:thumbsup: I was gonna suggest The Lego Movie, Rango, and Hugo. If not for the PG-13 rating I would also suggest Pacific Rim.

Oh, yeah, Rango is a good one.

 

[Rage187]

Iron Eagle

 

[Mai72]

The original Terminator.

That will get their juices flowing!

 

[Printer Bandit]

I imagine so, since it's rated R.

 

[ModerateRepZero]

Princess Bride
Home Alone
Frozen
Ghostbusters
Nightmare before Christmas
ET
Casper
The Incredibles

All but one of these are pre-2011, and additional discretion required; PG-13 wasn't introduced until July 1984.

I might get Guardians of the Galaxy. I have a home theater with two 18" subs so my son wants to show it off a bit to friends.

I was thinking about this subject today, because we entertain kids from other homes rather often here. Sometimes if I have a question about what is appropriate in terms of pickup, delivery, food served, and in this case the entertainment, I find it safest to directly ask the parents of the kid(s). Most of the time they act like I am weird for even asking, like of course it is OK, but once in a while, you get an answer that makes you really glad you asked first...

Ya, I told my wife that she should tell other parents what movie we plan on seeing. Or several that are under consideration. If anyone objects to a selection, let us know and we'll remove it from the list of possible movies.

My wife simply said that "she is handling it". I kinda gave up on life a bit (... more ...) because that's her way of telling me "I am not an idiot" without actually telling me what her plan is. She plans to preview any possible movie. And I think that she isn't going to tell other parents what we are watching. Or she is going to tell them. I don't know. I do worry about atleast one friend/parent getting upset post fact depending on what we watch.

Kinda wish I had an 11 year old boy. I'd teach him to be a real man! And we'd play network games and go fishing, etc.

I do have a son, whom I reckon is 8 now, but I only seen him when he was a baby. Long damn story, but sometimes I think about it and wonder how he's turning out. Sometimes I think to myself every Halloween the adoption parents will ring my door bell and surprise me. I'm scared to find out about him though because of the BS that happened back then.
