50 Best PG 13 Movies on Netflix for Tweens and Teens

The tween and early teen years are a difficult time all around for parents but finding movies they will want to watch that are age appropriate isn’t always easy which is why I decided to put together a list of the 50 Best PG 13 Movies on Netflix. This list was originally published on Sept 30, 2015 and was been updated as of March 26, 2018. The latest update for this list was December 30, 2018.

Teens and tweens don’t want anything to do with kids movies and they yearn to watch adult movies that really stretch the boundaries of what they should watch.

Kids are exposed to so much more than is age-appropriate these days, it’s reassuring to be able to provide them with some entertainment options that you feel comfortable with and that they won’t groan and roll their eyes over.

They may roll their eyes at YOU – they are teenagers, but not at these 50 PG 13 movies on Netflix.

If you don’t have Netflix and need a device to be able to use it check this one out —> watch Netflix on my TV.

How old do you have to be to see a PG 13 movie?

While there are no PG 13 rules from a legal perspective, kids under 13 can be prohibited from seeing a PG 13 movie in a theater if not accompanied by an adult. It is ultimately the decision of the parent what they deem acceptable for their kids to be exposed to.

PG 13 movies may have:

• Nonsexual nudity
• Very little profanity
• Bloodless violence

There are some PG 13 movies that I let my 10 year old watch, and some that I would prefer that my 14 year old didn’t watch. I think when it comes to PG 13 movies, you just have to watch them first to decide if you are comfortable allowing your teen or tween to watch them.

The list below is just a handful of movies rated PG 13 that you can find on Netflix. There are hundreds more available, you can find them by typing PG 13 into the search bar.
