2. The Irishman

There really isn't much more to say about The Irishman that hasn't already been said. It's a Martin Scorsese flick, so anyone who considers themselves even a casual film fan should check it out, and if you love a good gangster story, then prepare to be given a masterclass.

It's not Scorsese's best effort - flicks like The Departed and Goodfellas are a bit sharper, and some of The Irishman's de-aging CGI can be distracting in places - but there really isn't anything major to complain about here.

The only problem is that you might not have three-and-a-half hours of spare time to watch it from start to end, but other than that... just watch it.

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!
