Jaws and Jurassic Park are two of my teenagers favorite movies. They absolutely love Jaws.

I made my two young teen boys sit down and watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles several years ago. They enjoyed it though, didn't make fun of me.

My oldest is taking a cinema critique class this year in HS. He’s enjoyed most pre-2000s movies required, especially Rear Window.

Sunset Boulevard wasn’t his favorite, but it’s also a masturbatory Hollywood story so I get it.

He also didn’t love Hugo, but for some reason I’m the only one in the family that likes that one.

I watched Monty Python with my youngest and he didn’t get a lot of it but he still laughed a bit.

My dad made me watch the Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and I shite on him endlessly for it.

Not really a movie I built up, but when I gave a VCR of Treasure Island (1934), with Jackie Cooper and Lionel Barrymore, to my nephews, they said they don't watch black & white stuff. I just thought they'd love the story.
