12 Years a Slave
This Oscar-winning powerhouse of a movie is a tough watch, but it’s an accurate and moving portrayal of a time worth remembering. Pick your moment though, there are some tough scenes.
Runtime: 2 hr 14 mins.
IMDB rating: 8.1/10
Awards: Academy Award for Best Picture.

After almost 20 years, the oceanic tragedy sensation that is Titanic still looks great and feels even better. The film that launched a thousand parodies is a long one, but well worth the effort for a re-watch or two.

Awards: Academy Award for Best Picture.
Saving Mr Banks
This movie is a very light drama, and recommended when you’re in the mood for something that is fun and sincere in equal measure. It’s the story of Walt Disney and his attempts to woo Mary Poppins author PL Travers into allowing him to make the movie that would become a Disney classic.
Runtime: 2 hrs 6 mins.
IMDB rating: 7.5/10
Awards: Nominated for an Academy Award and Golden Globe

This is a powerful story of divorce and its impact not only on the children, but on the adults. This is one that will require a bowl of popcorn and box of tissues. It looks a little old fashioned now, but I dare you not to be moved.
Runtime: 2 hrs 5 mins.
IMDB rating: 6.6/10
Awards: Nominated for a Golden Globe
Last King of Scotland
Now for something very different. If you missed this tense drama about a young doctor who travels to Uganda, and winds up in the inner circle of dictator Idi Amin, then it’s a must see. It will have you on the edge of your seat, and Forest Whitaker gives an astounding performance.
Runtime: 2 hrs 3 mins.
