And on the top of my soon-to-be-7th-grader's list? Fahrenheit 451. One of my all-time faves, both book and movie. Based on the 1953 Ray Bradbury's book by the same title, this movie was released in 1966.

A clip (click through to youtube), highlighting the whole premise. Movie starred Julie Christie and Oskar Werner. Directed by François Truffaut.
Easy to see why this struck such a chord to a 13 year old. And why I hope it will leave the same impression on my 11 year old, meaning: the dorky apple won't fall far from the dorky tree. "Welcome to the world of Sci-Fi."
