Netflix<\/a>, BBC iPlayer and more have added a host of great movies over the past seven days \u2013 and we’re here to give you the lowdown on the ones that are worth your time, from a “perfect” crime thriller starring Tim Roth to a brilliant recent romantic drama.<\/p>\n

Here, Digital Spy has rounded up five of the best, alongside more gems to look out for.<\/p>\n

Best movie new to Netflix this week<\/p>\n

The Grand Budapest Hotel: If you’re a fan of zany Wes Anderson flicks with impressive casts (that would be most of them, to be fair), then you can’t go better than this 2014 movie.<\/p>\n

Led by Ralph Fiennes, The Grand Budapest Hotel follows eccentric hotel concierge Gustave H, who is framed for murder and goes on an adventure with his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 for fortune and a Renaissance painting, all while the shadow of fascism grows in the fictional European country of Zubrowka.<\/p>\n

Sitting at a near-perfect 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, Loud and Clear Reviews<\/a> praised the movie’s “bold visuals and dynamic storytelling”. Saoirse Ronan, Tony Revolori, Tilda Swinton and Adrien Brody also star.<\/p>\n

Also new to Netflix this week: State of Fear, BlacKkKlansman, The Royal Tenenbaums<\/p>\n

Pulp Fiction: Considered one of the best movies of the ’90s and of all time, Pulp Fiction tells four interwoven tales across Los Angeles and boasts many iconic cinema moments \u2013 who can forget that brilliant diner dance between John Travolta and Uma Thurman?<\/p>\n

The Quentin Tarantino directed and written movie was called a “startling work of both homage and originality that has not been matched since” by FandomWire<\/a>, and an “exhilarating ride” by ScreenRant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

John Travolta co-stars in a career-redefining role alongside Samuel L Jackson, Harvey Keitel, Bruce Willis, Amanda Plummer and Christopher Walken.<\/p>\n

Best movie new to BBC iPlayer this week<\/p>\n

Past Lives: Greta Lee and Teo Yoo lead this excellent romantic drama from director and writer Celine Song, which was released in 2023 to widespread acclaim.<\/p>\n

The story follows two childhood friends who lose touch when one, Nora Moon, moves from South Korea to Canada, before the two reconnect online years later. In the present day, the other, Hae Sung, visits New York to see Nora as they confront life choices, destiny and love.<\/p>\n

Past Lives earned a near-perfect 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, Region Free<\/a> calling it “a film that leaves you breathless, and your heart aching, but in a good way”.<\/p>\n

Starring Tim Roth alongside Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi, Chris Penn, Michael Madsen and Lawrence Tierney, Reservoir Dogs follows a group of thieves whose diamond heist turns into an ambush when one of them turns out to be a police informant.
