Guardian staff and writers dig out films and shows now streaming in Australia that you might not have seen – but absolutely should

  • Group of well-dressed young women

    The Bling Ring: Sofia Coppola’s prescient film of envy and excess

    With a paparazzi flash and a Valencia-hued glare, it peeks into the world of the super rich, super privileged, super ugly. Call it the original brat summer
  • Julie Andrews as Victor in Victor/Victoria.

    Victor/Victoria: Julie Andrews is outstanding as a woman dressed as a man dressed as a woman

    The 1982 film is still in dialogue with contemporary culture – a complex tale without the language yet to articulate its ideas about gender and sexuality

    The Transporter: Jason Statham’s first star vehicle with the oiliest fight sequence set to screen

    The 2002 film produced by Luc Besson’s company gave Statham his debut franchise – and it’s altogether weirder than its genre trappings might imply
  • James Stewart in the 1950 film Harvey

    James Stewart is sublimely strange and sweet in Harvey as a drunkard with an invisible rabbit friend

    Harvey is the pièce de résistance of films featuring massive human-like bunnies (admittedly, a small genre)
  • Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany in 2004 romcom Wimbledon.

    Love all! Wimbledon, the delightfully predictable tennis romcom at 20

    Starring Paul Bettany, Kirsten Dunst and two Sugababes songs, Wimbledon shows the potential for love to transform a middling underdog into a champion
  • Iko Uwais as Rama in The Raid

    ‘A stone-cold masterpiece’: The Raid is one of the best action flicks ever made

  • Cillian Murphy threatens Rachel McAdams in the thriller Red Eye

    Red Eye: Wes Craven’s flight from hell is piloted brilliantly from start to end

    Cillian Murphy may not rate it now, but this is arguably the most underrated film in the Scream director’s oeuvre
  • Mariah Carey performs during a concert in Times Square

    Mariah’s World: utterly unrelatable and completely fabulous reality TV

    This series is a sometimes frustrating, ultimately illusory fantasy befitting the elusive chanteuse herself
  • Jake Gyllenhaal in The Day After Tomorrow.

    The Day After Tomorrow at 20: a strangely prescient ecological warning

    The disaster flick is riddled with inaccuracies, cliches and gusts of machismo. But with its global climate catastrophe, it feels more relevant than ever
  • Patrick Swayze in Road House

    So 80s it hurts: punch-ups, pro wrestlers and Patrick Swayze mix in the delightfully absurd Road House

    The classic action flick about a grungy dive bar and its chiselled bouncer is utterly ridiculous – and all the better for it
  • Angela Lansbury in Murder, She Wrote

    The cosy joys of Murder, She Wrote: is there anything more wholesome than Angela Lansbury solving crimes?

    Why is an author allowed into crime scenes? Who cares! There are few examples of more comforting telly than this sweet show

    Grimm: a paint-by-numbers cop drama – with a magic detective and mythical beasts

    This fantasy procedural is sometimes cheesy, by nature formulaic and occasionally derivative – but is also great fun, particularly for Buffy fans
  • Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep in Heartburn.

    From meet-cute to marriage breakdown: Streep and Nicholson shine in Nora Ephron’s bittersweet Heartburn

    This forerunner to the writer’s charming romcoms is real and relatable – the truest of her meditations on love
  • Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas holding firearms in front of a Ferrari

    Miami Vice is cheesy and brutally unsubtle – but it remains sexy as hell

    In this neon dream of a police procedural, Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas take on the city’s crime problem while looking as cool as possible
  • Set It Up

    Set It Up: the 2018 Netflix romcom that became a classic of the genre

    Glen Powell and Zoey Deutch ooze chemistry in this under-appreciated romcom about two overworked assistants trying to set up their bosses
  • Christopher Abbott and Jerrod Carmichael in On the Count of Three.

    On the Count of Three: a suicide-pact comedy that’s not as depressing as it sounds

    This dark but sincere film stars Jerrod Carmichael and Christopher Abbott as two friends who plan their final day after deciding to kill each other
  • Shetland’s DI Jimmy Perez (Douglas Henshall), DC Sandy Wilson (Steven Robertson) and DS Alison McIntosh (Alison O’Donnell)

    Good knitwear, great accents and a stoic detective: Shetland is peak ‘dad television’ – and I love it

    This BBC Scottish crime series gives a lot, very quietly. A decade late, I have happily jumped on the bandwagon/slow-moving local ferry
  • Robin Williams in Death to Smoochy
