From Netflix and Amazon Prime Video to Sky Cinema and MUBI, let alone day-and-date, premium VOD and home entertainment releases, there are a lot of films out there to choose between. (See our streaming recommendations for what to watch right now.)

Whether you’re looking for trending films to buy and rent or the most popular movies on streaming platforms in the UK, here’s our guide to the best new films to stream this weekend (receive this as a newsletter each weekend here):

1. Avatar: Fire and Ash

James Cameron’s uneven second sequel has lost none of the sci-fi epic’s visual spectacle and bombastic action.

2. Wuthering Heights

Vulnerable tuns from Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi ground Emerald Fennell’s knowingly over-the-top interpretation of Emily Bronte’s iconic novel.

3. Crime 101

The Imposter and American Animals director Bart Layton is three for three with this gripping, star-studded crime thriller.

4. Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Cillian Murphy and Barry Keoghan are a thrilling double-act in this welcome return for Tommy Shelby.

5. Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere

This probing and timely documentary digs into the disturbing world of misogyny that’s growing online – and if it falls short of answering every single question it raises, that’s partly the point.
