10 Great Movies You Probably Missed (That You Can Now Catch On Netflix)

3. Steve Jobs

The best Steve Jobs movie we've ever had (sorry Ashton Kutcher), the criminally overlooked Steve Jobs is spilt into three parts that span 14 years (1984–1998) of the tech innovator's busy life, with each section taking place just before the launch of an important product.

Steve Jobs failed to turn a profit at the box-office, which is incredible when you consider its show of talent: it was directed by Oscar-winner Danny Boyle, scripted by The Social Network's Aaron Sorkin, and stars Michael Fassbender in the lead role, with Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen and Jeff Bridges supporting.

This poor performance wasn't the film's fault, though. The movie had a lot of competition, and since it was the second Steve Jobs movie in as many years, the public was possibly fed up of seeing the man's face plastered everywhere. But, regardless of your opinion of Jobs or his company, this is still a movie that demands to be seen.

Sorkin's signature sharp-tongued dialogue is present and correct, and Boyle's smooth, stylish direction helps keep the inherent similarities of the three sections (each is just before a product launch) feel exciting each time.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
