We’re living in strange times right now. Thankfully, being entertained at home is no longer reliant on popping out to your local Blockbuster and rewinding VHS tapes. Thanks to streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer, Now TV, the upcoming Disney+ and many more, we can unlock a glorious treasure chest of content with the click of a few buttons. 

However, with such bounty comes a dilemma: what should you watch? Each platform will have an algorithm that may suggest you view ‘Spy Kids 4’ on repeat. But if you’re bored with the adventures of those miniature espionage experts and looking to expand the catalogue of films you’ve seen, here’s a selection of great movies streaming right now that you may have missed.
