That's the thing I did with my niece. She didn't get to watch many films growing up (she read a lot, listened to a lot of music, but her parents didn't really do films or TV so it wasn't much of a thing). As a teenager we started hanging out and I'd show her films that I thought that she'd enjoy and would be culturally important. Meanwhile I'd give her the rundown of "You can watch this, but I wouldn't bother. This one is good, the rest you can skip."

I like to think she's going off to uni with good memories of watching films with me. Hopefully I can do something similar for my recently arrived daughter.
