Problem Child. My kids love it. They think Problem Child 2 is better.

Aftersun is heartwarming film about a father and daughter.


Shewww man… this one was tough.

The dad has his own demons and sees his little girl is entering adolescence and isn’t a little girl anymore…

Really good recommendation for OP as it’s right in the sweet spot of his own life

Togo on Disney+, based on a true story about a dog and his dogsledding team friends trying to get some medicine to some remote part of Alaska a hundred years ago.

Ended up watching Stand By Me…she hated the leaches. I’m gonna make a list off some of these recommendations. Thanks

But seriously, in this order:

1. The Parent Trap (the Lohan twins)
2. The Princess Diaries (Anne Hathaway)
3. The Princess Bride

or this, (which Jodie Foster long ago deleted from her credits)



Edit to add: BTW, this last one is not really meant for kids.

Another serious recommendation would be:

A Little Romance (with young Diane Lane), though she might find the first half rather slow and there is a scene about seeing a porn movie (though nothing is shown), for which she may ask for explanation...

I read this was overrated.

For OP, and this is too late, but:

Depending on how "11 year old" she is and how you want to give her stuff to explore, The Outsiders could be something in the future, considering the book was written by a teen girl.

What types of movies has she shown interest in? What movies has she asked to go see?

My daughter is 12 and likes the Blumhouse horror films that are PG-13. She is also enjoys anime so we'll catch those movies as well.

About time


Watched that with both my kids not too long ago. The protagonist is a son, but I think it works for sons or daughters. Great movie. And they both loved it (daughter 11, son 16). I know it’s not what you’re supposed to focus on, but it did raise some moral questions on manipulation.

Regardless, one of the all-time parent-child tearjerkers. And it was really cool watching it this time with kids. I 1st saw it when it 1st came out, and I identified with the son and how I felt about my dad. Now that I’m older with kids, I identified more with the father. Though my dad is still alive, so it worked on both levels.

We watched “The Man in the Moon” with them a couple of weeks ago. (The young coming-of-age Reese Witherspoon one, not Jim Carey’s “Man on the Moon.”) I had been wanting to watch it with my daughter—complicated relationship between father/son that reflected that time and place—but my son was being all 16 and brooding and said “I kinda want to watch a sad movie.” I won’t spoil it, but I said, “I have just the one.”
They both really enjoyed that too, which surprised me.

(CSB—I moseyed up to the bar at Radio Bar about 10 years ago, in between waxing arse in ping pong, to order a beer and noticed the London twin in “The Man in the Moon” standing next to me. We chatted for a bit as we waited for our drinks. He was in town making something. Nice enough guy and didn’t mind talking for a minute or 2 since I didn’t make a big deal about it and nobody else in the place seemed to recognize him.)

We also watched “Twister” the week before “Twisters” came out. There’s a father/daughter relationship that isn’t a huge part, but kinda haunts that movie.

“Interstellar” and “Contact” are good father/daughter movies that I plan to show my daughter. I know there are others—I had a list I made, but lost it somewhere.

Saw that at a screening in Austin before it came sour with a long Q&A afterwards with director Catherine Hardwicke. Been to several of those, but she was extremely gracious with her time and answered a lot of film nerd questions.

But OP, absolutely DO NOT show your daughter “Thirteen.” At 11, 13, or 31.
