@Annabellethecat66  Our family loves Tom Hanks, and especially "The Burbs" I think my DD will include them. Thanks!

How about some blasts from the past:

 

ET

Field Of Dreams

Back To The Future

Ferris Buehler's  Day Off

 

My children enjoyed them as well as the grandchildren...classics.


I have a soft spot for Field of Dreams I remember when I saw it in the theater.  As we were leaving, there was a middle-aged man slumped over the concession counter, sobbing.

 

I do the same thing every time I see it.

@just bee  Road To Perdition might require some parental review, but I understand the theme. They have very tender hearts, however.

That's why I hesitated.  But it sure makes an impression, doesn't it?  

 

Tender hearts?  Then definitely Babe!  Heart

My DD is dealing with her boys being out of school for the forseeable future. They are already doing homework, piano practice and farm chores. They are also viewing the virtural presentations from art museums and zoos. And they are really into board games. But there is still time to fill, so she would like suggestions for movies. Here's her request: "Must see movies for 10-13 year olds, please! Informative, adventure, classics, comedies, whatever! PG-13 suggestions are fine, we'll just research it. Thanks in advance!"


Well this one is an oldie "Pollyana" the original with Haley Mills.  I remember always enjoying it.
