Movies you just can't miss

Now’s the perfect time to catch up on all those movies you’ve always wanted to watch but never quite got round to. But it’s hard to know where to start on your new found movie marathon. But we’re to help.

Find an old jar and a few sheets of paper, write down all the films below (and add any others you have in mind), and cut them out. Fold them up and put them in the far and give them a good ol’ shake.

Whenever you’re ready to watch a film, pull one out of the jar and hurrah – decision made!
