Cool movies for a 12 year old boy to see?

[Harry Powell]

No Jewish pornography pls Funsters.

I make a real effort to expose my son to all the cultural touchstones. I want his pop culture background to be varied and expansive.

What are some of them movies you saw as an adolescent that stuck with you or shaped your youth?

I saw The Thing with my dad when I was 10 and it influenced the entire rest of my life, for an example.

 

[New Name]

Smokey and the bandit

 

[Brooke Shields]

oh you mean movies a 12 year old can watch, not for his age group?
Cause I was just gonna say like Iron Giant or Balto (NO BLACKS)

But if you mean for your kid who your coal burning ex is going to fuck up worse than a trans-parent, then I'd say any Spike Lee movie

 

[Fishing Bird]

Gran Torino so he knows how to talk to minorities once he starts middle school.

 

[RedHeadpw2]

Clownhouse (1989)

 

[HH Brother]

The Terminator and Terminator 2: Funster Day.

Iron Giant is a good one but he’s already seen it.

I probably should show him Boyz in the Hood etc so he can understand Mom’s “friends” and their rich culture.

Jaws, close encounters of the third kind
Colombo and Quincy reruns

The Terminator and Terminator 2: Funster Day.

One of you guys suggested that after we watched The Rock - probably you. He loved it, he learned about Alcatraz last year in school. Still planning to take him out there for a weekend.

I’d go with meatballs, caddy shack,animal house for now. Later on you can slip in a few coen bros movies.

I used to really like cannonball run when I was that age too but no idea if that one holds up.

We watched the first one about 2-3 years ago and he was OBSESSED. He watched every movie in the series, even the gay ones with Jamie Kennedy.
