Later this month, Darren Aronofsky is releasing his latest film in the shape of crime thriller Caught Stealing – and if you want to prepare by revisiting arguably his best film, then Disney Plus has you covered.
Although the streaming service might be more commonly associated with major franchises such as Star Wars, Marvel and the countless Disney and Pixar animations, it also houses a range of more adult-orientated films, and Aronofsky's Black Swan is one of the best of the bunch.
Meanwhile, with TV series Alien: Earth now streaming on the platform, you may well be looking to rewatch all the previous instalments, and luckily, all seven movies – from Ridley Scott's 1979 original to last year's Alien: Romulus – are also among the films currently streaming.
Elsewhere, fans excited for Lindsay Lohan's return to the big screen in Freakier Friday can find several classics from her early career, including The Parent Trap and Mean Girls, while there's also plenty of recent awards fare including 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 Ready or Not and The First Omen, sci-fi epic The Creator, Poirot mystery A Haunting in Venice, and whip-smart romcom Rye Lane.
There is truly 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.
