Starring Domhnall Gleeson and the beautiful Rachael McAdams, this Richard Curtis directorial introduces us to Tim, an unlucky guy in love, who after discovering that he can time travel, strives to get the girl of his dreams. About Time is a stark reminder that time is powerful, and the best he can do is just let things happen to him in their due course.
The Shawshank Redemption
Another mind-blowing film that deserves a special mention in the list is the Frank Darabont film Shawshank Redemption.

The Fundamentals of Caring

But an impromptu road trip makes them realise the importance of hope and affection in life.
Enola Holmes
If you are up for some adventure with a blend of mystery and a dash of feminism, then Enola Holmes might be just the perfect watch for you. Millie Bobby Brown has bowled us over with her exemplary acting chops in this mystery-crime flick. The fact that Henry Cavill is in the film makes it even more interesting.
