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 almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
