GQ's Best Disney Plus guide is updated monthly
Gone are the days when Disney just meant puffy-dressed damsels and cartoon barnyard animals with tuneful whistles. Now, it's basically everything. It's Marvel, it's Star Wars, it's Fox, it's Hulu. Thanks, Capitalism.
What this means is that Disney+ has more or less anything you want, from multiversal superhero joints and classic sitcoms to buzzy audience faves and, yes, an entire arsenal of animated films that will momentarily whisk you back to childhood.
If you need some direction in the winding hallways of Disney's Princess Castle of chaos, we've got you covered. Here's everything worth watching on Disney+ right now.
And if you'd rather look for the best Netflix shows and films to watch this week, check out our guides.
Hulu1/49The Bear season 3
The Bear's back, baby. The culinary TV show that has taken streaming by storm over the past couple of years — launching Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri from relative unknown status into bonafide stardom — returns for its third season in June, picking up with Carmy, Sydney, and the rest of the gang as they face down the trials and travails of running a Chicago sandwich shop (it's a lot more stress than you might realise). “Yes chef” and “cousin” will burn themselves back into your personal lexicon before you can say “service!” You can watch The Bear on Disney+, with season 3 arriving on 27 June.

Alien 3
David Fincher has all but disowned his Alien threequel, which he famously agreed to direct before the script had been finalised, resulting in the story changing throughout the shoot and an end product that has some naysayers scratching their heads. Let us be among the Alien 3 apologists to say that Fincher himself is wrong: this grim, muddy affair is Alien at its most human, ironically, drilling into the psychological trauma suffered by Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in the wake of, well, being stalked through space by a hulking monster that literally bleeds acid. It's a nihilistic masterwork that some have described as anti-audience — spoiler alert, it kills off the survivors of Aliens aside from Ripley, and her fate by the end of it hardly sings with optimism — but there's something deeper going on, here, that makes up for it. You can watch Alien 3 on Disney+.
- 3/49
The Americans
Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell star as a pair of deep cover Soviet agents in ‘80s Washington D.C. in The Americans, a Cold War espionage thriller full of intrigue, murder — all of the stuff you’d expect to find in a modern spy novel. Though much of the show is concerned with the greater geopolitical ramifications of the couple's snooping behind enemy lines, the show really sings when it zooms into the interpersonal consequences for their family and the other people around them. Oh, and to ratchet up the tension just a little bit, an FBI agent moves in down the road. One of the greatest shows of the prestige TV era. You can watch The Americans on Disney+.
- 4/49
Poor Things
Lots of people noted that the Disney+ warning at the start of Yorgos Lanthimos's Poor Things noted its inclusion of smoking. Honey, you've got a big storm coming. Don't let that disclaimer trick you into thinking this is a safe film to watch with your parents. Emma Stone nabbed her second Oscar for playing Bella Baxter, a reanimated woman with the brain of her own foetus literally coming of age before our eyes. Bella is unburdened by shame and polite decorum, so we see her feast on all of earth's carnal pleasures like mindless sex and egg tarts with abandon. Come for the avant-garde take on a Frankenstein story, stay for Mark Ruffalo chewing scenery as a hammy, villainous wanker. You can watch Poor Things on Disney+.
- 5/49
Shōgun
Shōgun might be the best thing on TV that you're not watching right now. The historical Japanese epic is the kind of grim and gruesome stuff that will make those white guys with a weird fascination with ancient Japan (you know the ones) put their replica samurai swords down for a minute. The series revolves around three intertwining stories – an Englishman who washes up on Japan's shores, a king clinging to power against political adversaries and a woman desperate to prove herself above her less-than-desirable family situation. If you're still mourning Game of Thrones, the mix of brutality and political intrigue at play in Shōgun will more than fill the gap. You can watch Shōgun on Disney+.
- 6/49
All of Us Strangers
Be sure to hydrate before settling in to watch All of Us Strangers, because by the end you'll likely have sobbed out at least half your body weight. Starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal, this queer grief drama is, well, exactly that. Scott plays a lonely screenwriter mulling over his parents' early deaths, while Mescal plays the mysterious hunk who's moved in down the hall. It's sexy where it needs to be, and then rip your heart out devastating for the rest. You can watch All of Us Strangers on Disney+.

