10.Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban (JK Rowling)
Harry Potter, Ron, and Hermione return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their year of study, where they delve into the mystery surrounding an escaped prisoner who poses a dangerous threat to the young wizard.

7.Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (Roald Dahl)
A poor but hopeful boy seeks one of the five coveted golden tickets that will send him on a tour of Willy Wonka’s mysterious chocolate factory.

5.The Secret Garden (Frances Hodgson Burnett)
A young, recently – orphaned girl is sent to England after living in India all of her life. Once there, she begins to explore her new, seemingly – isolated surroundings, and its secret. Quietly this is secretly powerful and I grow up watching this film, the acting is amazing and they are convincing in their roles, it might be rather dated for some people but this is still a beautiful film and it will move you, the story is brilliant and it is simple to follow, this is one of the best versions of this film.

3.The Bad Guys (Aaron Blabey)
To avoid prison, a gang of notorious animal criminals pretends to seek being rehabilitated, only for their leader to realize that he genuinely wants to change his ways. Too be honest with you I was surprised with this film, it tries to be something different which I admire and it has got great characters, this is funny and I like the moral of being different and is dealing with appearances, I personally connect with the message and the idea behind this film is genius.
2.Charlotte’s Web (EB White)
Wilbur the pig is scared of the end of the season, because he knows that come that time, he will end up on the dinner table. He hatches a plan with Charlotte, a spider that lives in his pen, to ensure that this will never happen. Still a masterpiece as this film is suitable for all ages and a family viewing, it is sad, happy, uplifting and an underdog type of film which you needed, this is likeable and it will made you smile, it is charming and the story itself is brilliant and powerful.
1.The Polar Express (Chris Van Allsburg)
