I also vote for "Second Hand Lions" and "The Fastest Indian".

There's another one that no one has mentioned, so all of you should co spider watching this great movie - "The Magic of Belle Island". Morgan Freeman stars in it. You'll be glad you watched this.

Jason Bourne and agree on all of the Indiana Jones flicks

[Catseye3]

George of the Jungle
Encino Man

[Aqua Letifer]

Bill & Ted

Surprised no one mentioned Ronin since we are referencing a lot of car chase movies.

For fun with car chases watch What's Up Doc (although I am concerned about the boy not liking The Holy Grail - I was 5th or 6th grade and fell in love with the movie just listening to the sound track).

Another favorite of mine was an old Clint Eastwood movie, Where Eagles Dare. Lots of cool guns and explosions.

Toy Soldiers

[Axtremus]

Team America

Speed

Land of the Lost

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

G. I. Joe series

Wild Wild West

Fist of the North Star

Well, @jon-nyc could have asked for recommendations for Presidential biographies to read with the boy.

Firefox.

This mostly passes the parents guide test, but: "Three people are shown being shot to death by Russian soldiers. Two men get into a brutal fight. Two people are brutally beaten to death." Mild to zero for sex/nudity, profanity and alcohol and drugs.

Oh, there are several on the list that may not be quite age appropriate....

Debbie does Dallas and the great sequel Debbie does Düsseldorf
