Fried Green Tomatoes or we can't be friends.

She saw that two weeks ago so our friendship is safe.

Do you know who liked that movie though? Pete. He sat there and watched that thing from beginning to end with nary a peep out of him.

Princess Bride
Empire Records
Breakfast Club (if you're ok with profanity. I saw it recently and had not remembered all of the swearing in it.)
Clueless
Mean Girls
Titanic
A Knight's Tale ()
Princess Diaries
Center Stage
Pitch Perfect
The Leo version of Romeo and Juliet (recommendation from 13 y/of me)

And so many more that were listed; I'm not very original after reading through some of these GREAT recommendations!

I feel like I want to have movie night with Pixy!

I haven't actually seen it so I didn't know that was in there.

And there a LOT of movies of listed here - I'm assuming 1) Habs can use her parental discretion and 2) all these movies won't be watched next week.

You haven't seen it but surely you know what it's about. She can watch it right after Bastard Out of Carolina.

I actually really didn't. I just saw it on some list and threw it up here without thinking.

I was just feeling picked on since there are some other not-appropriate movies but people kept calling me out. It's cool, though. I'm over it.

Ever After. It's my favorite Cinderella rendition. All my other favorites have already been mentioned. I watched Girls Just Wanna Have Fun so many times as a kid with my sister, we could recite it. LOL.

She will be in July.

[laladypoet]

there's actually a movie called Thirteen that's good, but it's one of the ones you'll need to talk about afterwards.

I might have missed these in my search for Can't Buy Me Love (which I found on page 3 - whew!) - but:

Say Anything
Some Kind of Wonderful
MASK
Serendipity

[summer]

I know they are TV shows/ miniseries, but I vote My So-Called Life and Anne of Green Gables/Avonlea.

[Michelle]

Mystic Pizza
Penelope - I love that movie!
Now and Then
White Oleander

[EllieArroway]

I totally forgot about Now and Then. Now I need to find it so I can watch it again. I loved that one so much!

[barcelonagirl]

Sugar and Spice and Practical Magic are my sister's favorites!

[secretlyevil]

There are lots of good suggestions, so much so I'm not coming up with anything new. I approve.

Sense and Sensibility is one of my all-time faves

If you like this, Love and Friendship is hilarious, and I think a 13 year old would like it.  I took my 10 year old yesterday, but I think an older child would understand more of the lines, though DD liked it.  

[dragon's breath]

The Craft
Flashdance
Erin Brockovich
Delores Claiborne (and Misery just for fun)
Were Million Dollar Baby, Precious, and Norma Rae any good? (I've never seen them)


(disclaimer, I loved scary movies as a kid, so I don't know what is considered "age appropriate" when it comes to horror/thriller movies, especially when it's been a long time since I've watched them--and the version I watched may have been edited for tv)

[Deleted]

Chasing Amy has some very, very explicit sex talk, and Amelie shows a strip-tease in a porno shop. I absolutely love both movies, but they may be a bit graphic to watch with her this summer.

[downtoearth]

It's been awhile, but Sweet November, High Fidelity, Much Ado About Nothing (love this cheesy Shakespeare one), Cutting Edge (ice skating movie), Pitch Perfect, but some have some older sex issues.

Love this thread BTW - thanks for asking!
