We didn’t have a video or a computer or anything like that when I was younger. Sometimes though, my Dad, who was a primary school teacher, would get to bring home some bit of equipment from school for the summer holidays, which was VERY EXCITING INDEED.
(Kids nowadays are spoilt really with everything being so instant – the BBC computer arriving home at the end of July was an epic experience.)
When I was about ten years old and my sister was six, we had the video one holidays, so we went to see the slightly dubious man across the road who did dodgy videos, and he lent us E.T. In the opening sequence, where E.T. gets left behind, my Mum put on a baby voice and said ‘Mummy, Mummy, don’t go!’ My sister and I both burst into tears and pretty much cried for the whole of the rest of the film.
(We didn’t often watch films so we may have been a little over sensitive to the whole situation.)

However.
Permanent emotional trauma aside, E.T. is definitely one of those films that you really must watch, a statement which is backed up by a new list that’s just been put out by educational film charity Into Film.
The list is of 50 films to see before you’re 11 – a mix of classic and contemporary films that shape a childhood. It’s a bit like the whole National Trust ‘things to do before you’re 11 3/4′ thing, but easier for you as the parent because it involves less pond dipping and more sitting down quietly.
The must see kids’ films list includes a lot of my favourites, such as Toy Story, Mary Poppins, Coraline, Nanny McPhee and Paddington.
Being the competitive type of person that I am, I counted, and I have seen 34 of the 50, which I think probably means I need to spend more time pond dipping. The full list is here and I KNOW you’re going to go and count yourself now. You won’t be able to resist.
How to win 50 must see kids’ films
Don’t worry if your family are a little lacking in the list department, as Into Film is giving me a set of ALL FIFTY FILMS to give away, on DVD. It’s an awesome prize. Quite possibly the MOST awesome prize I’ve ever given away, and it’s just in time for the summer holidays too.
There are loads of ways to enter, all of which are unlocked when you do the first one: simply pop over to see the list of must see kids’ films in full and leave a comment on this post telling me which is your favourite.
Register your comment in the widget below and you’ll see all the other entries pop up. Do as many as you can – this is one prize you really don’t want to miss out on. The competition will close at 11.59pm on July 10th and is open to UK residents only.
Good luck!
The guide to the 50 films every child should see before they grow up has been created by film education charity Into Film, in partnership with the UK video industry to launch the ‘Must See Movies Before you Grow Up’ campaign, which will see all 50 films distributed by retailers this summer.

Frozen
A great range of new and old cult classics for all ages :-)
Annie! I love watching this film :) x
The Lion King is always great
I ALWAYS get drawn in to Mary Poppins whenever it is on – even if I just catch it when I am channel hopping
the songs are amazing
I think it’s probably ET The Extra Terriestrial, geat movie.
Great list – but there’s a few classics missing. Most importantly, Labyrinth!
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is my favourite from that list as I remember watching lots as a child!
love it
Star Wars: A New Hope (although Spirited Away would be a very close second – we love Studio Ghibli)
My favorite Disney film is Ariel the little mermaid
My fave has to be ET. Purely for nostalgic reasons. It came out in 1981 when I was only one, but it was a firm family favourite in my house so I’ve probably seen it 100’s of times. What a great bundle of films!
Dumbo is a favourite of mine :)
The first film I saw at the “pictures” was Star Wars which filled me with awe and wonder. I was just blown away by the whole experience. The best film I saw as a kid though was Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. Loved the colours the music the whole idea of going to a place like that.
It has to be ET, it is one of the first films I went to see at the cinema as a child x
It would seem I’ve only seen 25/50 do I have some work to do. Interesting article and a good excuse to watch some more films
Tough choice! But Im going with ET – a classic from my childhood with fond memories of watching it!
I love ET & would love to watch it again. My sister could never watch it when we were kids as she hated crying at films. She may manage it now she’s 36. Think my sons would love it too!
Toy Story – it is such an amazing, funny film that I can go back to time and again. Works for adults and kids too I think. :)
Shrek for me. Funny no matter what age or how many times we watch it
WOW what a great giveaway so many great movies toy story is is my favourite film
Oliver! Oh my gosh I remember sitting on my great Nan’s red and white sofa watching Oliver with her!

ET The Extra Terrestrial – I was a student when this film came out and my first 2 initials are ET – oh the mockery from the bank clerks in the bank in the foyer to the student union bar! Watched it again recently with my kids – all 3 of us sobbed our way through it.
It’s a fairly recent one, but I really enjoyed Zootropolis, and made my family watch it with me.
The Witches
The Jungle Book – absolutely perfect movie, and we know all the songs!
The Witches, loved that film!
So many fantastic films! I think my favourite from this list is Paddington as it’s just the ultimate feel good movie and Paddington and the Brown family are just so warm and lovely :)

I LOVE WATCHING ANNIE WITH MY SONS
Myself and my daughter loved Coraline when we went to the cinema to see it…would love to see it again… fab giveway
The Secret Garden is a particular favourite of ours, also Swallows and Amazons, although I am not familiar with this version, so I would be interested to see it.
I’d have to go with Star Wars : A New Hope
