All film classification decisions are based on the British Board of Film Classification’s (BBFC) published and regularly updated guidelines.
 | To be confirmed - In some instances films had not been certified before the website was uploaded. |
 | U Universal – Suitable for all
A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over, although it is impossible to predict what might upset any particular child. U films should be set within a positive framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror. If a work is particularly suitable for pre-school children, this will be indicated in the ratings info. |
 | Parental Guidance - General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children.
A PG film should not unsettle a child aged around eight or older. Unaccompanied children of any age may watch, but parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger, or more sensitive, children.. |
 | 12A with Parental Guidance.
Films classified 12A contain material that is not generally suitable for children aged under 12. No one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Adults planning to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable for that child. To help them decide, we recommend that they check the Ratings info for that film in advance. |
 | 15 - Suitable only for persons of 15 years and older.
No one younger than 15 may see a 15 film in a cinema. Please note: proof of age may be required. |
 | 18 - Suitable only for persons of 18 years and older.
No one younger than 18 may see an 18 film in a cinema. Please note: proof of age may be required |
