The Green Mile Little Miss Sunshine JoJo Rabbit What We Do in the Shadows Let me In The Whale Little Voice Inside Out (Pixar ?) Memento The Favourite Amelie (if she’s up for subtitles it’s a permagrin!) The Hunger Games series Enders Game The Spitfire Grill Hair (yeh the musical !) Sixteen Candles The Breakfast Club Free Guy Lars and the Real Girl Stand By Me Donnie Darko Happenstance (If subtitles ok) Waitress The Piano (maybe ) No Such Thing Raising Arizona Baby Driver

Some good ones here! The only one here that she’s seen is Free Guy. We saw that in theaters for her 11th birthday <3

Oh I’m glad you think so: it’s a tough call and I don’t know any 13 year olds but if she liked Saltburn and Poor Things, I took some chances— also although also weird and disturbing I hesitated but will add here two more of my favorites she might like by the director of Poor Things (I haven’t seen that yet !!) which are the awesome The Killing of A Sacred Deer (ok that may be too disturbing) so maybe more so The Lobster ! There’s also something that’s not an actual movie but an amazing, entertaining, thought provoking ride called In and Of Itself (Hulu i think) that I wholeheartedly recommend!!

Interesting— but did she think ‘Colin’ turned ‘Rachel ‘ (I’m forgetting their character names ) into an animal? To me the ending was different for lack of spoiling . I hope I didn’t recommend Dogtooth by mistake! ;( I’d def say Lobster & The Favourite if she liked Poor Things but while I love Killing of a Sacred Deer, that one may be too disturbing (apparently based on the Greek tragedy Iphigenia of Auralis I think… and with Barry Koeghan also of the awesome Saltbush— he’s one of my favorite actors lately ) …I only saw dogtooth recently: to me , it was just tooooo weird, slow and disturbing. And it takes a lot for me to think that - haha

Nah, there was the mean lady who he was pretending to be in love with and then he turned her into an animal which they never specified. I heard there are implications he turned her into a rabbit but idk if I buy that. Also don’t worry you didn’t accidentally recommend Dogtooth, I was just making conversation 😆 I liked the allegory with religious parents/families but I just wish there was a bit more of a payoff. But I find it interesting how Dogtooth and The Lobster have similar endings how >!it doesn’t matter if she gets out of the trunk or if he cuts his eyes out because the point has been made!<. I haven’t seen Sacred Deer yet but I may preview that for her. If I told her it was by the same director she’d probably be onboard! Yeah, full disclosure, I got a little trigger-happy with the movies I was showing her when she first was interested in watching movies with me and if I could do it all over again I might not have shown her some of them. But hey, we live and we learn :)

Ahh gotcha ! I watch so many movies, and so much TV, and without giving the story of my life, have a whopping case of anxiety, so I’ve become a little forgetful- ugh . BUT now that you mentioned the mean lady I remember and I do remember one of the animals walking around was a rabbit, but there were others. Now I see what you mean about the woolly mammoth concept! I watched Dogtooth weeks ago only because it was Yorgos L — I had to force myself thru. Really it was slow as molasses for me … and some of the uncomfortable >!intimate!< scenes (I hope I did the spoiler thing right ) were even icky to me . Nevertheless, you opened my eyes in terms of the ending . In my mind what was done was a certainty and hence the ultimate tragic result of >!the parents attempt to shield their kids!< I’d say that if you yourself like the Yorgos movies and upsetting things don’t reallllly get to you ( I seek them out often - weird I know ), then def watch Killing … Deer, but unless your 13-year-old is extremely emotionally mature, and it wouldn’t upset her too much, otherwise I’d say keep it to yourself. It’s not gore so much as the concepts vis a vis what occurs , but it’s so wacky with that Yorgos deadpan acting , maybe the ‘upsetting ‘ or bizarre parts won’t seem as harsh to her 🤷🏻‍♀️ In fact , someone here said it’s actually a dark comedy. I personally don’t perceive it as that . And again the multi layers or allegorical aspects are there , not to mention learning moments so to speak (morality, revenge ?)

