There are so many, it can sometimes be difficult to pick one.
If you’re like me and you spend half of your potential viewing time flicking through the different genres, watching the clock tick away, here are 10 top films (in my humble opinion) on the streaming platform that if you haven’t seen will kick off your year with a bang.
7. Happy Gilmore (12)
A fizzled hockey player takes his slap shot and violent impulses to the golf course in an attempt to win enough prizemoney to save his grandma's house. Adam Sandler is at his hilarious best as Happy Gilmore in this 1996 cult comedy. With superb supporting performances from Carl Weathers, Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen and even the late, great Richard Kiel (Jaws from James Bond), Happy Gilmore will have you in stitches. Definitely a must watch for golfers! Photo: Netflix
8. Red Dragon (15)
Former FBI agent Will Graham (Edward Norton) confronts an old nemesis, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), when he's tasked to hunt down a grisly serial killer known as the tooth fairy. Made in 2002, after The Silence of the Lambs but a prequel to that film, Red Dragon is a nerve-jangling classic and features a magnificently chilling performance from Ralph Fiennes as well as Norton and Hopkins in the lead roles.

9. Gangs of New York (18)
In the crime-ridden slums of New York in the 1860s, vengeful orphan Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) joins the cutthroat gang of his father's killer, Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day-Lewis). With those two heavyweights going head-to-head plus a magnificent supporting cast and an incredible backdrop, what could go wrong? Well, nothing! This 2002 2hr 46mins cracker is laced with incredible dialogue, stunning fight sequences and brilliant performances. Photo: Netflix
10. Taxi Driver (18)
Martin Scorsese's classic thriller stars Robert De Niro as New York cab driver Travis Bickle, whose rage, paranoia and obsession simmer into violence. De Niro is outstanding as the unhinged "you talking to me" Bickle - truly a classic and now approaching 50 years old (1976). Photo: Netflix
