A sequel to the original 1988 movie, Coming 2 America sees Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) become the king of Zamunda after his father dies. However, with three daughters and no sons to succeed him, his life and the throne are in danger from his rival General Izzi (Wesley Snipes) - that is, until Akeem learns he has a son, Lavelle (Jermaine Fowler), living in New York from a long-ago one night stand. Lavelle and his mother are brought to Zamunda, and his preparation to become heir to the throne begins.

Disney's highly anticipated animated feature is premiering exclusively on Disney Plus Premier Access this weekend. Raya and the Last Dragon takes place 500 years after the dragons of the fantasy world of Kumandra sacrificed themselves to save humanity from an evil force, yet now that same evil has returned. Star Wars: The Last Jedi's Kelly Marie Tran voices Raya, who must find the legendary last dragon (voiced by Awkwafina) and save the world. Expect beautiful visuals and a tug on your heartstrings.
Moxie - Netflix
Available: Worldwide
Watch now: Netflix
Moxie is actor and comedian Amy Poehler's second time in the director's chair. The comedy drama follows Vivian (Hadley Robinson), a shy 16-year-old, who's fed up with the sexist and toxic status quo at her high school and decides to take inspiration from the rebellious past of her mother (Poehler). She anonymously publishes a zine that sparks a school-wide, coming-of-rage revolution. The Morning Show's Marcia Gay Harden and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Clark Gregg also star.
Reservoir Dogs - Amazon Prime
Available: US
Watch now: Amazon
Quentin Tarantino's debut movie Reservoir Dogs, released in 1992, stars Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi, and Tarantino himself as diamond thieves whose planned heist of a jewelry store goes terribly wrong, documenting the events before and after the heist. According to Tarantino, the movie was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 1956 film noir The Killing. The director's big screen debut has got all the hallmarks of a Tarantino joint - violence, a non-linear timeline, and plenty of pop culture references.
Inception - HBO Max
Available: US (HBO Max) and UK (Amazon Prime)
Watch now: HBO Max
Directed by Christopher Nolan, Inception stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating his victims' dreams. He's offered a chance to have his criminal history erased - in exchange for implanting another person's idea into a target's subconscious. The ensemble cast includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Elliot Page, Tom Hardy, and Michael Caine. The movie was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won four of them. Plus, it's not as confusing as people say it is. We promise.
Little Miss Sunshine - Amazon Prime
Available: UK
Watch now: Amazon
Little Miss Sunshine follows a dysfunctional family on a cross-country road trip to get their young, beauty pageant-obsessed daughter Olive (Abigail Breslin) to a competition in California. She's joined by her overworked mother (Toni Collette), her unemployed father (Greg Kinnear), her moody older brother (Paul Dano), her foul-mouthed grandfather (Alan Arkin), and her uncle (Steve Carrell), who's staying with them after surviving a suicide attempt. Needless to say, things don't go entirely to plan. This dark comedy gets the balance between quirkiness and sincerity just right.
