• How do we come up with our list?

This is not your standard story of someone wanting to break through class barriers. Instead this psychological thriller is sharp and wickedly funny, with plenty of shocking moments and surprises that will keep you talking long after the film has finished.

You have Oscar winners and best friends Ben Affleck and Matt Damon teaming up once again, surrounded by an all-star cast. With all the talent on the court and coming off the bench, Air proves to be a champion.

Coming 2 America is funny and comforting. It's perfect for fans of the original who want to see their favourite characters once again.

Rosamund Pike gives an amazing performance in the lead role, but that's just the cherry on top. I Care a Lot is engaging, fast-paced, funny, clever and outrageous. You'll be glued to the screen from beginning to end.

The Mauritanian is heartbreaking and riveting. If that's not reason enough to tune in, Jodie Foster and Tahar Rahim are excellent.

A stunning and powerful movie, Sound of Metal is a triumph. With a great performance from Riz Ahmed in the lead, it's the kind of film you'll be thinking about long after the end credits roll.

One Night in Miami... is a phenomenal movie with excellent performances from everyone involved. As the title suggests, the story is set over the course of a monumental night, but the themes the movie touches on are as relevant today as they were back in the 60s.

Moving and compelling, Sylvie's Love will make you sigh and say something along the lines of "they don't make movies like this anymore". Thankfully, they do. Stream the movie when you're in the mood for an old-fashioned, memorable romance.

Poignant and insightful, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm may be even smarter than the original. Don't worry though, it's just as hilarious.

Inspiring and often hilarious, the premise of Brittany Runs a Marathon can seem overdone – after all, it follows someone who is struggling to overcome the odds and achieve success.

Totally Killer mixes genres with ease, from slasher, 80s nostalgia, time travel, comedy and more. You wouldn’t think a combination like that would work, but it does.

John Wick ushered in a whole new wave of action films and is a thrill ride from start to finish. Also, it’s the best example of why you should never come between someone and their puppy.

Timothée Chalamet and Steve Carell both deliver mesmerising performances in this inspiring tale of addiction, survival, recovery and relapse. Beautiful Boy is often devastating, but it’s a fascinating and important movie as it doesn't glamourise drug use. Instead, it perfectly captures addiction in its most destructive form.

Val paints an intimate portrait of a complex man. Whether you're a fan or just a movie buff in general, this insightful and revelatory documentary is a must-watch.

A mind-bending affair, the movie grabs you from the very first scene, taking you on an adventure for the ages. The Green Knight isn't afraid to get weird – and is that much better for it.

Romantic comedy I Want You Back is a good time, mainly thanks to the appealing cast. You'll fall head over heels for these characters in no time.

A slow spy thriller with a heart-breaking romance at its core, All the Old Knives excels thanks to the palpable chemistry between the leads. Pine and Newton are wonderful together.

A romantic comedy with an appealing cast, My Fake Boyfriend may not reinvent the genre, but it's a fun watch nonetheless. Stream it when you crave something light and breezy.

Despite the contrived premise, Don't Make Me Go works thanks to the chemistry between the leads, John Cho and Mia Isaac. The movie packs a polarising twist but it's an emotional journey worth taking.

If you're up for a cheerful and sweet rom-com, then Red, White & Royal Blue is definitely one to check out.

Spider-Man: Homecoming was the first full-length movie appearance of Tom Holland as Spider-Man. His charm and naivety as the famous webslinger has made the role his own and endeared him to many.

Thirteen Lives is suspenseful even if you already know the outcome of the story, managing to grip you throughout. It's also quite inspiring.

While there might be nostalgia vibes for its throwback 90s legal drama feel, The Burial is crowd-pleasing and funny. Plus, the epic performances of Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones are a sight to behold.

Goodnight Mommy is a dark psychological thriller rich in atmosphere, one that might give you the creeps. If you're looking for an unsettling watch, you're in the right place.

A perfect watch during spooky season, My Best Friend's Exorcism is goofy and thrilling. If you miss the 80s, even better.

Bella Ramsey is a delight in the lead role, embodying a wonderful character you'll be cheering for in no time. This tender tale makes Catherine Called Birdy an enchanting watch for viewers of all ages.

Meet Cute is funny at times, heartbreaking at others. With a Kaley Cuoco in top form, it will give you a lot to think about.

Call Jane is timely, well-crafted and inspired by true events. If you love period dramas, it's not to miss.

An action-packed rom-com, Shotgun Wedding is pure popcorn entertainment. We suggest you RSVP "yes".
