- The Secret Agent 97% · 2025 · ages 15+
- Memento 96% · 2000 · Rated R
A revenge thriller told in reverse, so you're as confused as the hero, who can't form new memories. It's clever, bleak and rewards a second viewing, and it puts you inside his head. - Soul 90% · 2020 · ages 6+
Pixar's funny, thoughtful film about a jazz teacher who loses his body and must work out what makes life worth living. It is warm and inventive, and adults may get more from it than kids. - Coraline 90% · 2009 · ages 8+
Henry Selick's stop-motion fantasy about a bored girl who finds a too-perfect parallel home is creepy, inventive and kind to its heroine. It really is scary for younger kids. - How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming 90% · 2019 · all ages
- Steven Universe: The Movie 90% · 2019 · ages 8+
- Robot Dreams 90% · 2023 · ages 6+

- Inglourious Basterds 89% · 2009 · ages 15+
Tarantino's war fantasy is tense, funny and violent, with opening and basement scenes that rank among his best. The history is rewritten on purpose, and the tone won't suit everyone. - The Sixth Sense 89% · 1999 · ages 11+
A quiet, eerie ghost story about a child psychologist and a frightened boy, built on atmosphere rather than gore. The ending is famous for a reason, and the film is moving as well as scary. - American Psycho 89% · 2000 · ages 15+
A sleek, very dark satire of 1980s greed, built around an investment banker who may be a killer. Christian Bale is superb, but it is graphic, cold and not for the squeamish. - Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero 89% · 2022 · ages 11+
A bright, funny Dragon Ball film that finally gives side characters the spotlight. It looks different from the usual fights and is easy to follow, but it works best if you already know the series. - Jujutsu Kaisen 0 89% · 2021 · ages 11+
- Free Solo 89% · 2018 · ages 8+
- 12th Fail 89% · 2023 · ages 5+
- Little Women 88% · 2019 · ages 7+
Greta Gerwig's version of the March sisters' story is lively, funny and moving, and it's the best of the film versions. Saoirse Ronan leads a very strong cast, and the time-shifting structure works. - Mr. Nobody 88% · 2009 · ages 15+
An old man recalls three different versions of his life, each starting from one childhood choice. It's ambitious, beautiful and emotional, though it's tangled enough that it rewards a second viewing. - Apocalypto 88% · 2006 · ages 15+
A young Mayan hunter flees through the jungle after raiders destroy his village. It's an extremely violent chase film with remarkable stunts and a clear, driving story, and the middle hour is hard to look away from. - Ip Man 88% · 2008 · ages 15+
The story of the kung fu master who taught Bruce Lee, set during the Japanese occupation. Donnie Yen's fight scenes are superb, and the drama around them is simple but solid. - The Secret in Their Eyes 88% · 2009 · ages 15+
- Suzume 88% · 2022 · ages 11+
- Predator: Killer of Killers 88% · 2025 · ages 15+

- Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey 88% · 2018 · ages 13+
- The Avengers 87% · 2012 · ages 10+
The first big team-up of Marvel's heroes is funny, fast and easy to follow, with a good sense of who each character is. It's a crowd-pleaser, but best if you've seen at least a few earlier Marvel films. - Toy Story 2 87% · 1999 · all ages
A sequel that's as good as the original, with Woody kidnapped by a toy collector. It's funny and fast, and has a real emotional heart in Jessie's song. - Donnie Darko 87% · 2001 · ages 15+
A strange, moody cult film about a troubled teenager, a man in a rabbit suit and a possible end of the world. Memorable and haunting, but the plot is deliberately puzzling and not everyone enjoys that. - Die Hard 87% · 1988 · ages 15+
The template for the modern action film, with one tired cop trapped in a skyscraper against a gang of thieves. Funny, tense and cleverly built. It is a Christmas movie if you want it to be. - The Breakfast Club 87% · 1985 · ages 14+
Five teenagers in Saturday detention find out they're less different than they thought. It's talky and a little dated, but the performances and honesty about being a teenager still hold up. - Prey 87% · 2022 · ages 15+
