Ever felt stumped for a film to watch with your family? Would you like to discover films from countries you've never visited, set in fantastical worlds or in a local neighbourhood that looks very different to your own, or silent films, or films from Hollywood's heyday? 100 Films to Watch Before You Grow Up is an essential and accessible guide to one hundred films from over a century of cinema and from around the world, from the United States and countries across Europe as well as Japan, Iran, Australia and New Zealand, India, Senegal and Saudi Arabia.

Ben Howarth is a former teacher, who also spent six years as a Compliance Officer at the British Board of Film Classification, where his job was to watch films and decide what age rating they should be. He has previously worked for Into Film, an organisation that works with primary and secondary schools to help encourage young people to discover the wonders of cinema. Ben continues to work in media classification, and enjoys watching movies with his sons Luke and Joel.