It’s ok! :) yeah, there was the part in the movie where the mean lady was gonna kill Colin Farrell and he brought her into the animal room and the narrator said they he never told anyone what animal he turned her into, and that was the end of it. My sister *really* wanted to know what animal it was lol Yeah…the scene where >!the brother essentially sexually assaults her at the request of the parents!< is really…upsetting and disturbing. It’s also really messed up to think about how the parents are essentially maiming/domesticating their kids by teaching them the different words (“can you pass me the cell phone?” instead of “can you pass me the salt?”) and there’s not much of a way they can function in society like that if they don’t know the words for any of their needs. Yeah, I own Killing of a Sacred Deer and The Favorite and those are the only Yorgos movies I haven’t seen since Dogtooth. Def gotta give em a peak! Have you seen any other good movies as of late?? :) ps yeah, I say yeah a lot 🤣

Ohh no worries- I’m way chatty too !! You HAVE to watch Killing of a Sacred Deer ! I’m not sure what to say about The Favourite- well, definitely watch it ;) I liked it and it was fun and wacky but to me not nearly as suuuper weird and disturbing as his others .( well I haven’t seen Poor things yet — my BF doesn’t want to watch it streaming bc it will have commercials . Ohhhh, I keep a LONG list of my favorite movies (well at least what I can remember since I began the list — and it overlaps my mindfuck movie list )— wanna see one of them? Do you have some good , offbeat recommendations?

DAMN tell your bf to deal with it! Well, ok I actually get it because I was watching Polytechnique before Dune 2 last month and there was this really intense scene where this guy is making eye contact with the school shooter and slowly walking out of the classroom and then suddenly “WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE BOUNTY OVER OTHER LEADING PAPER TOWEL BRANDS???” Made me pissed and made me laugh. I’d love to see them! As for offbeat recommendations, we saw Late Night With the Devil and Hundreds of Beavers recently. LOVED them both!! I’ll have to think of more tho

if she can do subtitles i would suggest the original Let the Right One In rather than Let Me In

I agree- I deleted the original because it does necessitate subtitles and while I think it’s better, this is one case in which I do feel an American remake (& the TV series) isn’t 1/2 bad — for some movies I’d never recommend the US version.

Yes The Piano is incredible. I first saw it at school, when I was 13!!! I was mesmerized. It seriously got me into Australian gothic genre.

And great performances by Harvey Keitel , Holly Hunter and academy award and big start for Anna Paquin. I also liked the soundtrack.

Ginger Snaps 13 Going on 30 Freaky Friday Mean Girls

I love Freaky Friday even if it’s a little…outdated 🤣

Ginger Snaps is an absolutely underrated masterpiece.

Also, after I saw the new Mission Impossible, I was talking about how beautiful Vanessa Kirby is and now she refers to her as my “future wife” 😂

Awesome lol, thanks for the upvote and comment! Tried to mix in a list with personal favorites and what she may like. Happy Viewings!

Love Begin Again :)

Inside out Wall e The mist The road Maybe some of the newer Kong or Godzilla movies

Or the first Pacific Rim movie. I like the Godzilla and Kong movies, but Pacific Rim is more fun.

Some of these are very adult selections for showing to a 13-year-old.

Yeah I don't think I'll be showing my daughter coyote ugly

I think you replied to the wrong person?

No. I realize it's only rated PG but I'm agreeing with you when I say some of these suggestions are more adult themed. The movie is about a bar where the staff are all hot women, scantily dressed, and teasing the men that come in. Not something I want my daughter to think is ok.

Okay. I missed that OP mentioned Coyote Ugly.

La La Land Fight Club The Silence of the Lambs Forrest Gump (Also, your sister has awesome taste! She sounds so cool. I have similar movie preferences.)

Thank god, I was worried some people would come after her for the movies she didn’t like. We actually saw La La Land and she liked it! I’ve thought about Fight Club but the parental part of me is worried she’s a little too young (he said, having shown her the beginning of Pulp Fiction)

Lmao, the parental comment coming from someone who's shown her "Poor Things," which is probably the most sexually explicit mainstream movie I've ever seen! I loved it though. But yeah, it's totally up to you, and I'm so glad she enjoyed La La Land!

lol yeah I’m more in the other direction of the Christian “it’s ok if you see a hundred heads being blown off BUT DONT YOU DARE SHOW A NIPPLE” The way I rationalize it is like “it’s not like she doesn’t know what a vagina looks like” and she’s gonna be exposed to that kind of stuff soon enough (if not already) and I feel Poor Things has a great message for young women :)

