    All of these are great selections. My boys liked Holes a lot. They must have watched it at least 10 times. They also used to watch Even Stevesn. ^_^

    What I like about movies like this is that teens can relate to what the characters are going through. It’s definitely a good way to let them now that they’re not alone especially for teens who feel lonely sometimes.

    Am I the only one who feels like Holes should be required viewing for young people? I loved that movie so much. Most of the others on the list I’ve not yet seen. Perhaps it means a movie marathon is in my near future 😀
