	Movies - List of childhood-related films

This article is not about films especially made for children but on the treatment of childhood in films primarily addressing adults. Although the following list is far from complete the number of serious feature films with children as main characters is surprisingly small. The cinema of Iran may prove to be an exception. There are not many well-known documentaries about children.
