Hello,
new to the forum but a big movie fan. I have a 9 year old step son who I have a regular movie night with every Friday night. We have been doing this for more than a year and a half. We have a regular schedule of watching a cartoon, then some trailers for upcoming movies we might watch, then our feature. I began with showing him some more kiddie stuff and then branched into movies I liked when I was younger(I'm 33). He is very open to all kinds of films-sci-fi(love Star Wars of course), adventure, even old black and whites. Below is a list of most of the movies I have shown him over the past year and a half. Starting to run out of ideas, so was hoping to get some suggestions if possible? 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s to the present all fair game. He has enjoyed all these films so maybe these will help determine some others people on this board might think he'd like. thanks for any suggestions! Trying to keep my Netflix queue stocked...
