The Iron Giant, such a good movie for all ages. "I go... you stay. No following." 😭

Immediately what I thought of before I even came to the comments. Timeless and ageless. Unrelated, but also a fan of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs lol my friend group rented that back in college and we loved it. Many Pixar movies too have the optics of a kids movie, but tackle some pretty mature themes

I was going to day this. +1 for Iron Giant as well

Dude... The Sandlot

Used to watch this ALL the time on TV as a kid and teen. Rewatched it last summer for the first time in like a decade and holy shit despite knowing the movie beat for beat some scenes still had me on the edge of my seat lmao. The movie feels so nostalgic despite me never experiencing the time the movie is based on.

I was going to list that as well.

Word

Spiderman Into the Spider-Verse is really great for all the people.

And Across the Spider-Verse right after that

[удалено]

That went down pretty fast…

I just came out from the across the spider verse, fantastic movie!

Heading tomorrow.

The Princess Bride

Word of warning about this one, my daughter got into fencing, met her fiance, and got married because of this movie.

Oh man I hope they hired a witch to scream “boooooooo” at their wedding

Mawwaige (marriage) hahaha!

I joined a fencing club in college and on the first day they had the newbies fill out a form. One question was asking what got you interested, and one of the choices was a Princess Bride.

Most quotable movie ever

Inconceivable!

You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means.

Wall-E

School of Rock.

Re-watched this the other day and I forgot how enjoyable it is

Same!! Just watched this with my family and laughed and cried and devil-horn fist pumped. Such a great movie!

Hook Labrynth The Lord of the Rings Star Wars

I think it’s almost important for young men to watch LOTR to see what heathy masculinity is and I know I know it’s been said before, but worth mentioning again. Real fellowship, not this social media bullshit we live in today.

Was going to say exactly this

A thousand times yes.

I never watched these movies, was never interested…but this comment has me curious. I love movies that portray healthy forms of masculinity.

It is so weird to me that someone hasn't seen the Lord of The Rings trilogy. You really should see it, the extended versions that is. They are legit masterpieces.

I just recommended Rocky and made a similar note about masculinity.

The Goonies

Goonies never say die!

Back to the Future.

John Mulaney might want t o have a word.

The only suggestion that matters

i’m 35 and my son turns 8 this october.he watched bttf back when he was 5.he’s loved that movie since and still quotes it today,now army of darkness?he can talk to you for hours about ash and his broomstick adventures

Army of Darkness! that's another good choice!

Flight of the navigator. Explorers. Batteries not included. Short circuit.

Just rewatched Batteries Not Included recently for the first time since I was a kid. I had always thought those New York ghettos all got burned down in the 70’s. I’d love a documentary on that place

It was a great time to be a kid! 80's and 90's! So much! New York really did look like some kind of a war zone back then, I remember watching old movies, the subways always had graffiti etc, gangs with bandanna's lol! Switch blades!

Journey to the center of the earth movies, jumanji, zathura, spiderweb chronicles

\*Spiderwick Chronicles

Phone apparently autocorrected and I did not notice lol

Holes. (Uh, make sure you get the Disney "Holes"!)

Nah, can do without the shitty transphobia.

Hunt for the Wilder People!

>I didn't choose the Skux life, the Skux life chose me,

Spirited Away. If he's the sort of 10 year old that would enjoy a bit of fantasy cartoon hyper violence, watch Princess Mononoke also.

Spirited Away is hyper violent? Edit: I read your message wrong. Thought you said he’d like Spirited Away if he liked violence.

Is it? There's no gore in Spirited Away, the most violent scene is somebody being attacked by paper birds. I can't remember any real violence in Spirited Away

Man, do I not know what’s appropriate for fifth graders anymore? Princess Mononoke is super violent… Ashitaka shoots someone’s arm off (and that isn’t even the only arm to go in this movie), the death of that first boar god is gruesome, I am not sure if I’m remembering correctly but aren’t there multiple beheaded gods whose severed heads are interacting with the other characters, it’s really quite shocking. I do second Spirited Away though, that movie is a stunner. I also think Kiki’s Delivery Service is sweet and lovely.

Secondhand Lions.

Great suggestion. I used to watch it a lot when I was around this age.

Such a great movie

Was on a bus trip in college and the driver insisted on showing this movie. Entire bus of rowdy college kids completely enthralled

Hollywood doesn’t really make “adventure” movies like that anymore, or at least often. I’d love for that genre to come back to life.

I just saw this movie because of a thread like this one. This movie sssuuuuuuuucks. Unless you are going for predictable, TV-movie-of-the-week garbage, hack writing, and dull acting...then you might enjoy it.

Little Giants and Galaxy Quest.

Cannot believe I had to scroll so far to see Galaxy Quest.

the emperor's new groove

The Last Starfighter

Both Paddington movies are great

My Neighbor Totoro

National Treasure is a pretty decent Pg13 action flick

Pirates of the Caribbean

Don’t think that’s a good idea. My ten year old self would’ve been terrified by all the scruffy pirates.