A lean, clever Predator prequel set among the Comanche in 1719, with a sharp heroine and a simple hunt. It's one of the best entries in the series since the original. - Thelma & Louise 87% · 1991 · ages 15+
Two friends take a weekend road trip that turns into a run from the law. Ridley Scott's film is funny, angry and moving, with Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis in terrific form, and a famous ending. - Midnight Sun 87% · 2018 · ages 11+
A teen romance about a girl who can't go out in sunlight. It's earnest and sweet, and audiences clearly loved it, but it follows the tearjerker formula closely. If you like that genre it works well. - A Man Called Otto 87% · 2022 · ages 11+
Tom Hanks plays a grumpy widower whose life changes when a lively family moves in next door. It's funny, tender and a bit corny, but the performances make it work. A good weepy comfort watch. - Dragon Ball Super: Broly 87% · 2018 · ages 11+
A flashy, well-animated Dragon Ball film where Goku and Vegeta face a monstrous new Saiyan. The fights look great, the story is simple, and it works best for people who already know the characters. - Predator: Badlands 87% · 2025 · ages 11+
- Where the Crawdads Sing 87% · 2022 · ages 11+
- A Separation 87% · 2011 · ages 11+

- Dragonkeeper 87% · 2024 · ages 6+
- Edward Scissorhands 86% · 1990 · ages 11+
A gentle, sad fairy tale about an artificial boy with scissors for hands. It's sweet and strange, with Johnny Depp wonderfully silent, and it's Burton at his most heartfelt. - Bullet Train 86% · 2022 · ages 15+
A fast, cartoonish action comedy of assassins crammed onto one Japanese train. It's slick and funny when it works, but it's stylised and can be overlong. - The Fly 86% · 1986 · ages 15+
A scientist tests his teleporter on himself and a fly gets in. It's grotesque, but it's also a moving tragedy, and Jeff Goldblum's performance gives it real heart. - Kubo and the Two Strings 86% · 2016 · ages 6+
A boy with a magic instrument and origami goes on a quest through feudal Japan. The stop-motion is superb to look at, the story is moving and darker than most family films, and it's thoughtful. - Gran Turismo 86% · 2023 · ages 11+
A teenage gamer becomes a real racing driver in a true-ish crowd-pleaser. It's formulaic, but the racing is well shot, David Harbour is solid, and it works as a feel-good sports story even if you've never played the game. - The Woman King 86% · 2022 · ages 11+
- Big George Foreman 86% · 2023 · ages 11+
- Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) 86% · 2021 · ages 11+
- Ex Machina 85% · 2015 · ages 15+
A coder spends a week with a reclusive genius and an artificial woman he built. It's a small, tense, three-person chamber piece that keeps you guessing about who's testing whom. - Rise of the Planet of the Apes 85% · 2011 · ages 11+
A surprisingly moving reboot that makes you care about a chimp raised like a son who turns on humans. Caesar's performance carries the film, though the human characters are thin. - Everything Everywhere All at Once 85% · 2022 · ages 15+
A wild, inventive and surprisingly moving family story that jumps between universes while a mother and daughter try to connect. It's chaotic and not for everyone, but it's original and has real heart. - Seven Pounds 85% · 2008 · ages 11+
A sad, mysterious drama with Will Smith as a man doing something secret and sacrificial. The reveal divides people, but the performances are sincere and the film aims straight at your emotions. - Poor Things 85% · 2023 · ages 15+
A bizarre, inventive and funny story of a woman brought back to life who sets out to see the world. Emma Stone is superb and the sets are wild. It's explicit and strange, and rewards viewers who like to be challenged. - The Princess Bride 85% · 1987 · ages 6+
A fairy tale told with jokes, sword fights and real romance, framed as a story a grandfather reads to a sick boy. It's funny, charming and endlessly quotable, and it works for almost any age. - Descendants 3 85% · 2019 · ages 6+
- All of Us Strangers 85% · 2023 · ages 15+
