These Are the 12 Movies From the '90s That You Should Watch With Your Kids

Year: 1991

Ages it's appropriate for: 10 and up

Reasons they need to see it: This movie is the ultimate first "love" film, as Vada and Thomas J. are just kids themselves. The film covers the topics of death (of a parent and of a friend), lasting friendships, single parenthood, and family quirkiness (and accepting that for what it is). It's a powerful movie that will stick with your kids.

What to look out for: There are fewer movie scenes more tragic than Thomas J.'s sudden death and funeral (BRB, crying). Death is the main theme of this movie, so some kids might need some hard cuddling through the difficult scenes.
