    You wouldn't think they belong, on the surface. But Back to the Future was nominated for a number of awards including an Oscar for Best Orginal Screenplay. It also won a Hugo award (beating out Cocoon) and was Golden Globe nominated. Critics generally loved it.

    Beetlejuice also won a Hugo and is in the AFI top 100 for comedies. It was also loved by critics. Most Tim Burton films are well-done, even if strange.

    These are more by acclaimed directors than films but young teens won't get bored with.

    Nothing says young teen friendly like the anal prison rape of a skinhead and the curbstomping of a car thief.

    Beetlejuice was a launching pad. Baldwin, Davis, Ryder, goth culture and post-SCTV Catherine O'Hara were all about to pop. Ed Rooney had one last hurrah after Amadeus and Ferris, and Michael Keaton got to stop being '80s Vince Vaughan.

    Not sure if this is sarcasm, haha.

    Super 8 if you haven't seen it already. Actually it probably has some profanity but it's PG-13 I believe.
