Worth watching on Netflix UK:

The Hunger Games (2012)

Jeniffer Lawrence plays Katniss Everdeen, a girl who takes the place of her sister after being chosen to compete in 'The Hunger Games'. Kind of a Western version of the Chinese film 'Battle Royale', kids killing kids with any means possible. A great film, but has been produced with family in mind. 8/10

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

3 convicts escape their chain gang in the deep south of America in the 1930's leading to an epic adventure. Based on Homer's Odyssey, the trio meet many a foe on their journey to freedom. One of my favourite films with an incredible soundtrack. 10/10

Project Nim (2011)

The sad story of a chimp taken from it's parents in the 1970's to be risen with humans to show the capability to learn language when raised in a human environment. Interesting documentary film that will evoke every emotion. 6/10

Hook (1991)

Robin Williams and  Dustin Hoffman take a different look at the classic fairytale of 'Peter pan'. A classic film from my childhood that never fails to make me smile. 'RU-FI-OOOO!!' 8/10.

The Strangers (2008)

A chilling horror film, telling the story of a couple stranded in a holiday cottage that gets terrorised by 3 people out for trouble. Not critically acclaimed but the fact it could happen, sends shivers down my spine. 6/10

Worth watching on Netflix US:

Marvels Avengers (2012)

Jam packed with Hollywood celebs, Avengers Assemble sees well known Marvel super heroes come together to kick the butt of any baddy in their way. I was really impressed the way all the individual films from each super hero are worked into this one to keep continuity. Great action/adventure film. 8/10

James and the Giant Peach (1996)

A classic Roald Dahl book turned into a charming Walt Disney film, telling the story of poor James who escapes his nasty aunts to set off on a great adventure in a giant peach with some interesting friends. Another childhood favourite. 8/10

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

A high school student decides to have a day of school, much to the disapproval of his principal. *Hilarity ensues*. A classic film that really needs to be added to your favourites list. 7/10 

The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

Another chilling horror, more twists than a bag of pretzels. A group of friends go for a break in a cabin in the woods, funny that. But there might be more than meets the eye to this lodging. Really creepy... 7/10

Super 8 (2011)

A Steven Spielberg film set in 1979 shows a group of friends witness a train crash while trying to make a 'Super 8' film, leads to unexplainable events in their town. A fantastic film that has a brilliant story and filmed brilliantly. 9/10