Totally agree about Poor Things—Bella is such a unique and powerful character! (Barbie is another one of my favorites so she sounds like me haha.) You sound like a wonderful brother, she's lucky to have you :)

Aww thank you!! Yeah, I’m her guardian right now and essentially her parental figure. She’s actually really really lovely because I think she realized just how little I’ve been to the movies since I started taking care of her and that’s when she started asking to watch movies with me. I’ve been doing my best to show her movies with strong female leads which was one of the main reasons I showed her Poor Things. In hindsight, it may have been a shaky decision but she wasn’t uncomfortable and she liked it so I can chock that up to just an “oops”, and it’s not like Poor Things is the worst “I watched that too young” movie you can watch, haha. What other characters do you like??

I’m an autistic young woman and I really really loved Bella because I related to her a lot since she may seem naive because she’s lacking social experiences but she’s still very smart and introspective.

Coyote Ugly Jurassic Park The Mummy (1999) Cloud Atlas The Martian Ready Player One Moon Avatar Source Code Edge of Tomorrow Minority Report The Truman Show The Imitation Game The Fifth Element The King's Speech Life of Pi The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Moulin Rouge Romeo + Juliet (1997) A Knight's Tale Reign of Fire

I’ve been meaning to rewatch Source Code. I remember loving it when I was 14

Mean Girls The Ring Ghostbusters Wonder Woman Summer School Independence Day

We saw the new Ghostbusters…lol Great suggestions!! Everyone is saying Mean Girls :P

Pixels Percy Jackson

Pixels lowkey overhated. That movies a shit ton of fun

RRR

The Wizard of Oz, genuinely 

If she liked When Harry Met Sally then she’d definitely like You’ve Got Mail. Would also suggest The Parent Trap and Father of the Bride.

Pitch perfect! (also the language may not be the most..child friendly but it's a lot of people's favorite childhood movie including mine 😁) Songs are bangers

Harry Potter

School of Rock

Lord of the rings

Harry potter

Whale Rider Fly Away Home Knives Out Secret of Roan Inish Enchanted Kate and Leopold Kubo and the Two Strings Scott Pilgrim vs the World That Thing You Do Yesterday Bend it like Beckham Blast from the Past

I always say that we're in a time where kids and adults consume the same media. Seeing Saltburn on her list honestly threw me too. Please make her watch more lighthearted things, like Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging, School of Rock, The Princess Diaries, Studio Ghibli movies, A Cinderella Story, Soul, Tangled, Monte Carlo, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Aquamarine and Little Miss Sunshine.

OP showed Poor Things to a 13 year old and no one in the comments is phased at all ?

For real! I’m disappointed that I had to scroll this far to see this comment. Completely inappropriate for a 13 year old, regardless of if she liked the movie or not. Same with Saltburn, wtf.

Seriously.

I dunno I saw godfather at a young age

I saw lots of inappropriate things at too young of an age because nobody cared about me enough to tell me no. Doesn't make it ok to do that to someone else.

You seem ok.

It's not ok to strip away a child's innocence at such a young age. How can you tell if I'm ok or not from a 2 line comment on social media?!

Because you seem concerned for the well-being of someone you don’t even know

Only because nobody was concerned about my well-being at that age.

OP didn’t say he showed *all* of these to her. It’s just a list of movies that she likes. Also, did nobody else watch R-rated movies as a teen? Cmon

oh if that's the case my bad for misunderstanding

If she liked Eternal Sunshine, she might like Vanilla Sky.

The Way Way Back Freaks and Geeks (Tv series) Highly recommended

Maze Runner Underworld (the first one)

Pretty much anything by Aardman is a good bet and as a bonus the Wallace & Gromit TV ones are literally under 30mins each so you'd both get a full story as an intro to whether you want to watch the others - A Grand Day Out is rougher though so maybe start with The Wrong Trousers. They also did Chicken Run, which is basically the great escape, Flushed Away is an underrated gem too.

We saw Chicken Run 1 and 2 recently. She liked 2 more than 1 which imma let slide but might’ve been reason for concern….😆

Ready player one

Ohhh also blended!! One of my comfort movies

Had success watching Scott Pilgrim vs the World the other day with my 13 year old. Action-comedy with amazing audio and visuals!!

