Tell me what pro freedom/independent thinking/awesome movies are age appropriate for my 12 year old. I was never a big movie guy but we've watched Gladiators 1 and 2 the past week. I'm thinking "The Patriot" next. Violence and cursing not of concern, but prefer very little to not sexual content.

Braveheart
We were soldiers
2001: Space Odyssey
I mean you all must have seen them but just incase: entire LOTR series
Antz. Every kid should watch it.
Contact (adaptation of carl Sagan book)
Red dawn
Cypherpunks Write Code is a great insight into our community and ethos. Not a dramatic movie, but a great documentary
BRAVEHEART
Band of Brothers the HBO mini-series about WWII
Watched it with my 12 year old and he loved it
The Sound of Music is pretty based if you ask me
The Truman Show
Glory would be a good too.
I actually thought War of the worlds was a cool family movie, If u can handle the zoom call format, Good and modern although a bit on the silly side. The tech Surveillance message is easily explained.
Anyone have movie/show recommendations or even watch lists/viewing order?
Recently been introducing my Nieces/Nephew to the Tuttle Twins and its such good/wholesome content delivered in an engaging way (where 5-11 year olds are full attention watching it. (Me being fully bought in helps too)
TVO (in Canada) used to have a Saturday Night at the movies that would often be a double feature (where the movies were connected by director/actors/theme/style etc) and there would be discussions between/after the movie which made my appreciation for the movies 10x what it other wise would have been.
One example that stands out was Being John Malkovich and Adaptation. Exploring the disruptive storytelling/meta narrative etc. Anyways the TLDR is it made for an amazing experience.
Would be super cool to see similar playlists/discussions from Bitcoiners on a variety of books/movies/shows around themes like - freedom/independent thinking/responsibility
