Top family friendly movies for the school holidays

With studies revealing that 80% of the UK population watches films at home at least once a month or more, Carphone Warehouse has created The Massive Movie Calendar  which offers movie inspiration 365 days a year to families who want to spend some quality time together.

With each movie suggestion being linked in some way to a particular day of the year, the calendar offers a selection of 365 handpicked movies including action-thrillers, romantic dramas, classics, breakthrough global cinema, sci-fi and more.