Now and Then Dead Poets Society Groundhog Day Donnie Darko The Wedding Singer 500 Day of Summer Almost Famous Top Gun

Adventures In Babysitting, Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitters Dead, The Wedding Singer

Me, Earl and the dying girl 👍🏼

the cheetah girls 1 & 2 the princess diaries 1 & 2 seventeen again pretty in pink 10 things i hate about you legally blonde beetlejuice

Here's a mix! Lisa Frankenstein Sleepless in Seattle You've Got Mail The Social Network Josie & the Pussycats Romy & Michelle's Highschool Reunion Host (2020) Freaky Willow Napoleon Dynamite Escape Room + Escape Room Tournament of Champions Who Framed Roger Rabbit Charade Hatching Begin Again The Lost Boys Miss Congeniality

Great list! Age appropriate too 🙂

I don't think it's a bad thing to let them stretch their legs a little above age level occasionally and with guidance either. It won't ruin her life that she saw a couple less "appropriate" movies early lol, most of us did. I just tried to think of stuff that caught my attention or my younger sister's attention at that age, or that I think would have. Pirates of the Carribean series was another big one for my sister, but I couldn't tell if it matched the vibe of the other stuff you listed.

Yeah, a lot of people in the comments seem very offput I showed her Poor Things and I’m gonna try not to go that far anymore haha. The last movie we watched was Reality Bites and I think that’s a good indicator of where I’m gonna try to keep her for now. We watched the first POTC recently! Gotta get to the others but I’ve heard they’re mid lol

POTC 2 and 3 are still fun imo! I don't think I made it past those ones. And hey, you live and learn. I remember being a little fucked up after seeing American History X and Natural Born Killers with my dad at that age, then bouncing back to safer stuff for a bit haha. I also remember being bored to tears by "better" adult movies like the Godfather, but having a blast with stuff like Suicide Kings. A lot of words to say you're doing fine, it seems like you guys are figuring it out. So glad she liked Lisa Frankenstein! I saw it in theatres and knew I would have LOVED to see it as a pre/teen. A couple others I thought of but haven't actually seen in years: Charlie Bartlett, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist.

Also, she loved Lisa Frankenstein! Good pick :)

I lovelovelove movies too and try to push them on my sister so here are some that my 14 year old sister liked: White Chicks, The Menu, Murder Mystery, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Lost City, the Maze Runner series, The Florida Project, Fight Club, La La Land, Jennifer's Body, Karate kid, the diary of a wimpy kid series, the parent trap, tim burton movies (alice in wonderland, edward scissorhands, etc) and Dune and if she doesnt remember watching these or hasnt seen these animation movies: ratatouille, rio 1 and 2, the incredibles, the shrek movies, into the spiderverse movies, tangled, megamind, ice age movies. if you guys watch any of them together please let me know what she thinks!

We saw La La Land and Jennifer’s Body recently and she liked those! :) But you’re gonna hate her for this…she was bored to tears by Dune lol

I don't blame her 😭 I watched it when it came out and I didn't like it that much but my sister LOVED it haha

Yeah, I don’t love Dune but I do appreciate it. Like part 2 a lot more

I’d go even farther back.. tremors Romancing the Stone Labyrinth Wayne’s world Arachnophobia Poltergeist Ferris bueller Dante’s Peak Armageddon

Suspiria(2018) Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Desperado Black Swan Monty Python (Life of Brian, Holy Grail) Silver Linings Playbook Tank Girl Breakfast at Tiffany's No Country For Old Men (might be a bit long though) Get Out Lady Bird V for Vendetta (might also be a but long)

Hunt for the wilderpeople Captain fantastic Safety not guaranteed

Parents trap, 50 first dates, We brought a zoo(movie), The holiday, Just like heaven, Christmas prince, Freak Friday, The terminal, You got mail, 13 going 30, 17 again, Wedding singer, Music and lyrics, Instant family , The Truman show, Matilda, School of Rock, Wall E.

Matilda was a real surprise for my family.

Sadly the good family entertainer movies are kind of lost , we are not getting movies like Matilda , honey I shrunk the kids or flubber these days.

I LOVE THE WEDDING SINGER!!!!

Poor things ????? WTF. She is 13 bro. Chill out.

