If you want a movie that Woody Allen took seriously (and possibly of historical educational value for a 12-year-old), there’s _The Front_. Woody had long been saying he wanted to do a “serious” movie, as opposed to his earlier juvenile slapstick, and this was it.

If you want slow and plodding from that era, try _The Way We Were_ with Barbra Streisand. Pass the No-Doz, please.

If you think the kid can handle seeing oral sex, _Deep Throat_ is the thing.

If you want good simple clean fun for the family, I always recommend _Li’l Abner_ (the 1959 version with Peter Palmer and Leslie Parrish), or _The Secret Life of Walter Mitty_ starring Danny Kaye.
