Following the recent death of Sir Patrick Stewart, there’s added poignancy in revisiting one of his defining big-screen roles as Professor Charles Xavier in X2. The first X-Men had to set out the stall for a franchise; this superior sequel pays that groundwork back in spades, with breathtaking action from its opening assault on the White House onwards.
A groundbreaking animated superhero adventure, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse follows teenager Miles Morales as he discovers his powers and teams up with Spider-People from parallel universes to save the world. Featuring the voices of Shameik Moore, Jake Johnson and Hailee Steinfeld, it's widely praised for its innovative animation style and heartfelt storytelling.
Mission: Impossible is a thrilling extravaganza of jaw-dropping special effects and amazing stunts. Based on the cult 1960s TV series about a covert strike force designing situations villains believe to be real, it's best to forget the complicated plot - something about Tom Cruise clearing his name and proving to the CIA he's not a treacherous mole - and simply enjoy the epic rollercoaster ride.
Two decades after leaving Runway magazine, Andy Sachs finds herself reunited with Miranda Priestly in recent release The Devil Wears Prada 2, as the fashion world grapples with a rapidly changing media landscape. Directed by David Frankel, the comedy drama sequel reunites Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci.
Director Wes Anderson's stop-animation movie Isle of Dogs is sure to get your family's tails wagging. It’s brilliantly weird, which you’d probably expect from a film set in a dystopian future where dogs – voiced by the likes of Tilda Swinton and Jeff Goldblum – have been quarantined on a remote island, but it’s endearingly barking mad.
The entire Fast and the Furious series recently swerved onto the service, and if you're only gonna watch one, make it the fifth entry, 2011's Fast Five, which set the template for the increasingly epic gear-head movies to come. Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson work to out-macho one another as Dom Torretto assembles his crew for a huge bank heist, only to be tailed by the law.
Of course, Disney+ hosts Marvel Studios' cinematic offerings, including The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Avengers: Endgame. As well as Marvel, the platform is also known as the wider home of franchise fare, with others featured including Star Wars, Alien, Muppet Treasure Island, Planet of the Apes and more.
However, the platform also offers whole range of other, one-off titles, including Caught Stealing director Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan, and recent awards successes such as A Real Pain, Poor Things, All of Us Strangers and A Complete Unknown. That's not even mentioning other options such as horror films including Alien, fantasy adventure The Princess Bride and moving drama Empire of Light.
There is truly something for every film fan on Disney+ – and the Radio Times team have broken down the top picks on the streamer in this list.
