Re: What movies did you love at 12?
Men in Black and Jumanji got a lot of rewatches when I was 12ish.

Zarban, you should also show them Babylon 5.

Only some years later did I realize that Seasons 1 & 2 were bad.
This is a fair point, and I also was completely used to TOS style, with the bright colors and acting style. The one episode I saw from TNG early on was so bizarre and nonsensical to me that I simply shut off from it. I didn't really get back in to it until one of my best friends in middle school showed it to me.
I really enjoyed "All Good Things" as well as several of the films.

I started with the reboot, then went back and did the original series/films, but if I'd had the chance to start with Khan, in retrospect I'd have taken it.
I personally did the same, starting with Abrams trek, but I think it's a bad way to go because it will set them up to expect essentially Star Wars style action from the series, not to mention that it will take a lot of the punch out of the ending of Khan.
If you wanted to show a more modern style movie to ease them into the series, you're better off with something like Master and Commander honestly.

Actually, I'd start them with the classic episode Trouble with Tribbles. It's funny, and classic trek is much more... colorful than the newer stuff.

Trouble with Tribbles is a blast, and I think a lot of fun. Even if they don't get in to TOS specifically, I think that it would be some fun for them

Oh, Stargate! I know it's been forgotten and isn't highly regarded, but when I was 12 I thought it was such a cool and exciting idea. I think it was fairly foundational in getting me into sci-fi, as well. Plus, you know, Kurt Russell.

I love Stargate! It's one of my favourites. The first two Mummy movies are quite fun (and family friendly) too.