Titanic
Look, it's Titanic. You know how it goes. Young Leo is at his Young Leo-est and Kate Winslet is at the peak of her power. Together, they tell a tragic, doomed love story against the backdrop of one of modern history's greatest tragedies. All we ask is that you don't fall into the trap of trying to figure out if Jack could fit on that door at the end. Nothing good will come of it. You can watch Titanic on Disney+.
- 8/49
Only Murders in the Building
Are we 100% sure Only Murders in the Building isn't some kind of money laundering scheme for A-list celebrities? In its three seasons (fourth incoming), it's roped in everyone from Paul Rudd to literal Meryl Streep to get in on the action of the unlikely friendship story of three true crime podcasters (played by Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short). In each season, there's a new murder, which should seem farfetched, but the show is such a delight you honestly don't really care. Ahead of the fourth outing, which will bring back Meryl along with Zack Galifianakis and Kumail Nanjiani, catch up on the three completed so far. You can watch Only Murders in the Building on Disney+.
- 9/49
Spy
To this day, it's one of life's great tragedies that Spy never got a sequel, mainly because it is surely the best Jason Statham performance in existence. The Paul Feig film centres around a meek CIA analyst (played by Melissa McCarthy) who launches herself into the field to prevent a global disaster. McCarthy is the star of the film, undoubtedly, but it's Statham's take on a suave, 007-esque super spy that really hits the sweet spot. Statham isn't typically someone looking to take the piss out of himself, but somehow Feig got him to in this and it's a shame of epic proportions that he doesn't do it more. There are also great supporting roles from Jude Law, Miranda Hart and Peter Serafinowicz. You can watch Spy on Disney+.

Under the Banner of Heaven
Under the Banner of Heaven's grizzly inspiration is the stuff of true-crime-to-tv-adaptation dreams: A particularly gruesome murder set against the backdrop of one of modern-day's most confounding mega-religions, the Mormon Church. Andrew Garfield plays a Mormon police detective in an LDS-run suburb of Salt Lake City who is tasked with figuring out who might have brutally murdered a woman (played by Daisy Edgar Jones) and her baby in their sleepy enclave. Part murder-mystery, part evisceration of unyielding religious devotion, the series is based on a real crime that took place in 1984. You can watch Under the Banner of Heaven on Disney+.

The Banshees of Inisherin
The Banshees of Inisherin is proof that a friendship breakup can hurt harder than a romantic one, especially when it seems to come out of nowhere and because the vibes were just off. Martin McDonagh's 2023 Oscar darling, set against the backdrop of a remote island off the coast of Ireland in the 20s, stars a veritable feast of Irish gems like Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan, and excavates the ramifications of getting the ick from your best mate and making it absolutely everyone's problem. You can watch The Banshees of Inisherin on Disney+.
- 12/49
The Menu
Here's one for the Ralph Fiennes lovers of the world. The Menu sticks a kebab skewer through the hoity-toity world of fine dining… sort of. Less a class satire with chomping bite, it's more a comedy in which rich people are forced to endure debilitating humiliations served up on a polished plate. Fiennes portrays a scorned chef who, backed by a cult-like kitchen crew, invites a series of VIPs to his private island. Course by course service gets weirder and, eventually, life-threatening. Bon appétit. You can watch The Menu on Disney+.
- 13/49
Die Hard with a Vengeance
One of three Die Hard movies that is socially acceptable to watch outside of the festive window — and easily the best of them — Die Hard with a Vengeance reunites us with a washed-up John McClane (Bruce Willis) in his native New York. His wife has left him; he's on the metaphorical curb with a bottle in his gob. Things can't get worse, right? Wrong! Hans Gruber's (Alan Rickman's suave terrorist in Die Hard) brother (Jeremy Irons, too devilishly debonair) turns up to exact revenge for the death of his little bro, forcing McClane to complete a series of kindergarten games across the Big Apple. This time, thank god, he has a helping hand in the form of Samuel L. Jackson. It rips. You can watch Die Hard with a Vengeance on Disney+.
- 14/49
Theater Camp
Molly Gordon, Nick Lieberman and Dear Evan Hansen's Ben Platt send up their AmDram roots in Theater Camp, a hilariously witty, self-effacing mockumentary based around a down-in-the-dumps summer drama school. After beloved founder Joan (Amy Sedaris) suffers a seizure and ends up in a coma, the campers come together to work together on a musical of the camp leaders' (Platt and Gordon) invention, Joan, Still. It's joyous, funny, and surprisingly moving; you'll feel like you're a kid again. (Especially if your Glee-obsessed childhood saw you taxied around an array of similarly ramshackle drama clubs.) You can watch Theater Camp on Disney+.