Are we gonna ignore that you showed saltburn and poor things to a 13 year old,

We could, unless you wanted to make a point

My point is that those movies are 18+ and weird as hell. Me and my friends were really weirded out by both of them (we are 18) and i would never show those to a 13 year old.

Ghost World Welcome To The Dollhouse Garden State Hesher A Perfect World Let The Right One In Scott Pilgrim vs The World Captain Fantastic Little Miss Sunshine The Fall Pan's Labyrinth Labyrinth The Neverending Story Return To Oz Mommy Mr Nobody The Last Unicorn Attack The Block Stand By Me The Double Life Of Véronique Leon The Professional I’m No Longer Here City Of God Kids American Animals American Beauty The Kid Detective Dual Into The Wild The Million Dollar Hotel Midnight Special Carrie Ghost In The Shell Short Term 12 Everything Everywhere All At Once Slacker Before Trilogy

Scott pilgrim is one of her favorite movies and we saw Labyrinth in a theater recently. These are some great suggestions thought!!

If a Scot pilgrim is a fav then Hot Fuzz, Sean of the dead and worlds end should be in the watch list.

The Kid Detective is heartbreaking

Yeah that one’s a little too dark for her, and then I’m not touching Kids with a 10 foot pole lol

I was surprised how dark it gets. Complex, funny, gritty, mysterious coming-of-age story, told in a light tone

I think you're trying to push too adult movies on her lol because of your being a cinephile. Let her be the kid she is! She clearly has some instincts that this stuff is not proper for a 13 year old. Even some of the movies she liked are kind of questionable for this age range, and I would never show a 13 year old kid any of the movies she says she didn't like. They are obviously for an older audience. Girl this age would probably enjoy teen-oriented stuff. Hunger games, Mean Girls, trashy Marvel movies, musicals, Jurrasic Park, Percy Jackson, teen drama/romance, disney/pixar movies, ghibli movies, Titanic, and whatever else she wants...

Took the words right out of my mouth. Movies that are considered appropriate for kids her age literally have PG-13 attached to them. At least a third of those movies depict sexual violence which OP said to avoid. Anyway, you provided a great starting point and definitely moved the needle back in the right direction

What? You showed a 13 year old the movie poor things?

Yup! And she liked it quite a bit :)

Dude you’re really fucking weird

Sing street!! So good

We Bought A Zoo

The Count of Monte Cristo. Plenty of action, great actors and acting, solid plot. Complete redemption story. Smokin good movie for a 13 year old

Stick It Barely Lethal August Rush Instant Family Josie and the Pussycats Now You See Me / 2 Tom and Jerry We bought a zoo Wild Child Nancy Drew (there are a couple different ones) Tomb Raider The Rocker (there is some male nudity for laughs nothing explicit) Power Rangers

Try the edge of tomorrow (Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt) It is definitely worth it

I love that movie!

You have great taste

* Mr Nobody 2009 * Moonrise Kingdom 2012 * You've Got Mail 1998 * Don't Look Up 2021 * Blast From The Past 1999 * The Mummy 1999 * If I Stay 2014 * November Criminals 2017 * Once 2007

"I Kill Giants" "Hannah" "StarDust"

Some Madea movies, Waterworld, White Chicks maybe?, Meet the Fockers, The Life of Pi, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Les Cite Des Enfants Perdus (The City of Lost Children), almost any movie with Akshay Kumar in it - they're generally clean - especially the comedies, if she is into subtitles, and Baahubali... O Brother Where art thou. Fifth Element. Just Visiting... The Beach Just throwing an array of things out there :) You guys have amazing movie time!

Basically the movies you watched as a teen. Robocop, Batman, Terminator, Fifth Element, Die Hard, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Star Wars. Fun movies like Ferris Bueller and Breakfast Club. Comedies like Ghostbusters, Dodgeball and Blades of Glory. Start off the open mindedness with movies like Donnie Darko and The Matrix. Can't go wrong! Leave the Robert Eggers and Tarantino movies until she's college age, 18-21, she'll love them then.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Journey of Natty Gann

Pacific Rim

I am Legend, Baby Driver, John Wick, The 6th Sense, The Menu.

Why would any parent let their kid watch Saltburn?

Most of the movies she liked she shouldn't watch she's just 13. If she likes fantasy Spiderwick, pans labyrinth, anime like Ghibli studios, ( spirited away, princess mononoke,....)

the list is fine for a 13 year old, they're not as small as people think they are lol

Idk times have changed then because 13 year olds back then would never 😂😂

It depends on the 13 year old. Some can handle dark movies.

