Avatar
If you want to bring the family together in front of the box, a big blockbuster is always the way to go – and there’s no big movie
better than James Cameron’s extraordinary science-fiction epic. The world of Pandora is still jaw-dropping to see, even ten years after the release! It’s a lengthy one too, so ideal for Stephen’s Day viewing! Grab the turkey sambos and settle in for an adventure!

Love Simon
With the healthy mix of hilarity and heartache that we expect from a coming-of-age flick fully intact, this rom-com thoroughly ticks the usual boxes – but it sails far above the standard! Featuring a closeted teen at the centre of the story, and a host of prodigious performances from an excellent ensemble, it’s a fresh and fascinating twist on the tried-and tested; a genre film for a new generation!

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
The latest instalment of the dino-drama sees Chris Pratt in suitably heroic mode, as he battles to save prehistoric creatures from an erupting volcano – so when we say it’s explosive stuff, we’re really not kidding! Stuffed with spectacular set-pieces, this all-action affair is guaranteed to blow away any cobwebs after the festivities from the day before...

Blackkklansman
The premise of the movie – a black man joining the Ku Klux Klan – certainly sounds like fiction, but believe it or not, it’s actually based on memoirs of an undercover police detective from the 1970s. A rookie cop impulsively joins the KKK and with the help of a white colleague, does his best to expose the organisation’s plans. Spike Lee’s been creating exceptional movies for just over three decades now and this one is one of his best. What are you waiting for? Grab the popcorn and hit play!
Available to rent from December 24th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
Good Behaviour
It seems fitting that Good Behavior includes a plot about addiction – because once you check it out you’re guaranteed to come back for more! The thrilling drama is sultry and sexy, packed with sensational neon-lit visuals and Michelle Dockery is nothing short of fantastic in the lead role! If you know her from Downton Abbey, you’re in for one hell of a surprise here!

Marvel’s Runaways
It’s all well and good being the spawn of a superhero, but what would you do if your parents were the bad guys? This band of supercharged teenagers are just that, and to say they’re not following in their parents’ footsteps is an understatement – they’re literally running away! Based in the endlessly entertaining Marvel Cinematic Universe, this new television saga has cemented the Runaways as a young gang to rival even the Avengers for their wit, brains and brawn. Why not delve right in this Stephen’s Day?
Season 1 available from December 2nd on Virgin Box Sets.
