DVDs for a 12 Year Old Boy

Alcmene · 8 November 2010 at 10:40AM

Hi everyone

I need some advice for those of you with kids. I have been given the task to collate a list of DVDs suitable to buy a 12 year old boy.

He likes to push the boundaries so nothing too babyish. Can anyone help with some suggestions please?

Any cinema film suggestions are also welcome. We are struggling to decide what to take him to see sometimes.

How about Angus thongs and perfect snogging, Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift? My ds loves these and although they are rated 13 he IMO was mature enough to see them and watches them still.
It depends on what sort of things your 12yo is interested in.

The Goonies is a classic and Zathura, which is very like Jumanji but played out in space.

The Hole 3D which may still be on at the cinema was excellent and rated a 12A. Horror without gore, with good characters.

well most 12A films will be fine since they have been rated as such. i have also found a lot of the slightly older 15 rated films are fine compared to modern standards

the question is what is he actually into, Sci-fi, action, cartoons, comedy

My 12 yr old son likes the "classics" such as James Bond, Star Wars, Back to the future, Indiana Jones.....as well as Disney "cartoons" Toys story etc.

He will watch DVDs with me such as Bourne Identity, Oceans 11 and Top Gun.

He also loves Doctor Who (new series) and the A Team tv series from the 80's.

Hi, my son is nearly 15, but bought him The Pacific for his birthday, he LOVES band of brothers. He loves all the star wars films. For Christmas we've got him Merlin boxsets, Lost, Bear Grylls. What about Iron Man. Bought my DD Friends for her birthday and hes also watched that and enjoyed it.
