The must-owns this month... March 2020.

When adding to your DVD collection, the decision has never been more important now thanks to streaming services at a touch of a button.
 
So, each month, we look at what movies deserve a space on your home-cinema shrine… (commonly known as a DVD shelf).
 
Here’s five films that we think have potential to be bought in a shop near you…
DOCTOR SLEEP
Director: Mike Flanagan
Writers: Stephen King (based on the novel by), Mike Flanagan (screenplay)
Stars: Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, Kyliegh Curran
 
Plot:
Years following the events of "The Shining," a now-adult Dan Torrance must protect a young girl with similar powers from a cult known as The True Knot, who prey on children with powers to remain immortal.
 
Our verdict:
A decent follow up to the cult movie, The Shining. If you own its predecessor, then you need to buy this.
LAST CHRISTMAS
Director: Paul Feig
Writers: George Michael (inspired by: the song "Last Christmas", written and composed by), Emma Thompson (story by)
Stars: Emilia Clarke, Emma Thompson, Henry Golding
 
Plot:
Kate is a young woman subscribed to bad decisions. Working as an elf in a year-round Christmas store is not good for the wannabe singer. However, she meets Tom there. Her life takes a new turn. For Kate, it seems too good to be true.
 
Our verdict:
It’s a weird time to buy a Christmas movie, but you can just prepare early! It’s definitely worth having for the festive times.
FORD VS. FERRARI
Director: James Mangold
Writers: Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth
Stars: Matt Damon, Christian Bale, Jon Bernthal
 
Plot:
American car designer Carroll Shelby and driver Ken Miles battle corporate interference and the laws of physics to build a revolutionary race car for Ford in order to defeat Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966.
 
Our verdict:
An Oscar-nominated movie, with cracking action pieces and brilliant editing – a certain DVD shelf filler.
FROZEN 2
Directors: Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee
Writers: Jennifer Lee (screenplay by), Jennifer Lee (story by)
Stars: Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad
 
Plot:
Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven leave Arendelle to travel to an ancient, autumn-bound forest of an enchanted land. They set out to find the origin of Elsa's powers in order to save their kingdom.
 
Our verdict:
Similarly, to Doctor Sleep, if you have the first movie, you really need to own the second. To be fair, it does help that this is great too.
KNIVES OUT
Director: Rian Johnson
Writer: Rian Johnson
Stars: Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas
 
Plot:
A detective investigates the death of a patriarch of an eccentric, combative family.
 
Our verdict:
What a movie to end with, this is a must own. It has everything going for it and deserves a seat on the collection shelf.
