Kung Fu Panda
Chosen by prophecy but doubted by all, Po is an unlikely choice for the mystical title of the Dragon Warrior—a clumsy panda thrust into the world of kung fu as a deadly enemy threatens the Valley of Peace. Under reluctant guidance by Master Shifu and the Furious Five, Po must embrace who he is to unlock the power that no scroll can teach.
Hot Fuzz
Former London constable Nicholas Angel finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.
The World's End
Five friends who reunite in an attempt to top their epic pub crawl from 20 years earlier unwittingly become humankind's only hope for survival.
Machete
After being set-up and betrayed by the man who hired him to assassinate a Texas Senator, an ex-Federale launches a brutal rampage of revenge against his former boss.
What to know before choosing
A film that works with friends is not necessarily a good film, and that is fine: it is a film that tolerates being talked over. It needs a plain rhythm, little subtext to miss and no scene you would regret missing. This list therefore sorts on popularity — shared recognition does more for the evening here than pure quality.
Peacock is the Universal library with a streaming service attached, and that shapes everything: horror, comedy and the studio-era back catalog are unusually deep, while anything outside Universal is thin. It also keeps a genuinely free ad-supported tier, which no other major service here does — so a Peacock list answers a slightly different question from the others, namely what is worth watching for nothing at all.
