This year's Oscar-winning movie A Real Pain is one of the latest additions to Disney Plus, meaning subscribers can now watch it just months after it debuted in UK cinemas.

It's not the only awards fare currently available on the platform - favourites such as Poor Things, The Martian and All of Us Strangers are also available, alongside all the franchise films Disney is known for.

When it comes to franchises, Disney Plus features the likes of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Alien and The Planet of the Apes - as well as almost all entries into the MCU thus far.

Meanwhile, the streamer is also home to plenty of other Marvel movies, including many from the Fox era of X-Men, the Fantastic 4 and more.

That's not even mentioning other options such as horror films including Ready or Not and The First Omen, sci-fi epic The Creator, Poirot mystery A Haunting in Venice, and whip-smart romcom Rye Lane, or the mountain of Disney animated films and live-action remakes which are on the platform.

There is something for every movie fan on Disney Plus – and the RadioTimes.com team have broken down the top picks on the platform in this list.
