Father-daughter film critics and podcast hosts Leonard Maltin and Jessie Maltin team with Turner Classic Movies for the essential guide to 25 family-friendly classic films, paired with delicious and simple recipes to make movie-watching a next-level experience for all ages.
Family Movie Night Menus is the ultimate guide to family-friendly classic movie viewing. In this volume, bestselling author and critic Leonard Maltin teams with his daughter and Maltin on Movies podcast host Jessie Maltin to help introduce classics in the same way he did with his own family: by sharing the best of the best that's fit for the enjoyment of a range of ages from pre-school on up. And just like in the Maltin household, enhancing the experience with easy dishes--from snacks to entrees and desserts--inspired by the films to make together only adds to the experience.
Each entry includes a film profile filled with behind-the-scenes stories about the production, stars, and filmmakers; moments to watch (or watch out) for; recommended further viewing; and a recipe inspired by the film to make together before the credits roll and enjoy while watching. The movies span one silent entry ( The Kid), through classic horror ( Bride of Frankenstein), to legendary stories ( The Wizard of Oz), musicals ( The Sound of Music), can't miss adventures ( Star Wars), and modern must-sees ( Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone).
Other featured titles include: Meet Me in St. Louis(1944), A Tree Grows in Brooklyn(1945), Singin' in the Rain(1952), To Kill a Mockingbird (1963), Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1973), E.T. the Extra Terrestrial(1982), Princess Bride(1987), Addams Family(1991), The Secret Garden(1993), Enchanted(2007), and more!
