In addition to the titles mentioned above, there’s the Marlon Wayans comedy Sextuplets, cop drama Victim Number 8, medical doco Diagnosis and the Netflix Original anime Cannon Busters.

There’s also a stack of great movies joining the service – including Christopher Nolan’s best film The Prestige (fight me, Batman fans), Dazed and Confused, the bat-shit crazy Mother!, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and a pair of old-school Hitchcock classics. (And that’s just a handful – there are more than 30 titles to check out below!)
