Mad Max Fury Road: Simply out of this world bananas action, on paper the 2015 Mad Max reboot shouldn’t have worked though blew everyone out of the water. Or should that be desert?

Black Panther: One of the few superhero films we saw on its opening weekend, Black Panther was a game changer and is perhaps more relevant right now than it was during its 2018 release. You know the story – we get the privilege of watching African king T’Challa become his evil-bashing alter ego and then witness him go on to save the world a la every Marvel film ever. Are we going to see it again? Wakanda forever! Rotten Tomatoes gives it 97%

Spider-Man Homecoming: From what we’re told, Tom Holland is the best actor to have donned the famous red and blue suit, and our Spidey-senses predict he’ll be in it for some time.

In Homecoming Spidey has to thwart an arms dealer and ask his crush to the high school dance. All in a day’s work. Rotten Tomatoes gives it 92%
