Are we looking for a film sufficiently offensive that you are never allowed to host a load of 8-year-olds again? That would be my strategy.

Dodgeball should do the trick while allowing you to claim that you had no idea it involved pizza masturbation and bondage gear. Also very funny.

11 8 years old are never going to agree on a film to watch.

Is it Goonies or Home Alone where they find a box of porn? I don't recall exactly what it was but there is something at the start of The Goonies that I blanched at when I put it only for my daughter.

I love the Goonies!

Still fun to watch and one of the most popular adventure movies ever made, it contained a surprising amount of questionable content for a kids’ film but for those who don’t mind the occasional obscenity, brutal crime, dead body, suicide, or drug and sexual torture reference in their children’s movies, Goonies will always be an 80s favourite.

Our eight year old enjoyed Hook and Aladdin recently. He's seen all the modern films so I'm trying out the older ones i watched. I've got the Dark Crystal videod for this weekend that I reckon he'll love. Waiting patiently for the Princess Bride to come on telly. I cancelled the Goonies after all the talk of coke and hookers and the fake suicide at the start - it was going to take too much explaining.

The bit about not feeding them after midnight will ring true, certainly.

How about Small Soldiers?

It is PG (just about). Great fun!

Or the Thunderbirds live action movie. That was decent for unenquiring minds.

Zootopia
Spy Kids
Despicable Me
Boss Baby
The first Harry Potter
Inside Out

Or for a very different (and very captivating) experience, any of the Hayao Miyazaki films - Ponyo and Spitited Away are perhaps the most well known.

We watched The Little Prince on Netflix at the weekend. My boys are 3, 8 and 10. They all loved it. It's quite a chilled film, so could be perfect for winding 11 8 year olds down instead of up.

Pacific Rim; it's honking great robots battering what're essentially dinosaurs. It's a 12 but has no foul language or sex, just thinks beating each other.