- Girl in the Basement 85% · 2021 · ages 11+
- Fire of Love 85% · 2022 · ages 8+
- Hereditary 84% · 2018 · ages 15+
Ari Aster's family horror starts as a study of grief and becomes truly disturbing. It's unusually well made, with a superb Toni Collette, but it's slow, bleak and upsetting, and not a fun scare. - Creed 84% · 2015 · ages 11+
A well-acted, emotional boxing drama that honours Rocky while standing on its own. Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone are both strong, and the fights are shot with real energy. - The Valet 84% · 2022 · ages 11+
- Crush 84% · 2022
- The Seed of the Sacred Fig 84% · 2024 · ages 11+
- Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel I. Presage Flower 84% · 2017 · ages 15+
- The Devil Wears Prada 83% · 2006 · ages 11+
A sharp, funny workplace comedy driven by Meryl Streep's icy boss and Anne Hathaway's slow education in ambition. The fashion is fun, but the real appeal is the cost of chasing success. - Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 83% · 2014 · ages 11+
A darker, more thoughtful sequel set after a plague has wiped out most of humanity, with apes and humans on a collision course. Strong effects and serious themes, though some of the human characters are thin. - Die Hard: With a Vengeance 83% · 1995 · ages 14+
The third Die Hard swaps the tower for the whole of New York, and it adds a fun buddy pairing of Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. It's less contained than the first but still a lively action film. - Moneyball 83% · 2011 · ages 11+
A smart sports drama about a baseball manager using numbers to build a team on a tiny budget. Brad Pitt is excellent, and you don't need to know baseball. It's talky more than action-packed. - Ghostbusters: Afterlife 83% · 2021 · ages 11+
A family moves to a small town and finds a link to the original Ghostbusters. It's a warm, nostalgic sequel that works for kids, and fans get plenty of nods, though the last act leans on them. - Babylon 83% · 2022 · ages 15+
Damien Chazelle's three-hour plunge into Hollywood's silent-to-sound change is wild, excessive and often thrilling, but also bloated and uneven. Some find it a bold epic; others find it exhausting. - The Equalizer 3 83% · 2023 · ages 15+
Denzel Washington's retired hitman settles in southern Italy and takes on the local mob. It's a violent, steady action thriller that gives the quiet town and its people room to matter. Fans of the series will be happy. - Palm Springs 83% · 2020 · ages 14+
Two wedding guests are stuck reliving the same day, and the film uses that setup for a funny, tender and surprisingly thoughtful romance. Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti are great together, and it runs a brisk length. - Ip Man 2 83% · 2010 · ages 13+
- Descendants 2 83% · 2017 · ages 5+
- Missing 83% · 2023 · ages 11+
- The Ugly Stepsister 83% · 2025 · ages 16+
- Scream 82% · 1996 · ages 14+
A clever slasher that jokes about horror rules while also working as a proper scary film. The opening is famous for a reason, and the whodunit keeps you guessing. - Mrs. Doubtfire 82% · 1993 · ages 8+
Robin Williams plays a divorced dad who poses as a nanny to see his kids. It's a big, funny, family-friendly comedy, with a warmer and more serious centre than you'd expect. - The Menu 82% · 2022 · ages 15+
A couple travel to a remote island for a tasting dinner, and the chef has other plans. It's a sharp, darkly funny thriller that mocks food snobbery and entitlement, with Ralph Fiennes superb. - Alien: Romulus 82% · 2024 · ages 15+
A group of young scavengers meets the creature on a derelict station. It's a tense, good-looking return to the series' haunted-house roots that leans heavily on its predecessors. - Bad Boys: Ride or Die 82% · 2024 · ages 15+
The Miami cops are back on the run, in a loud, bloody and funny action sequel. It's sloppy at times, but the chemistry between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence still works, and the action scenes are inventive. - Labyrinth 82% · 1986 · ages 8+
- Pearl 82% · 2022 · ages 15+
- Hocus Pocus 2 82% · 2022 · ages 7+