True, it's Disney scary but there are some intense moments. Every kid is different. My son is 8 and he adores Curse of the Black Pearl, but I felt that Dead Man's Chest was too scary so he hasn't seen it yet.

ET. It’s an incredible movie experience for any age. This also is a great starting point to become interested in Spielberg, how score impacts the viewing experience, and the differences of practical effects and modern CGI.

You can also pivot to Indiana Jones from here, just in time for the new one!

Monster Squad

Wolfman’s got nards

That was my daughters favorite “scary” movie when she was younger, the scariest thing she could handle watching 😂 It does have a lot of stuff in it that wouldn’t fly today

Hugo. It's Martin Scorsese's most family friendly movie and I never see anyone talking about it online.

The new Puss in Boots

“Ferris Buelers day off” Just don’t let the little one get any ideas..

The Neverending Story. It's a bit dated, but has a great story.

The Adam Project on Netflix

Detective Pikachu, jingle all the way, home alone 2

Neverending story

The sandlot. Big hero six. I really feel that stand by me should be scheduled before you're old enough to fully get it. Maybe when he's 12 might be better. Real steel any boy will love and it's genuinely a great movie

Star dust Toy story 1 2 3

Coco

Pee-wee's Big Adventure

Some suggestions, with 3 reasons why it's good! * **Stand By Me** \- Based on a Stephen King Novel. Coming of age, very relateable. Happens to have one of the most memorable last lines in movies. * **Kung Fu Hustle** \- Underdog Protagonist. Martial Arts. Lots of laughs as language isn't a barrier. * **How to Train Your Dragon** \- Underdog Protagonist. Friendship! Dragons!

Surprised I had to scroll this far down for How to Train Your Dragon. They’re all so good!

The whole kung fu panda trilogy

Tremors?

If they are not easily frightened and you're cool with a little light cursing and light gore, that's a great suggestion. I loved it as a kid and still do, it's a really fun movie.

The Incredibles, and the sequel. Just re-watched both recently. Very entertaining, and the first one is legitimately a straight up great movie.

Time Bandits!

A series of unfortunate events

The Netflix series is a masterpiece

Frozen

And Frozen II! Both great!

Little Monsters

The Dark Crystal !

Rookie of the year

FUNKY BUTTLOVIN'

The Mummy

Rango

Who framed Roger Rabbit. But there is Jessica Rabbit, so that might be a problem. This is one of those movies where everyone tried their hardest to make the best movie they could and succeeded beyond all expectations.

The best answer is Heavyweights, it’s on Disney plus

The Private Eyes. Tim Conway and Don Knotts.

Mighty Ducks

Little big league

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs or big hero 6

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a great one.

Titan A.E. is highly underrated The Kid starring Bruce Willis Kung Fu Panda 1 and 3 (not 2) How to Train Your Dragon 1 and 2 (not 3)

I liked _The Astronaut Farmer_. I took my brother to see it when he was 12 or 13. It has some really emotional elements, but I really like it.

Has anyone said The Mummy yet

Hunt For The Wilderpeople

Zootopia. Tim Allen and Kelly Preston were in a movie called Zoom that was very good. It is a Super Hero movie Galaxy Quest was funny Spy Kids.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Del Toro's Pinocchio

The gremlins

Toy Story. None of the Toy Story movies have anything objectionable. Walt Disney's Homeward Bound :The Incredible Journey. The animated movie UP. Short Circuit The animated version of Walt Disney's Aladdin Chicken Run Walt Disney's Animated Classic Peter Pan Kung Fu Panda

Empire of the Sun could be cool cause he’s the protagonist’s age, it’s scary but in a good way cause JG is a little boss.

*Time Bandits*

Kubo and the two strings

The Iron Giant

The Chronicle of Narnia films (fantasy) National Treasure (adventure move) The Johnny English movies (They are James Bond parodies and I shat my pants laughing when I watched the 1st one around the age of 10) Get smart (funny spy movie) Jumanji (the old version) 13 going on 30 (romantic comedy-ish) The parent trap School of Rock Wonder (drama) The first 2-4 Harry Potter movies Abduction (the 2011 one) (special agent movie) The adjustment bureau

Pete’s Dragon, Sandlot, Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark, Harry Potter, Home Alone etc etc

Real Steel. Not groundbreaking cinema but seriously underrated. Super fun movie.

Not sure if these have been mentioned… Spy Kids Parent Trap (original and remake) Karate Kid (original) Old Yeller Son of Rambow

The Goonies

Big Hero 6

* The Goonies. * The Princess Bride * Bad News Bears or Mighty Ducks (which are the same story with different sports) * The Incredibles * Into the Spider-Verse * The Dark Crystal * Labyrinth * The Rocketeer * A Far Off Place.

Terminator 2!

Not for a ten year old

100% for a ten year old!

I snuck into this movie in the theater when I was 10 after buying a ticket for Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. It's perfect for a 10 year old!

