GET OUT
Arguably the most popular horror film of the year with the perfect balance of dark comedy, drama and straight terror, Get Out follows the relationship of Chris, a young African-American man and his white girlfriend.
Upon visiting her family's estate, Chris becomes ensnared in the more sinister, real reason for the invitation. At first, he reads the family's overly accommodating behaviour as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.

KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD
Sometimes, there's nothing better than a fresh twist on a classic story, which is certainly the case in this modern instalment of the tale of King Arthur. It helps when the film is packed full of brilliant actors (think: Jude Law, Eric Bana and Djimon Hounsou).
Robbed of his birthright, Arthur comes up the hard way in the back alleys of the city. Once he pulls the sword from the stone, he must acknowledge his true legacy - which comes with a barrel of new responsibilties and obstacles.

A DOG'S PURPOSE
For something a little lighter that you can share with your little ones, too, it's hard to look past this heartwarming film. It follows the life of one devoted dog who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love.
Told from the dog's perspective, this family film is not only the emotional and hilarious story of a dog's life, but also a dog's-eye commentary on human relationships and the unbreakable bond between man and man's best friend.
