1. The End of Oak Street (HBO Max)
You’re telling me it was always possible to make another fun, frightening dinosaur movie that’s not Jurassic Park and for some reason no one was doing it until now? What was everyone waiting for? Indeed, David Robert Mitchell’s big-budget B-movie has both Amblin and The Twilight Zone in its DNA. In the 1980s, a rare scientific event causes an entire city block to get sucked into wormhole and transported back to prehistoric times, forcing a suburban family headed by Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor to fight for their lives against spinosaureses, pterodactyls and a massive titanoboa. Again, it’s extremely fun – and pretty nasty at points. Read Time Out’s review.

2. Misty Green (Netflix)
Chris Rock’s directorial resume is spotty in the extreme, and this satirical A Star Is Born riff isn’t likely to change his reputation as a filmmaker. Rosalind Eleazar, maybe best recognised from Slow Horses, is a former star clawing her back to the top, at the cost of her soul. It says very little about Hollywood that hasn’t already been said before, but Eleazar’s performance makes it well worth the time. Read Time Out’s review.

3. Avengers: Endgame Encore (Disney+)
Relive the glory days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe before it reboots itself next month by revisiting the culmination of the Phase 3 saga – the film which, barring an unexpected box-office megaquake from Doomsday, will probably stand as the apex of comic book movies in general. Much like a Taylor Swift album variant, Endgame Encore adds bits of cutting-room detritus to the megahit original as a means of “preparing” viewers for the next epic entry. Read Time Out’s review of the original Avengers: Endgame.

4. Avedon (Netflix)
Ron Howard explores the career of photographer Richard Avedon, whose still portraits often contained enough life and movement that they seemed like movies, anyway.
5. Heartland (Netflix)
Jessica Chastain is a washed-up country singer who goes a-searchin’ for her missing niece in the underbelly of Nashville in this drama from Shana Feste, who previously countrified Gwyneth Paltrow in the movie Country Strong.
