Need movie suggestions for preteen

Starting to think about Christmas and while the little ones are fairly easy, my stepdaughter is 11.5 and much harder.  I was thinking I would get her some movies but they would have to be older movies as she pretty much gets everything as soon as it comes out.  I want to stay away from rated R but other than that, anything goes.  Suggestions?

  • My DD and her friends like The Princess Bride.  The high school and middle school students I teach also really like that movie, even though it's older.

Adventures in babysitting 6.Back to the Future 7.Teen Wolf 8. Mean Girls 9.Wild Child 10.The Prince and Me 11.Anything with Mandy Moore in it-A walk to remember, How to deal 12.She's the Man 13.Ice Castles 14.She's all that There are so many more that were made in the 80's and 90's that I loved and still will watchSmile My suggestion is try to remember what movies you liked back then and go from there. *you will have to check the rating on some of these cause I forgot to look* GL