- 15/49
A Murder at the End of the World
Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij's follow-up to The OA sees Emma Corrin (one-time Princess Di in The Crown) portray an amateur sleuth with a knack for tech who becomes embroiled in a murder-mystery at a remote Arctic retreat. Harris Dickinson puts in a cracking shift — as he always does — as Corrin's former partner. Once you've made your way through the show, read all about its twisty finale here. You can watch A Murder at the End of the World on Disney+.
- 16/49
The X-Files
It struck fear into the hearts of late Millennials across the globe, but now, confront the terror. Because The X-Files isn't just a gem from a bygone era for cable TV; even divorced from its lofty legacy, it remains a banger through-and-through, elevated by some of the best, most scintillating — hell, titillating! — small screen chemistry we've ever seen between David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. You know the score: He was an FBI agent obsessed with the paranormal / She was his pointedly skeptical partner / Can I make it any more obvious? Catch up before the reboot arrives, helmed by writer Chris Carter and Black Panther's Ryan Coogler. You can watch The X-Files on Disney+.
- 17/49
What We Do in the Shadows
Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement's 2014 mockumentary comedy about vampires living in modern-day New Zealand was a cult sleep hit. When it was announced it was being remade as a US TV series, there was some valid grumbling (US remakes don't have the best track record). What great news, then, that it turned out to be really bloody (ahem) great. The undead are transported from Wellington to Staten Island, and there are breakout performances from Matt Berry (giving the most Matt Berry of all performances), Kayvan Novak, Natasia Demetriou and Harvey Guillén. Now prepping for its fifth season, the series has been a runaway hit, nabbing A-list guest stars like Mark Hamill, Wesley Snipes and Waititi. You can watch What We Do in the Shadows on Disney+.
- 18/49
Fight Club
Yes, the film that spawned a thousand nihilistic, anti-capitalist, “You just wouldn’t get it” dudebros is on Disney+. David Fincher's most enduring film is peak Y2K, a pre-9/11 snapshot of a world where the concept of selling out was the darkest stain to avoid and The Man was the world's greatest enemy. Edward Norton plays ‘The Narrator’ while Brad Pitt (looking the best anyone has ever looked on screen) plays Tyler Durden. Together, they're a terrible soap-making pair who like to punch the shit out of people. We'd hesitate to say there's anything quaint about watching Fight Club in 2023 (it's still bleak, grim and bloody), but it is an interesting rewatch more than 20 years on when so much has changed culturally around our understanding of masculinity and capitalism. You can watch Fight Club on Disney+.
- 19/49
Logan
Before Hugh Jackman revealed that, actually, his Wolverine would be back for Deadpool 3, he bid an emotional goodbye to the character in 2017's Logan. Far from the glossy world of superhero flicks (some of which his Wolverine had been in), this James Mangold film was a harsh and gritty look at a life shaped by trauma and pain. In an almost post-mutant world, Logan (née Wolverine) is living in relative peace until he has to escort a young mutant named Laura to a safe place. The film is a searing reckoning of the reality of having superpowers, especially ones given to you without your express permission. It was a perfect and poignant goodbye for Jackman's Wolverine at the time until, well… Deadpool 3 is unlikely to have as much emotion as this re-evaluation of the superhero movie, let's just say that. You can watch Logan on Disney+.
- 20/49
The Beatles: Get Back
If you’re a The Beatles nerd, this one’s for you. If you’re not a The Beatles nerd, then this one is also probably for you. Peter Jackson takes an exploratory plunge into the making of the group’s seminal Let It Be album for this 8-part series, using a mixture of unseen footage and clips from a 1970s documentary about the record. In essence, it’s like a documentary of a documentary. If there’s one thing that’s true in life, it’s that we’ll simply never stop finding ways to make things about The Beatles. And you won't hear us complaining… You can watch The Beatles: Get Back on Disney+.
- 21/49
Howard
There was some uproar earlier in the year when, as streamers started quietly deleting their own projects in a cost-cutting exercise, one of the pieces of collateral damage was Howard, a documentary about Howard Ashman, the lyricist behind some of Disney’s most iconic classic music from the likes of The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. Ashman sadly died of AIDS in 1991, and this film looks at his life and legacy and the tragedy of both being cut so short. Thankfully, Disney gave in to criticism and the documentary is now back on the service and well worth your time. You can watch Howard on Disney+.
