Get the tissues ready for this ‘90s tearjerker starring Robin Williams, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

11. Julie & Julia
This sweet film will leave you uplifted - and hungry! Perfect for a rainy November day when everything feels a little bit blue… Based on the book of the same name, Julie and Julia tells two stories simultaneously; that of Julia Childs as she learned to cook in Paris, and of blogger Julie Powell, as she turns to a cooking project to change her life. Charming and encouraging, the film has its sad moments, but is overall a great light film for anyone to enjoy.
Arriving: Nov 1
10. Sixteen Candles
Another absolute classic, Sixteen Candles was one of those films of the '80s that changed the teen movie game. The film stars Molly Ringwald as Samantha, a teen whose sweet sixteen birthday is forgotten by her family. As the day continues, we get a glimpse into the lives (and hopes and embarrassments) of multiple teens in Samantha’s life in a bittersweet and heartfelt offering from John Hughes.

9. The Other Side Of The Wind
The Other Side Of The Wind has been a long time coming - a previously unfinished mockumentary by Orson Welles, originally shot in the ‘70s.

Possibly one of the most talked-about new Netflix Original series, She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power is a reboot of the original animated series from the ‘80s.

Arriving: Nov 23
2. A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding
Last year, A Christmas Prince became a surprise holiday hit for Netflix, despite a thin rom-com plotline and plenty of people having fun picking holes in everything from the story to the sets. However, everyone loved the film for its cheesy Christmas spirit, so Netflix is releasing a sequel this month, as Amber and Prince Richard gear up to get married. Expect more ridiculously sweet holiday goodness from this one.
Arriving: Nov 30
1. F Is For Family (Season 3)
