Give me some action/adventure films to watch with the boy

The Magnificent Seven, provisionally. The 1960 one, with Yul Brynner. Provisionally because I don't remember if there was any alarming violence. The bad guys get some in the end, I think mostly just BOOM, fall down, but I don't remember beyond that.

Maybe somebody here remembers.

You do not want him to imprint on that sort of driving. While it is unlikely he will ever have to fight raptors or Afghans, he will be driving one day, sooner than you'd like.

But just in case you didn't get it, Second Hand Lions.

Guns of Navarone
Princess Bride, maybe? Maybe too gooshy.
