Justin Lin’s third reboot film strands the crew on a rock and lets them bicker, which is the best use anyone has made of this cast. The villain is a blank and the action is cut too close, but the company is good.

It was the flop that nearly sank a studio, the film George Lucas would rather you forgot, the punchline of a thousand jokes about the eighties. It is also a strange, funny, entirely sincere piece of work that has outlived every film that beat it that summer. The first in an occasional series about films the notices got wrong.

Ten films in thirty years, every one of them talking. A guide to where to start, where to linger, and which one to leave for a wet afternoon you don't mind losing.

The shelf is enormous and most of it is not worth your evening. Here is what is, drawn from our reviews of what the service is showing this month. Catalogues differ by country; every title's page shows yours.

Twenty-seven years after a mob boss first sat down in a psychiatrist's waiting room, nothing on television has caught it. A guide for those who never got round to it, and for those who did and want to go back.