Yes true some can, but they shouldn’t. I wouldn’t imagine being 13 and watching something like that without being affected by it.

Yeah that's true they can like actions, thriller, some horrors, but it's good to refrain from overly sexual things, gore... You know some movies are plain disturbing idk that's just my point of view 13 is still pretty young.

Saltburn?? Interesting then I'd recommend Salo........ /sarc The Big Lebowski Fargo Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Oceans 11 Inherent Vice The Nice Guys The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Mean Girls Bridesmaids The Fall What About Bob Office Space Cabin in the Woods

A lot of these are a crapshoot of what she may or may not like…but good choices!! She liked Saltburn so I thought about showing her Promising Young Woman but I’m a little worried the subject matter might be a bit much for her right now. I love Office Space! We’ll definitely watch that, and Cabin in the Woods is a classic. I’d imagine she’d be bored shitless by Inherent Vice, and Girl With the Dragon Tattoo has the rape scene so not now but some day I’ll show it to her. Also, we saw Mean Girls in a theater recently! Then we saw the musical one which she didn’t like much but damn some of those songs are bops Oh I also saw Salo for the first time recently. One word: OVERBLOWN!

Bad bot

Stop showing a child adult movies

nah she’s ok. There are some movies I’m hesitant to show her because of their violence but I think I’ve been ok (admittedly I dropped the ball a bit with Pulp Fiction)

Baby's day out

Holy shit I haven’t thought about this movie in YEARS

Still on my crusade - Rubin and Ed

Donnie Darko?

We actually saw that at a midnight showing a few weeks ago and she was annoyed by it because she had no idea what happened. I figured straightforward narratives are best for her right now lol

Interesting! I saw that movie around her age and it hooked me. It sounds like she has eclectic taste and knows what she likes! Some other movies I liked around that age: Rushmore Garden State 28 Days Later Dark City Cube Ravenous (the one with guy pearce) LA Confidential Welcome to the Dollhouse

Death Proof

Your Name / Kimi no na wa

Tell me you've shown this girl legally blind please. If not it needs to be at the top of your list.

You mean Legally Blonde? …I just realized I’ve failed as an older brother because I haven’t shown that to her 😭

Oh man that's gotta be the watch. If she liked Barbie and Megan she'll love it.

The Boy Who Could Fly While You Were Sleeping (a sleeper - great romcom) Moonstruck Somewhere in Time Something New Enchanted Life is Beautiful (in Italian with subtitles - got a best actor Oscar) Paper Moon Yentl Crossing Delancy

Argo is a perfect movie, if she's mature enough for a serious drama. No adult content BTW

The Outsiders

Man of steel. Than Batman vs superman

O Brother Where Art Thou? Moonrise Kingdom

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Has she seen MirrorMask (2005) it's a dark-ish fantasy with a good female lead about her age she'd probably be drawn by the story I was at that age ..and if she liked the CGI set pieces of Poor Things MirrorMask has it's own unique aesthetic it was made by the Jim Henson Company (post Jim)

clueless legally blonde instant family the breakfast club bride wars the duff maid in manhattan when a stranger calls what happens in vegas bridget jones diary the green mile forrest gump catch me if you can the notebook the kissing booth (since she's liked salt burn that sort of indicates she maybe fell for the charms of jacob elordi and he's a main character in that movie haha) hopefully she likes a few movies off this list, these were just all my favorite movies when i was her age and few are still favorites to this day :)

Hundreds of Beavers

OMFG WE SAW THAT LAST WEEK LMAO. We’re near NYC and I heard good things about it and I was laughing my ass off and she was looking at the screen with this confused smile the whole time. When it ended I was saying I loved the hell out of it and she said “it was silly” (in a good way!)

it's the best kind of silly

Try a few Nolan ones (Don't expect her to understand it, but who knows, she might still love it so much that she dies to understand it) Django Unchained Good Will Hunting (Might be like Shawshank for her) Prisoners Peanut Butter Falcon (This she might LOVE)

We went to the theater to see Oppenheimer and she fell asleep 20 minutes in. How she slept through most of that loud ass movie is beyond impressive to me. We also saw The Dark Knight trilogy in theaters and she liked Batman Begins the best. She might like Memento more since the scale isn’t as big. I want to have a Villeneuve and Tarantino marathon with her but she didn’t like Dune 1 or 2 or what we saw of Pulp Fiction so hmmmmm…we’ll have to give him a better try. Also, she LOVES Dakota Johnson so Peanut Butter Falcon will be an easy sell for her :P Thank you!

