5. The Personal History Of David Copperfield
Directed by comedy icon Armando Iannucci, this heartfelt and charming adaptation of Great Expectations author Charles Dickens' most personal novel manages to turn the doorstopper of a novel into a funny, poignant piece of episodic period cinema.
Filled with winning turns throughout its ensemble supporting cast, from an uncharacteristically sparky Tilda Swinton to an uncharacteristically villainous Ben Whishaw, this flick excels by leaning into the cliches of British period dramas whilst subtly adding a comic twist to proceedings in the process.
Gorgeously realized and effortlessly moving, this is one for fans of underrated star Dev Patel, Dickens, period dramas, witty satires...
Honestly, it's for anyone who loves a good film.
