Ok we've done the biggies...pretty in pink, sixteen candles, back to the futures, better off dead, one crazy summer, and many more but we are looking for new material...any suggestions?

We are completely flabbergasted by the amount of kids in her class who have never seen any of these movies. Don't get me started on what music her classmates have never heard of either...geeez!

Gotta mention Some Kind Of Wonderful (my personal top movie, as regulars here will know!)

Otherwise, if you're looking for a particular genre, if you look at the smart menu in the lower left corner of the home page HERE, you can use the filter drop-down at the top of the list to select movies by genre. That should give you a good list to work from - and you can always read the review first for any that you want to check are suitable - assuming she's in her early teens as she's still in school.