- 22/49
Rye Lane
Romcoms are back, and Rye Lane is a must-see for any enthusiasts who somehow let it slip by. Based in South London’s Peckham, the film follows Dom and Yas, two people reeling from recent breakups who happen to find each other and embark on an eventful day of healing, justice and a slight smattering of revenge. Like New York is the fifth character of Sex and the City, a colour-popped South London is the anchor of this story, providing a sumptuous backdrop to this uniquely Black British perspective on love and heartbreak. Pure joy. You can watch Rye Lane on Disney+.
- 23/49
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Welcome to Sunnydale, where hell's inhabitants run amok and the only person able to stop them is a teenage girl armed with a stake and a cohort of undead-fighting friends. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a 90s classic, the kind of show that's happily nestled into the landscape of what we'd call ‘comfort shows’ despite, you know, all the vampire slaying and that. All seven seasons are available to watch: ideal company. You can watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Disney+.
- 24/49
Fleishman is in Trouble
Fleishman is in Trouble took a while to finally land on Disney+ despite airing in the US, but it's still well-worth your time. Jesse Eisenberg and Lizzy Caplan star in a miniseries about the eponymous Toby Fleishman, portrayed by the former, a man in his forties who discovers dating apps for the first time in the aftermath of his divorce. As this newly-anointed bachelor dives into the world of Manhattan's sexy singles scene, his ex-wife disappears, and he comes to reckon with why his marriage fell apart in the first place. You can watch Fleishman is in Trouble on Disney+.
- 25/49
Andor
The latest instalment in Disney+’s “Star Wars for adults” spin-off roster, following the likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, comes Andor, the prequel to prequel movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It centres on the eponymous hero of Rogue One, Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), and dropped in September to great reviews from critics, with many considering it the best Star Wars property since the final trilogy bowed with something of a damp squib. Some have even put it up there with the latest prestige fare. That’s largely because it’s a great spy thriller in and of itself, even without the franchise bells and whistles, and Luna makes for one hell of a TV lead. You can watch Andor on Disney+.

The Shape of Water
Guillermo del Toro, the ‘ol romantic, made a glorious ‘60s fairytale out of a classic monster movie riff with The Shape of Water, which bagged him both Best Director and Picture at the Oscars in 2018. More than just “the fish sex film,” as it was anointed by detractors and lazies alike, it follows Sally Hawkins’ mute Elisa, a cleaner at a top-secret government base which houses an aquatic humanoid similar to Creature from the Black Lagoon’s Gill-man. Despite everything — and everyone — that stands in their way, an incandescent love blooms between them, the veteran genre filmmaker crafting an outcast romance for the ages. Ah, love: impossible until it isn’t. You can watch The Shape of Water on Disney+.
- 27/49
Speed
A Keanu classic. Speed takes an ostensibly simple premise – if a bus drives slower than 50 miles per hour, a bomb will detonate – and runs the full gamut with it. With Sandra Bullock at the wheel and Reeves’ cop by her side, the pair take the load of passengers across Los Angeles, over an incomplete motorway, and in the middle of a face-off on an airport runway. It’s full-throttle action at its finest – vehicle chases don’t get better than this. You can watch Speed on Disney+.
- 28/49
Alien
From the gross-out arrival of the chestburster to the chilling reveal of the titular Xenomorph, Ridley Scott’s Alien is a certified classic in sci-fi horror. Relegated to the contained space of a commercial airship, a standard work trip goes awry when an extraterrestrial invades the spacecraft, picking off members of the crew one by one. The Nostromo becomes a claustrophobic hell, with only Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley there to save the day, defining a generation of action heroes in the process. You can watch Alien on Disney+.
- 29/49
Abbott Elementary
In true underdog style, Abbott Elementary became the surprise hit of the year and earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy, alongside streaming titans like Ted Lasso and Only Murder in the Building. À la The Office, a documentary crew observes the work of an optimistic educator, along with her exhausted colleagues at an underfunded Philadelphia elementary school. It’s a feel-good comedy grounded in reality, as it handles deft commentary on the US education system without ever losing its levity. You can watch Abbott Elementary on Disney+.
