Getting the whole family to agree on a film is rare, these are the ones that genuinely work for everyone in the room. Action with substance, films where the spectacle serves the story rather than replacing it. All from the 2020s, proving that great cinema is still being made right now. The conversation doesn't end when the credits roll, these live in your head long after.
