Notable Mention
Saltburn (2023), a film that has been divisive, features Barry Keoghan in a role that requires a terrible Scouse accent. The story follows vulnerable and shy student Oliver Quick as he navigates the early-mid '00s at Oxford University.
Classic Titles
Some timeless movie musicals like The Lion King, Matilda, Aladdin, Les Misérables, and Hamilton remain staples in live theatre, with some having film versions accessible on various platforms. However, their 2025 streaming availability depends on region and licensing.

28 Weeks Later (2007) is the sequel to 28 Days Later and offers a post-apocalyptic thrill. In this film, a US task force sets up a colony of survivors in a safe zone, but chaos ensues when the children of a survivor bring the virus into the safe zone.

Secretary (2002) is an erotic drama that explores the complex relationship between a timid and fragile young woman named Lee (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and her boss E. Edward Grey (James Spader), who has a sadistic attitude.
