With catchy tunes and with a colourful world that is so intriguing, my personal favourite is Pure Imagination and Gene Wilder really capture his role as he is magnificent, this is suitable for a family viewing and it really capture your imagination.

5.Hugo

In 1931 Paris, an orphan living in the walls of a train station gets wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton. I’m not normally a massive fan of Martin Scorsese but this film is actually really good, this is just a really nice film and it is uplifting and it will put a smile on your face, it also got a cast and it is definitely a watchable film.

4.My Octopus Teacher

A filmmaker forges an unusual friendship with an octopus living in a South African kelp forest, learning as the animal shares the mysteries of her world.

Visually it is fantastic to watch and overall this will wowed you with a poignancy ending, it also life affirming as it is about finding yourself and your purpose to this world, I’m sure people will connect to this message and the vocal talent is certainly spot on.

2.Gravity

Dr Ryan Stone and Matt Kowalski work together to survive after an accident leaves them stranded in space. One of the best action film which is utterly compelling and it is definitely entertaining from the start, Sandra Bullock and George Clooney got really good chemistry together and that is the key to this film, it is believable and so realistic and it might be rather short, it is the ultimate action film.

1.WALL.E

In the distant future, a small waste – collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind. Definitely the best PIXAR film as this is just cute, funny, and charming film, it will moved you and it is generally sincere and it got characters that you actually cared about, the animation itself look stunning and it is suitable for all ages and a family viewing.