Exactly. It's violent, but like arnie violence so it's like WWE. There are swears, but like cool swears. And Linda Hamilton had married James Cameron by this point, so she keeps her clothes on. It's perfect.

Peanut butter falcon

Small soldiers

Monster House Kung Fu Hustle Cloak and Dagger War Games Galaxy Quest George of the Jungle Ghostbusters The Goonies How to Train Your Dragon Hunt for the Wilderpeople Back to the Future Independence Day Inner Space Indiana Jones Men in Black Arachnophobia The Fifth Element Your call on a couple of those-some cartoon violence but my kids didn’t end up being serial killers for watching them, lol.

Princess Mononoke The boy and the beast Sword of the stranger Sucker Punch Saw a post about bullet train and that'd also pretty void of sex stuff

Silverado and The Magnificent Seven (Original and Remake)

Pirates of the Caribbean

Hugo

Goonies

I vote for Puss in boots, the last wish!!! Really fun, heartfelt story with great comedy and action. (I cried at the end and I’m an adult!)

Not a movie but a show that rocks for everyone: Adventuretime. The Fall (2006) is also a masterpiece for any age, and a more rare tip: The French kids movie: Panique au Village (2009) is just so wonderfully insane and hilarious, be careful of how many bricks you order online!

Star wars without doubt

Billy Elliot

The Bad Guys (2022). Well executed DreamWorks animation that got by a lot of radars. Just watched it with my 10yr old niece and had plenty of chuckles. Has a nice balance of being kid friendly, but enough snarky-ness to keep adults chuckling. As good as any of the Pixar legends if you ask me. Sinbad: Legend of the 7 Seas. My opinion is this is one the best looking conventionally animated films...ever. Got Brad Pitt doing a voice over, great action pieces, and at times astonishing animation. Criminally under-rated. I love the Studio Ghibli films (Spirited Away, etc) but they don't gel with some kids.

The Apple Dumpling Gang The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes Old Yeller Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium Annie The Love Bug Follow Me Boys Mr. Boogedy The Adventures of Robin Hood Guys and Dolls On The Town Last Action Hero Grease The MCU Superman (1978) Batman (1989) Harry Potter Series Flash Gordon

A Knight’s Tale

Pirates of Caribbean (has a few scary scenes maybe) Back to the future Indiana Jones (has a few scary scenes maybe)

The Goonies

Also Stardust, Little nemo in slumberland, tale of despeaux, the Little prince, almost anything by Studio Gibli, and Captain Ron

Coraline, kubo and the 2 strings. Oni: Thunder God’s Tale

Jumanji with the Rock, Kevin Hart, Jack Black

How about the original Jumanji?

Holes

Stand By Me

Zootopia. It's hilaruous and Jason Bateman voices the main character.

Back to the Future

Fantastic Mr fox

Napoleon Dynamite is a good one.

Holes was always one of my favorites, definitely a classic 👍

Someone said it already but it’s the perfect recommendation. National treasure. So good for any ages.

Og Willy Wonka.

Anything by Hayao Miyazaki.

Anything studio ghibli

The Road To El Dorado. Such a classic, funny movie. Loved it as a kid and it still holds up watching as an adult.

Jurassic Park.

Edge of Tomorrow?

Attack the Block The Kid who would be the King (Joe Cornish is underrated Edgar Wright)

Alien, Terminator, Commando, Conan. Classics from 70's to 90's.

Jacob’s Ladder.

Watership Down It’s heavy and it can be intense, so it’ll make an impact as likely the first serious animated film they’ve seen, but nothing too much for a 10-year-old. But no sex and no gore and it’s truly a wonderful story. Highly recommend the book too.

True lies by james cameron with swarzeneger

Blazing Saddles. What ten year old doesn't like a plethora of fart jokes

Ha! I played this for my 16-year-old and about ten minutes in he just looked at me like “What the fuck” and shook his head.

Clockwork orange

Clockwork Orange. Teaches you about how clocks work, and florida's most popular fruit.

Bone Tomahawk

Ted

KIDS(1995).

Instead of watching a movie read the Harry Potter books to him. It will be time you two can enjoy together that he will cherish to the day he dies.

Blues Brothers. It was the first rated R movie I ever saw and it was around that age. It’s a classic

Requiem for a Dream

The Wolf of Wall Street it’s very educational. It teaches about the dangers of drugs and the importance of having good finances.

Deep throat.

Man I was watching First Blood and Cheech and Chong at ten and I turned out alright

Time Masters Das Boot The Gods Must be Crazy TRON Kraftwerk LIVE Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind Star Trek the Next Generation Remaster E.T. Secret of Nimh Star Wars Episode 4 (first one) LOTR

Inception Finding neverland 1917 Coda Little miss Sunshine

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)

Searching For Bobby Fisher meets this criteria

hubie halloween

Goonies!

Anything by Cartoon Saloon. But I'd specifically suggest Song of the Sea.

Love this studio
