She might like _Goonies_, _Explorers_, or _ET_, though they’re kind of boy-centric (not in an inappropriate juvenile way, though).

There was a not-very-good version of _Nancy Drew_ recently.

She’s seen quite a few of them, but I forgot a lot of these suggestions too. Thanks guys, I knew you’d have some great ideas!

If she’s willing to watch old black and white movies, how about Bringing up Baby? It’s a completely silly movie that I think a ten year old girl would like.
