I have found myself trying to google the names of movies I watched when I was growing up to watch with my son. Some of those classic movies that everyone loves, but you cannot recall the name or the actors. You know some of those masterpieces are worth watching all over again but they might be skipping your mind.

The solution is here. A book that will help you and your family watch those movies and learn more about them. Packed with beautiful illustrations and lots information about each movie, this book is for sure a great find.

About the book

The perfect handbook for movie-lovers of all ages, helping both kids and parents choose classic and contemporary movies appropriate for the entire family.
Movies are made to entertain! Movies can make you think, teach you a lesson, or just let you escape into a fantasy world for a few hours. This book serves as an interactive bucket list of films for children ages 8 and up to watch before they grow up. 101 Movies to See Before You Grow Up goes beyond mainstream films. From modern flicks to classic films, the list offers a wide selection of "must see" movies. The book is divided into categories and acts as an interactive film journal where kids can document when they see the movie, if they liked it, and how they would rate it. Each page focuses on a single movie with basic information about each film, including the director, runtime, rating, and date of release. There is also a "Film Critic" section at the bottom of each page that allows young movie buffs to write in their own opinions and observations about the movie. 101 Movies to See Before You Grow Up is the perfect handbook for movie-lovers of all ages, helping both kids and parents choose classic and contemporary movies appropriate for the entire family.

Did we like it?

My son loved it. He started going through the pages and looking at the movies I had already recommended and using the useful are under each movie to complete when we saw it and his rating. He also started asking for those movies we have not seen.

This is a great book to use to never run out of ideas for family movie night and also to have as reference when you are looking for a movie to play during play dates. 

We love that not only provides information about the movie such as director, rating, release date and any awards but also gives you quick facts so you can talk about the movies with friends.

The book has six categories: 
  1. Family
  2. Action/Adventure/Drama
  3. Musicals
  4. Sports
  5. School
  6. Documentary/History​

I have a few childhood favorites. I think the top ones would be the Star Wars movies and ET.
