DVDs for a 12 Year Old Boy
Comments

OMG thank you all for your help!
I am happy for him to watch rated 13 but as to 15 I would need definite assurance that they are OK which is why recommendations are so important if I haven't seen them myself.
He likes ANYTHING, he is a huge movie buff.0 -
It depends on your boy. I am liberal to an extent with my son on what he watches and if I say no there is a good reason for it and he knows. Some slightly more grown up things he may like are Lord of the rings trilogy, Evolution, Harry Potter, but it is really hard to choose if you don't really know the boy. You just need use your common sense as someone else said the some of 15's should be ok if you want to go down that road.0

you have to try some of the classic 80's movies, granted the FX arent what they are now but they are some great films.

ferris beullers day off (any 12 yr old would love this)
stand by me
flight of the navigator
willow
indiana jones
star wars
back to the future
beetle juice
edwrad scissor hands
i am an 80's child lol but i do think they are good films, they were when films were films and not high action packed fast moving (often violent even the kids stuff) which over stimulate the brain and im not sure thats always a good thing!0 -
We also loved National Lampoon's European Vacation at that age.0

DS, 13, loves Only Fools and Horses as did my stepson at that age too!
They also both love Lee Evans but there might be some more 'adult' content in that.Make £25 a day in April £0/£750 (March £584, February £602, January £883.66)
December £361.54, November £322.28, October £288.52, September £374.30, August £223.95, July £71.45, June £251.22, May£119.33, April £236.24, March £106.74, Feb £40.99, Jan £98.54) Total for 2017 - £2,495.100 -
I think Lord of the Rings is a great one for 12 year olds, it has all the good stuff in it, fighting, gore etc!! All the Marvel films are good for that age. Twilight is probably too girly for him but you could try it!
What about Lost? I think its rated 15, but there isn't much in it that is that bad, the occasional 'swear' word, fighting etc.
It would be worth looking at some films rated 15, check out reviews etc.0 -
OMG I forgot about the classics!!!!
As to per Twilight - I think he thinks it's for girls!
Does anyone know what the rating is on The Pacific? It looks good.0
