Looking for something to watch tonight? Netflix has a huge library of films, but we’re here to help. Here are 24 underrated films available to stream now…

There’s a lot of streaming services out there and their libraries have seemingly an unending amount of films, which means that a lot of gems get buried under bigger, better known films. It’s become a little scary trying to find something to watch, especially if you’re already familiar with the blockbuster-y films on the front page.

We’ve taken a deep five into the depths of Netflix and dug out lots of films you may not have come across, or even if you have, deserve another watch.

Here are 24 underappreciated films on Netflix UK that are well worth your time, in our humble view.

Ben Hardy’s single dad Luke falls for a drag queen Aysha...

For a film named “Unicorns,” color is noticeably absent at first. Luke (Ben Hardy) lives in a world of gray, where cloudy skies and towering blocks of concrete threaten to crush him completely. So too does the responsibility of raising a five-year-old son alone after his ex ran out. Not even a casual hook-up in a grubby field behind his Essex council estate frees him of that cramped, confined feeling, especially when the woman he’s just shagged cooly blows him off.

That all changes when Luke takes a wrong turn in an Indian restaurant one day and ends up in a Gaysian club night. Upon pushing that door open, strobe lights flood his monochromatic existence with neon colors that pulsate and glitter on stage where Aysha (Jason Patel) is performing. It’s almost like that unforgettable moment in “The Wizard of Oz” when Dorothy’s world transforms to color,...

When Luke (Ben Hardy), a mechanic and single father, stumbles into an Asian nightclub after an encounter with a woman who only sees him as a one-night stand, he meets the beautiful Aysha, a performer in the club. Luke is mesmerized; Aysha (Jason Patel) seems to wink at him. The next thing we know, they’re outside kissing – their connection electric and palpable. What Luke doesn’t initially realize is that he’s looking at Ashiq’s queer drag queen persona. The confusion when he does leads him to run away.

But Aysha doesn’t let Luke off so easily. Having lost her driver as a result of the kiss with Luke, she can’t get to gigs. So she tracks Luke down where he works, and makes him a deal: he drives her to gigs, and Aysha gives him a cut of her earnings. Luke remains reluctant. He still...

Exclusive: Cohen Media Group has acquired all North American distribution rights to Unicorns, the cross-cultural romance that debuted at Toronto 2023 and went on to play at London, Palm Springs, Sydney and other festivals.

The film stars Ben Hardy as Luke, a single father from Essex, England, who works as an auto mechanic and is forced to rethink his sexual identity when he unexpectedly falls in love with Aysha, a British Indian drag queen living a double life, played by Jason Patel.

The film is co-directed by BAFTA-nominated El Hosaini — who made waves at Toronto with Netflix pic The Swimmers — and BIFA-winning filmmaker-actor Krishna Floyd from the latter’s script.

Pic was produced by Trudie Styler and Celine Rattray of Maven Screen Media, Bill Pohlad, Kim Roth and Christa Workman of River Road Entertainment, and Phil Herd of Chromatic Aberration.

For me the year of 2024 was a challenging one. Between being in hospital or housebound at home, I could not attend any press shows or even visit my local cinemas. However, I have tried to catch up with some of the more important films of the year. I have missed many I would like to have seen, but time marches on and I have made the best of a bad situation. If it was a tough year for me, it also seems to have brought many films dealing with various difficulties to our cinema screens.

Take, for instance, Edward Berger’s Conclave. What could be more challenging than the selection of a new Pope? Ralph Fiennes in this role is torn between tradition and scandals concerning the possible candidates. Then there was Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez, where a Mexican cartel leader is forced to disappear...

Survivor 47 bid goodbye to Rome Cooney during the latest episode. He chaotically played the game, and it finally caught up to him during the Merge.

Had Rome remained subdued when the tribes gathered on the same beach, he might have survived a bit longer. But he immediately started spreading rumors.

A deleted scene also revealed Rome opted out of the Merge Advantage. He decided to conserve energy instead of looking for the buoy.

The edit of his final episode also made it look like Rome would flip things. He was so confident that Sol Yi was going home that he moved his vote to Sam Phalen.

On Day 12, Rome was voted out and sent to Ponderosa. The players don’t actually get sent home during the season, as they hang out at Ponderosa until filming is completed.

Upon getting to Ponderosa, Rome claims he found a “salty” reception from a fellow castaway.

The following contains spoilers from Wednesday’s episode of Survivor 47.

Former Gata member Sam said it all: “They say Rome wasn’t built in a day, but your game sure was destroyed in one.” How… apropos.

“Survivor 47” fans, it’s time to meet Aysha Welch, a 32-year-old It consultant from Houston, Texas. “If we sit next to each other on a plane, I will talk your ear off,” she states in CBS’s preview video. “I literally have at least six or seven contacts in my phone of so-and-so’s name — airplane.” Watch Aysha’s intro above at the 6:14 mark.

The bubbly castaway notes, “I always thought, I’m gonna be married by 23, I’m gonna have kids by 25. And I am 32 and single. What that has prepared me for is to be adaptable. I don’t know what Jeff is gonna throw at us. All I know is that I have the ability to create strong relationships. And that’s what’s gonna carry me through the game.”

Speaking about her island strategy, Aysha reveals, “If I see somebody that seems unapproachable, they seem impossible to work with,...

We are just days away from the premiere of Survivor, and we are finally starting to get some sneak peeks as to what the supersized premiere of season 47 will entail.