- 30/49
Summer Of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)
Questlove’s ode to the 1971 Harlem Cultural Festival has been making waves since its theatrical release earlier this summer, but it’s also available to watch from the comfort of your own home. Dubbed the “Black Woodstock” and largely forgotten until now, it includes performances from the likes of Nina Simone, Mahalia Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Sly And The Family Stone. Placed against the backdrop of the 1960s civil rights movement, it feels strangely prescient. You can watch Summer of Soul on Disney+.
- 31/49
The Royal Tenenbaums
Between Ben Stiller’s tracksuit, Gwyneth Paltrow’s panda eyes and the now well-established “Wes Anderson aesthetic”, it’s hard to underestimate the cultural impact of this 2001 film. It tells the story of the Tenenbaums – all incredibly gifted and incredibly unhappy – who are forced to reunite in their family home. Characteristically off-beat, it has a dazzling line-up, including Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, Danny Glover, Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston. Need we go on? You can watch The Royal Tenenbaums on Disney+.
- 32/49
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
A classic Western starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Katharine Ross, Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid is loosely based on true events and tells the story of two outlaws on the run. After a string of train robberies, and with a posse hot on their heels, Butch, Sundance and his girlfriend, Etta, decide to escape to Bolivia, naturally. You can watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on Disney+.
- 33/49
(500) Days Of Summer
Oh, for the days of Converse and floppy fringes. (500) Days Of Summer has become something of a cult classic since its release in 2009. It follows a fleeting romance between colleagues Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Summer (Zooey Deschanel), who listen to The Smiths and revel in their own quirkiness before eventually breaking up. It is warm, fuzzy and feel-good (sort of), so turn up the sad-boy indie and tune in. You can watch (500) Days Of Summer on Disney+.
- 34/49
Nomadland
You’ve no doubt heard of Chloé Zhao’s Oscar-winning film by now. It stars Frances McDormand as a modern-day nomad, who leaves her hometown following the Great Recession to join America’s van-dwelling ���precariat” class. Also featured are many actual nomads, playing fictionalised versions of themselves. As should be expected, McDormand is excellent (she won the Academy Award for Best Actress) while the film itself is a well-paced and genuinely beautiful exploration of an overlooked lifestyle. You can watch Nomadland on Disney+.
- 35/49
Avatar
James Cameron’s epic sci-fi fantasy became the biggest movie of all time when it first landed in cinemas in 2009, beloved not just for its groundbreaking special effects, but also for the powerful environmental message. The plot is a kind of neo-colonialist story based in 2051, where mankind has gone to Pandora – a lush planet populated by a species of tall, blue humanoids called the Na’vi – in pursuit of energy source unobtanium. Sam Worthington plays paraplegic Jake Sully, who takes on a Na’vi avatar in order to infiltrate the native community, alongside Sigourney Weaver as scientist Grace and Zoe Saldaña as his Na’vi love interest. You can watch Avatar on Disney+.
- 36/49
The Emperor’s New Groove
Arguably one of Disney’s most underrated animations ever, The Emperor’s New Groove is fun, heartwarming and features Eartha Kitt as the baddie, Yzma, in what must surely be one of the most brilliant voice-overs to ever have been featured in a cartoon. Emperor Kuzco (David Spade) thinks he has it all, until his power-hungry advisor, Yzma, turns him into a llama. Much hilarity ensues as Kuzco tries to make his way back to the palace with the help of kind-hearted peasant Pasha. You can watch The Emperor’s New Groove on Disney+.
- 37/49
Hercules
This animated 1997 take of the Greek myth of Hercules underperformed at the box office, but has since, quite rightfully, become one of Disney’s best-loved animations from the studio’s renaissance era. The story is both cleverly told and brilliantly voiced, packed with memorable songs and cute animation (baby Pegasus!). The five muses provide the narration as Hercules embarks on a journey to prove himself a true hero, after Hades meddles to have the son of Zeus turned into a mere mortal. Danny DeVito voices the hilariously grouchy Phil, Hercules’ satyr trainer, while James Woods is excellent as Hades. You can watch Hercules on Disney+.
- Touchstone/Abc/Kobal/Shutterstock38/49
Lost
Yes, it trailed off in between its third and sixth series, but taken as a whole, Lost – a drama about a group of plane crash survivors marooned on an apparently supernatural island – remains one of the most stunning pieces of TV since the turn of the century. Have we been as collectively confounded by a series since? Unlikely. You can watch Lost on Disney+.
