Streaming services and video-on-demand shops regularly add films after cinema releases, with some titles included in subscriptions and others available to rent or buy separately. The choices can range from big studio franchises to lower-budget independent films, alongside new versions of older stories.
This selection includes animated comedy built around the Minions characters, a film about Michael Jackson’s rise from childhood performer to solo star, and a contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet starring Riz Ahmed. It also includes a Jackass retrospective centred on its stunt performers and a drama about a teenager responding to the threat of violence at his school.