As of September 10, photos from the marooning challenge have been shared by CBS. While the challenge looks like it will consist of heavy chests, tiny rowboats, and more, the most telling information to come from said photos is the tribe divisions, revealing that Survivor 47 will begin with a three-tribe format.

This was not a surprise to fans of the franchise, as Survivor has been utilizing a three-tribe format ever since it's "New Era" began in 2021.

Nonetheless, although the Season 47 cast has been known for quite some time, longtime Survivor writer and reporter Mike Bloom used the photos to sleuth out which castaways will be in which tribes:

I've talked about this in multiple places, but just to formally have it...

“Unicorns” explores a world not seen much in feature films — the world of “gaysians,” the South Asian gay community in the U.K. The film, directed by Sally El Hosaini (“The Swimmers”) and James Krishna Floyd and written by Floyd, follows Aysha/Ashiq (charismatic newcomer Jason Patel) a queer, Muslim, South Asian drag queen living a double life who sparks a friendship then romance with white, straight mechanic and single father Luke. The film bowed to rave reviews at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival. Protagonist Pictures is handling international sales at AFM.

“Unicorns” is El Hosaini and Floyd’s third collaboration.

“I think mainstream society is very good at lumping very reductive identity labels on all of us. Obviously, in terms of sexuality, but I think in terms of everything in terms of race and gender and I’ve always felt that these things are very gray and very fluid.

Exclusive: Following the TIFF world premiere of Unicorns, the buzzy cross-cultural romance marking his feature acting debut, British actor and singer Jason Patel has taken on new reps at Gersh and Untitled Entertainment.

World premiering up north just a few weeks ago, the film from Sally El-Hosaini and James Krishna Floyd has him starring as Aysha, a British Indian drag queen living a double life, with Ben Hardy (Love at First Sight) as Luke, a single father from Essex who works as a mechanic. When their paths collide, an emotional search for identity is sparked.

Pic debuted to almost universally positive reviews and landed Patel on several Best Performance lists out of the festival. CAA is handling sales.

In addition to his acting career, Patel is an emerging musical artist whose work spans pop and R&b. His latest single, “Choclafied,” was released worldwide in August, and will be followed...

At the heart of James Krishna Floyd and Sally El Hosaini's 2023 queer romantic drama Unicorns is the scintillating chemistry between co-stars Ben Hardy and newcomer Jason Patel. The pair play two could-be lovers who first have to overcome the boundaries between their two worlds. Hardy plays a single father and a mechanic whose unexpected night with Patel's South Asian nightclub drag queen Aysha/Ashiq sparks a surprisingly deep connection that could lead to something more. It's a premise that requires a strong connection between its leads to pull off which both stars attested to.

As Ben Hardy touched down in Toronto for TIFF for the premiere of his film “Unicorns” on Friday, the UK-born actor hit up a red carpet interview with Et Canada’s Dallas Dixon to discuss his support from the LGBTQ+ community and how he achieved a sizable derrière.

Directed by Sally El Hosani and James Krishna Floyd, “Unicorns” sees Hardy playing Luke, a single father whose sex life is marred with transactional hookups, until he meets a woman named Aysha, played by Jason Petal, in an underground club.

“I’ve always had a big old rump on me.”

As the two worlds collide, Luke discovers that Aysha is not a cis woman but a femme drag queen. As the film progresses, Luke and Aysha begin to transcend their ideas of identity and relationships.

On the topic of his vast fandom in the LGBTQ+ community,...

On the way home after a party-ending brawl, Aysha (Jason Patel) explains to Luke (Ben Hardy) the torrid love triangle that precipitated the fight in the first place. It sounds complicated, Luke remarks, but Aysha counters that it’s actually pretty simple: “Everybody just wants what they can’t have.”

Despite her breezy delivery, the statement seems to hang in the air between them. Because by this point, both Luke and Aysha already know on some level what they want. They just have to allow themselves to have it. Unicorns traces their twin journeys toward self-acceptance with empathy, curiosity and a refreshing disregard for constricting labels.

What stands between the central pair is not a lack of desire, but a clash of identities. Luke is a straight white single dad from Essex who scrapes together a modest living as a mechanic; Aysha is a professional drag queen from Manchester hiding...

Welsh-Egyptian director Sally El Hosaini had the opening night film at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival with “The Swimmers,” a Netflix drama about two would-be Olympic swimmers fleeing Syria for a chance to compete in Europe. She’s back at the festival a year later with “Unicorns,” codirected with James Krishna Floyd. It’s a quieter, less rousing drama that in some ways couldn’t be further from “The Swimmers,” but in other ways shares that earlier film’s determination to find moments of happiness and celebration in the midst of struggle.

“Unicorns” is a work designed to bring empathy for its two lead characters, a scruffy auto mechanic trying to raise a young son by himself and a British-Asian drag queen looking for moments of release in a life of hardship. At times it finds El Hosaini holding beats for too long, as she also did in “The Swimmers,...

More than half a century after Jimi Hendrix moved to England to form rock’s preeminent transatlantic power trio with a couple of Brits, bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. Now Billboard reports that a Manhattan federal judge decided Tuesday that England will also be the starting place for a lawsuit that Hendrix’s estate (Experience Hendrix, LLC) and Sony Music filed against Redding’s and Mitchell’s estates last year. The whole idea behind the lawsuit was to stop Redding’s and Mitchell’s heirs from seeking to...