- Suzanne Tenner39/49
WandaVision
This series – wherein Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlett Witch and Paul Bettany’s Vision are trapped in a fantasy world – starts relatively slowly, bogged down by the decision to lean too heavily into its retro sitcom pastiche, but by the end is reliably entertaining, if in part because it marks that start of something fully bonkers. Now, where is that pesky Wolverine at? You can watch WandaVision on Disney+.
- 40/49
The Mandalorian
Also known as The Baby Yoda Show. And it really is Baby Yoda’s show, with the little green sprog stealing every single moment he appears on screen. It’s a Western set in space, with a mysterious bounty hunter (played by Pedro Pascal, eternally shrouded by a mask) taking the wee one on a tour of the galaxy as they try to evade capture from all the people that want him dead. You can watch The Mandalorian on Disney+.

Avengers: Infinity War & Endgame
The culmination of a 20+ film saga that features dozens of superheroes and took in billions of dollars at the box office, these Avengers films are pretty much the apex of cinema in the 2010s, whether Martin Scorsese likes it or not. Infinity War sees our heroes come up against the big purple villain Thanos and lose, and Endgame sees them try to turn back time and make things right. It’s truly exhilarating, for six whole hours. You can watch The Avengers on Disney+.
- 42/49
The Simpsons
For the first time ever, the longest-running and most-beloved animated series animated series of all time is available to stream. Yes, it went downhill after series eight or so, and, yes, you’ve seen all of the good episodes dozens of times on linear TV. But now the power is in your hands to revisit classics such as the Cape Fear spoof, Marge vs The Monorail and the one with Bleeding Gums Murphy. Time to get stuck in. You can watch The Simpsons on Disney+.
- Moviestore/Shutterstock43/49
X-Men
Yes, Disney+’s superhero collection also includes the X-Men films, because Disney now owns absolutely everything (more specifically, 20th Century Fox). The original X-Men film is, of course, the best one, unless you're counting Logan. You can watch X-Men on Disney+.
- Moviestore/Shutterstock44/49
Home Alone 1 & 2
You know the drill here: Macaulay Culkin stars as a precocious eight-year-old who has to fend off some burglars (including Joe Pesci in round one) after his parents accidentally leave him at home by himself at Christmas. In the sequel, he winds up stuck in New York and has a run-in with none other than Donald Trump. They’re both good, but we’ll understand if you choose to forgo the sequel for obvious reasons… You can watch the Home Alone films on Disney+.

Toy Story 1–4
There is surely no greater quartet of films than Pixar’s Toy Story, which, even in the most recent and superfluous fourth edition, managed to hit audiences right in the feels. Revisit all of the ups and downs with Buzz, Woody and the gang in the first three and then introduce yourself to scene-stealing newcomers Ducky and Bunny, voiced by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. You can watch the Toy Story films on Disney+.
- Moviestore/Shutterstock46/49
Ratatouille
A rare film that has done wonders for the reputation of rats everywhere. It centres around cute little rodent Remy, who dreams of becoming a chef and gets his shot at the big time when he befriends a hopeless restaurant worker and begins to guide his hand from underneath his chef’s hat. You can watch Ratatouille on Disney+.
- Touchstone/Kobal/Shutterstock47/49
10 Things I Hate About You
Heath Ledger is excellent in 10 Things I Hate About You, a 1990s film that will go down in the pantheon of great teen romcoms. He plays bad boy Patrick, who is convinced to court Julia Stiles’ Kat by Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) so that he can date her sister. He’s initially not interested, but then he ends up singing Frankie Valli to her from the bleachers (an iconic “live musical performance that would never, ever happen in real life” moment). You can watch 10 Things I Hate About You on Disney+.
- Disney/Pixar/Moviestore/Shutterstock48/49
Coco
Whisper it: this might be the Pixar’s best and most moving film yet. Coco tells the story of a 12-year-old Mexican boy accidentally transported to the Land of the Dead, where he encounters his long-deceased ancestors, who band together to help him return to the land of the living. You can watch Coco on Disney+.

Star Wars: The Original Trilogy
Few people would argue that anything Star Wars has done in the past 20 years or so has truly lived up to the standard set by George Lucas and co in the 1970s and 1980s. So, thankfully, you can revisit the magic here on Disney+, with all three films from the original trilogy available to stream. You can watch Star Wars on Disney+.
