My DD8 loves silly movies, plus anything with violence so long as it's completely escapist and unrealistic, ala LotR. If it looks anything like possible, not so much. Like you, we also screen for mature content.

So basically, everything Nautigal said, except Where the Red Fern Grows, and add:

Back to the Future trilogy
Short Circuit (both)
Star Wars movies
E.T.
All of the movies featuring the Avengers (Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, etc.)
Marley and Me

Just off the top of head.

Anytime we have a question on whether a movie is appropriate for DD, we've used the family information provided on imdb.com.
