1. Brick (Netflix)

This German sci-fi thriller might not have had the best reviews, but that hasn't stopped it being a huge hit with viewers, with Comic Book Resources reporting that it soared to the top of the global film charts just two days after its release. Brick follows couple Tim and Olivia, who find themselves trapped in their apartment block after a mysterious, impenetrable brick wall springs up outside their door. When they discover their neighbours are facing the same fate they are forced to work together to find an escape route - and figure out just what is going on (Picture: Sasha Ostrov)

2. Madea's Destination Wedding (Netflix)

Tyler Perry's on a roll at the moment following the enormous success of his psychological thriller Straw - but his latest release for Netflix couldn't be more different. The actor/director is once again slipping into the role of mouthy matriarch Medea, this time heading to the Bahamas, as the daughter of Madea's nephew Brian (also played by Perry) prepares to tie the knot with a rapper. Plenty of slapstick and hi-jinks ensue, along with a healthy dose of heartwarming family drama (Picture: Perry Well Films 2/Netflix)

3. Karate Kid: Legends (Apple TV+)

Moving on, here's a franchise most of us will recognise in an instant. It's been around since the mid-80s after all. This movie, the sixth instalment in the series, follows kung fu prodigy Li Fong (Ben Wang) as he moves to New York with hismother, only to find himself at odds with a local karate champion. Thankfully the original Karate Kid, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and kung fu master Mr Han (Jackie Chan) are on hand to help. A nostalgic treat for fans of the original, and a great intro to the series for those too young to remember it (Picture: CTMG/Sony Pictures/Jonathan Wenk)

4. Heads Of State (Amazon Prime Video)

Moving on to Amazon Prime Video, here's a fun action thriller boasting a string of familiar faces - notably Idris Elba and John Cena. The pair play, respectively, the UK Prime Minister and the US President, who are locked in a public rivalry that might just threaten the 'special relationship' of the two countries. Until Air Force One is shot down over enemy territory and they end up having to join forces to save the world from a global conspiracy (Picture: Amazon Content Services LLC)

5. Bono: Stories Of Surrender (Apple TV+)

If you're a fan of U2 this is one you won't want to miss - and even if the Irish rockers aren't your cuppa this documentary film still makes for compelling viewing. Stories of Surrender brings Bono's 2023 one-man show at New York's Beacon Theatre to the screen, as the U2 frontman performs some of his classic hits and talks candidly about his life, faith and personal relationships. Shot in black and white, the movie received a seven-minute standing ovation when it premiered at Cannes earlier this year. And if that's not enough to convince you we don't know what is (Picture: AP)

6. The Phoenician Scheme (Amazon Prime Video)

Wes Anderson's latest effort has landed on streaming just weeks after it was released in cinemas, and it's another gem from the quirky cult director, full of dazzling visuals, eccentric characters and some very familiar faces. Benicio del Toro takes the lead as Zsa Zsa Korda, one of the richest men in Europe who tries to mend his relationship with his only daughter (Mia Threapleton) while at the same time embarking on a new enterprise, one fraught with peril. The likes of Riz Ahmed, Michael Cera, Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright and Benedict Cumberbatch all show up to join in the fun (Picture: AP)

The Trainwreck series has been keeping us all hooked in recent weeks, covering everything from the infamous Carnival 'poop cruise' of 2013 to the Travis Scott Astroworld disaster, and the rise and fall of American Apparel. And here's another jaw-dropper. Project X refers to an incident in the small Dutch town of Haren in 2012, when a teenage girl planning her 16th birthday party on Facebook accidentally made the invite public. Cue the inevitable mayhem as it went viral and thousands of uninvited guests showed up (Picture: Netflix)