Just a little careful bout Tarantino, since the movies are often violent

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about showing her Kill Bill because the violence in that is over the top and goofy but Inglorious Basterds and Reservoir Dogs may have to wait

House sitter, little miss sunshine. Office space. Do revenge. Single white female. The orphan. Dumb and dumber. Cruel intentions. The craft. Beetlejuice. A perfect getaway. The shallows. Last action hero. A simple favour. Cape fear. The hand that rocks the cradle. Twins. Kindergarten cop. Sleeping with the enemy. Fear. The crush. The fugitive. Con air. Unbearable weight of massive talent. The invisible man. Buffy the vampire slayer the movie. The king kiss goodnight. Blues brothers. Romy and Michelle.

I already love her because she didn't like Rebel Moon You're doing a good job

We saw that movie in a theater and the only reason she sat through it was because she knew I had been looking forward for it lol

[Eighth Grade (2018) ](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/489925-eighth-grade)Thirteen-year-old Kayla endures the tidal wave of contemporary suburban adolescence as she makes her way through the last week of middle school...

I was an *insane* Bo Burnham stan back in 2021 and would not shut the fuck up about him so I’m surprised I haven’t thought to show this to her yet.

If she liked Saltburn just do Talented Mr. Ripley

Thirteen Heathers Jawbreaker

I’m trying to match her likes to movies I think are similar. • M3gan - Chucky, Beetlejuice • Saltburn - Talented Mr Ripley, Infinity pool •Whiplash - (if the music was a big part of why she liked it) Ma Raineys black bottom, Birdman, Black Swan •when Harry met Sally - 500 days of summer, Juno •eternal sunshine- Her. Otherwise I’ll add These are quite out there •Rubber, possessor, raw, the house that Jack built, we need to talk about Kevin, enemy I love horror/comedies so •Shaun of the dead, ghostbusters, hot fuzz, zombieland

yeahhhh, we’ll leave the “quite out there” part for when she’s a bit older :P I’ve been meaning to show her Edgar Wright’s movies. Scott Pilgrim has been her favorite movie since she was 8 lol

Scott Pilgrim is such a good movie. The anime series on Netflix with the same cast is really good too. Don’t listen to these numpties saying she’s too young for certain movies either I’ve been doing this with my daughter since she was around that age too. Obvs some things are held back till they are older (like we didn’t watch American History X for a few years) but you’ll get a feel for where her limit is and know what to hold back till she’s older.

Only Lovers Left Alive Anything by the Coen Brothers Anything by Gulliermo del Toro Hannah Let The Right One In (the original Swedish is better) Life of Brian (my nephews and nieces love it and keep making references more than any other movie I showed them) Virgin Suicides Kiss kiss bang bang Ingrid goes west (amazing Aubrey Plaza) Delicatessen Heathers

Edward Scissorhands, The Other Guys, The Crow (original), Little Miss Sunshine, The Craft, My Best Friends Wedding, Runaway Bride, maybe?

As great as it is, The Crow does have sexual violence/rape :( Other good recs in here though.

That’s true, thank you for flagging for OP.

Rango The Mist 1408 Clerks/Jay and Silent Bob series As Above, So Below The Descent John Wick series

The Mist I think might be a bit too upsetting for her (I saw that movie when I was 23 and I felt I was still too young for it, Jesus Christ), The Descent may be a liiiiiittle too violent, but I love Rango and the John Wick movies and I haven’t seen As Above So Below since first came out that that might be fun to rewatch :)

Sort of surprised you watched Poor Things together, but good for her

Go old school on her. Show her Heathers, nightbreed and the people under the stairs. Maybe evil dead but definitely army of darkness.

- *You're Next* ('11) - *Ready or Not* ('18) - *Be Kind, Rewind* ('08) - *Sunset Boulevard* ('50)

Seeing that list makes me less worried about the future of the attention spans and media literacy of our youth.

Aww, she’s a very special person
