When I was younger I would watch it all of the time. But now I don't, it boring. What movies would you recommend, maybe I'm allowed.

Sky

Go watch 300.

XD


My favorite movies are A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, Grease, and a huge list of Disney.

It all depends on what you like. What is your favorite Genre? Accepted and Get Smart were pretty good movies.

Gremlins 1.

Incredibly good!  ;D But the second one is pretty bad...


Post Potter depression.

Miss Xantier

oooo, thats reminds me I wanted to watch that! I never have to do so. Oh well, have any of you guys seen Tiger Cruise? its a good movie! Sad too, because it was about 2001 terrorist attack. i was surprised that this school year on sept 11 they said nothing about it in the announcements. i'm ashamed of them.

Sky

Yes, I've seen it. It wasn't bad.

I suppose that after 7 years, we ought to take a moment of silence to our selves.
There are many things that we've quit remembering. Like the Kent State killings.

Miss Xantier

whats that? I'm gonna google that I guess. The world Trade Centre was big news for everyone worldwide. So thats why everyone in the world should be doing moments of silence.

Sky

So was The Kent State Killings. Innocent students were shot. I believe it was 6. While it's not in the thousands, to think that a college would allow that to happen. (It was in like..the 60's-80's something) But yeah. I live like 20 minutes away from there.

Molly

no way! I HATE WERE-WOLVES! I'm scared of them actually... Too scary. Hmmm, so this is all of the movies you suggest? wowie. I'm 13 Ginny, so I can watch +13 movies. I watched Juno last year, and its not PG.
I usually watch M but I think ratings are diffrent here Just

We have no PG +13
just PG which is +15

Drillbit Taylor (Funny stuff)

Ginny Weasly

I hated Drillbit Taylor. It was amusing, but so not worth the money I paid to go see it.

Um, I saw Up! recently. That movie was adorable! And I got to see the first half of Star Trek. It was awesome.

First half......  Were you sneaking in????

Okay then. Let's see with the confines of movies being interesting to the modern teen and it has to be rated PG, I would recommend...

12 Angry Men (don't be put off by its black and white color), Forrest Gump, Up!, The Incredibles, The Goonies, Stardust, Groundhog Day, and Naked Gun and Airplane! (although these last two may be a bit much for your parents to protect your "fragile little mind," you may get by. Naked Gun is PG-13 but the worst it really ever gets is when two characters hilariously practice safe sex by wearing full body condoms and Airplane! is rated PG but there is a scene where a woman is bare chested right in front of the camera for a few seconds. But these movies are best to watch when you are young. At least it was for me. Not as amused by those kind of movies as I used to be now that I'm older.)

BUT... if you want to reference my list of all time favs then here you go, but 95% of these are PG-13 and R. But I think it is preposterous to limit cultural experiences because of a film's content (that is used tamely within tasteful reason.) Do what you want to do. Maybe your parents can be loose a little and recognize good movies instead of bad content.

The numbers are the ratings I give the movies. It came with the copy/pasta.
