I am always on the lookout for films for him and just ordered Stormbreaker which is from Anthony Horowitz s books.

Can anyone suggest good 12/12A films please.

Obviously I know of the latest ones but looking for others. I look on the £5 and less ones when in Tesco.... but anyone else suggest good ones. Even if from 10 years ago. I just bought I am number four which I enjoyed.

Suggestions please xx

It depends what he's into. The 13 year old in my life is watching a lot of deep and meaningfuls with sub-titles.

We went to see Boyhood together (it's a 15 though) and he loved that but it is quite mature in its themes.

Perhaps look back at some of the comedy classics too.

Ghostbusters is currently celebrating it's 30th anniversary. It's been back in cimena's in the states.

Back to the Future turns 30 next year.

If he's not seen it, it will give him some idea of what film makers thought our world would look like now

Star wars, the original trilogy, not the re edited one, never ever let him see the new trilogy!

Indiana Jones, preferably the originals again although crystal skull is watchable.

I watched last of the M ohmic as with my dad when I was in primary school, think he must have forgotten about the burning scene lol

Get a few 15s but watch them first and then watch them with him, opens up a lot more options then and you can decide what your happy for him to see. After all 12 still have swearing and sex references.

Have you thought about getting him a subscription to Netflex, then setting the parental guidance to PG13. You'll get a list of exactly what he's watching as well.

To be honest I can't afford another subscription. I tend to buy dvds occasionally but thinking of good ones for Christmas etc.

I know you said films but if he liked the Horowitz books get him the Cherub ones by Muchamore - my 14 year old is tearing through them and there are loads.

Try your son on Jackie Chan films - always a great laugh, and Remo Williams - no-one seems to have heard of it but it is hilarious. And if he knows his SF tropes he'd love Galaxy Quest.

You say you only buy dvds once in a while. But i gotta admit Netflix is the best 5.99 a month I've ever spent. I did away with sky after I got it. And I have it on ten different devices psi in the lounge and wii in both kids bedrooms as well as phones tablets and even at my dad and brothers house.

Do it you won't regret it. And if you do you can cancel anytime as your not in a contract. I've watched loads of classics with my kids. Stuff like

Robin Hood prince of thieves

the princes bride

drop dead Fred

dungeons and dragons

Most anime is not pornographic. Much is made for kids. Just check the rating.

And we love cartoon porn here. So much more wicked imagination applied.

Thank you, my grandson or son are not allowed cartoon porn, usually known in the UK as Hentai.

I'm sure Studio Ghibli is loved by adults also but it is no way pornographic.
