I spent time with my sister-in-law over Christmas. She was telling me that she was looking for some good movies she could watch with her daughter. She was having trouble finding some on the Internet so it got me thinking.

I have a popular post on movies for tweens so I thought I would do a list for mother daughter movie night AND for all ages- There are movies you can watch with a kindergartener and movies you can watch with your teen.

Good Movies to watch with your daughter

This list was so fun to make. I wasn’t going to make it long, but I kept thinking of movies, so it grew fast. I was thinking of some of stars I love like Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson, Drew Barrymore, Matthew McConaughey and Molly Ringwald and I just kept adding movies.

My daughter is getting to the age where she loves a variety of movies and she is loving “girl movies“. There are so many that we can enjoy together now and perfect for a girl’s night in.

This list includes musicals, dramas, romance, cartoons and action! There are fun movies that are light-hearted and others that show strong women facing adversity or making a difference. Sometimes you just need to watch some good chick flicks!

I do want to point out my favorite romantic comedy- 13 Going on 30! I love it when the characters head off to New York City for their careers but realize other things are more important, like love! Legally Blonde is great too where Elle is successful at law school, which is perfect for girls! Who needs boys?

Note- One of MY favorite rom com movies is Pretty Woman. I did not put it on this list though. Not sure if this is a great one to watch with younger girls, but if you have an older teen, go for it.

Mother Daughter Movie Night

I went back and forth on how to organize this . I wasn’t sure whether to do it by genre or rating and kept finding myself switching it around as I went. Also, researching all the ratings for every single movies didn’t seem fun.

My daughter, who’s 9, loves the Twilight series, but Titanic and Hunger Games are too intense for her. So…I kind of based the order or her preferences.

You know what your daughter likes and what she can handle. Almost all the movies on this list are PG-13 and under! Perfect for a sleepover with friends.

All listed are available to buy on Amazon, but you may be able to find them on Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu for Free.
