10.Gulliver’s Travels
Travel writer Lemuel Gulliver takes an assignment in Bermuda but ends up on the island of Lilliput, where he towers over its tiny citizens. One of those film that could be rather full on, the humour of this film might put off many people and I do understand that, for me personally it’s the chemistry between Jack Black and Amanda Peet that made this film good, in some ways this is entertaining with an all-star cast, if you wanted something different this is ideal for you.
9.Pokemon: Detective Pikachu
In a world where people collect Pokémon to do battle, a boy comes across an intelligent talking Pikachu who seeks to be a detective. Some people will like this and some don’t as this will divide people, the main lead is likeable and this is action packed, but it never loses the story itself and that is the key to this film, it is enjoyable and it got amazing CGI/SFX that look realistic as this is eye catching, it can be funny and the story is spot on, for me personally it is pure escapism.
8.Dark Shadows
An imprisoned vampire, Barnabas Collins, is set free and returns to his ancestral home, where his dysfunctional descendants are in need of his protection. It could be on the verve of weirdness and rather surreal, for me personally it needed it and it got an all-star cast, it try to be something different which I admire, this is like a period, horror, and comedy and for me personally it works perfectly, if you like those mixture of genres this film is ideal for you, this is superbly made.

As the great Klondike Gold Rush is attracting both ambitious treasure hunters and bold adventurers to the unforgiving territories of Canada’s late 1890s Yukon, Buck, a pampered St. Bernard – Scotch Collie dog, finds himself without a master in a frozen new world. My go to film and a comfort watching type of film, for me personally it always made me smile and I reckon many people will agree with me, it has got amazing scenery and this can be slightly hard hitting for the younger generation, this is a wonderful film as this is watchable.
1.Wendell & Wild
