A British drama that made waves at Cannes 2023, the surprise winner of the Un Certain Regard Prize was this provocative debut from director Molly Manning Walker. A sunny Greek holiday for three bored girls in How to Have Sex is an exploration of consent, peer pressure, and coming-of-age in the wake of #MeToo. Honest, real, and never preachy — just deeply human. The bold teen genre has recently seen a wave of releases, and this has a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score.

3. Do the Right Thing (1989)

Spike Lee’s classic remains as potent today as it was in 1989. In Do The Right Thing, Brooklyn-based racial tensions are also depicted, where Mookie (played by Lee) is a pizza delivery guy on a sweltering Brooklyn summer day who becomes embroiled in the drama. Full of vibrant colour and urgent politics, the film was nominated for two Oscars and is now part of the National Film Registry. A film with a 92% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes that is just as poignant today, almost four decades later, and Netflix is stirring the pot by bringing it back.

4. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)

Released in 2024, the Aardman Animations claymation short returns with the less serious Feathers McGraw for another round of mayhem and more Brit whimsy.

Family and longtime Jeff Goldblum fans rejoice, as with a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, it is available now on Netflix.

5. Shiva Baby (2020)

If you dig the awkward comedy and your anxiety is through the roof, this one might just be your new favourite. Directed by indie filmmaker Emma Seligman, this focuses on teenage Danielle, a college student who runs into her sugar daddy when she's attending a Jewish funeral. Shot in one place as tightly as high school spring play death scenes, the film is a study of frantic, bone-crushing dark humour. A must-see if you love pithy writing and mortifying social situations, and one of the highly touted films of 2020.
