You are so right. Except for one of the films he mentioned, they all were released AFTER the addition of PG13. Such a good call. You sure showed him for trying to point out the folly of saying all PG films are unappealing family fare that adults can't enjoy.
Post Edit: let's add Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and Star Wars: Attack of the Clones to that list he made that you dismissed. -

I see what you mean though. But theirs alot of kids films out there that isn't totally stupid. Late 90s early 2000s were like the last days where films could be rated pg and still feel like it's not for kids. You won't see it much now so theirs that

Please notice I'm responding to the other thing you said, and quoted it in my previous post:
2. I dont remember a single actually funny movie that wasnt pg rated.
Which would also exclude every comedy made before 1968. In my opinion (and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this), funny movies aren't limited to the PG rating. I never said anything about children not being able to watch the ones I mentioned, just that they were funny.
Crocodile Dundee, Mr. Bean's Holiday, and the Grumpy Old Men movies were good, too.
