:   Thanks for all the suggestions!  I am sure she will be happily sorting that list today. 

Her older brother had his wisdom teeth out this morning.  It will be a movie marathon at their house this weekend!

Everybody has their own line in the sand they won't cross so it can be tricky to suggest movies for someone else's kids...

Here's a few suggestions

Eureka

Travelers

NCIS

Sense and Sensibility (Emma Thompson one is my preferred)

Pride and Prejudice 

Little Women (Winona Rider's)

Young Victoria

Always (movie with Holly Hunter)

Battlestar Gallactica

House

Going Postal (if she like quirky)

We just watched the new baby sitters club and my kids loved it.

The younger kiddo is the same age, and the two of us just watched Avatar, the Last Airbender (series, NOT movie) on Netflix and now we're watching Kipo and also The Dragon Prince.

Non-animation wise, we also binged The Umbrella Academy overnight, though you may want to prescreen for content.

[Beth S]

Larkrise to Candleford
Joan of Arcadia
Lots of Dickens, Austen, George Elliot adaptions (costume dramas)
I have no idea what's on Netflix, but our local library also has hoopladigital, which is an electronic resource for e-books, audiobooks & movies.
I've loved my free Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscription (self-published books of all types--crafts, fiction, etc.)

Best wishes for quick (patient) healing of your granddaughter!

I guess these movies are older (since my kids are older), but for a distraction at that age I like Enchanted and Ramona and Beezus. Depending on her interests, maybe the long Pride and Prejudice set. My kids would love a Harry Potter marathon.

Knives Out

Catch Me If You Can

Ocean's 11

Gone in 60 Seconds

The Mummy (1999)

The series Glow Up is a fun competition for make-up artists.

I second the baking competition Sugar Rush.

Update:  Her older brother had his wisdom teeth out this am.  I am sure this list will be sorted and many watched over the next few days.

@KatieinMich, wishing both children a good recovery.
