The best movies on Disney Plus

From Free Solo to Star Wars, these are the finest films on Disney's streaming service

Recently subscribed to Disney Plus and wondering what to watch first? Here are five of our favorite movies on the House of Mouse's streaming platform...

THE LION KING (1994)

Simba's tale of succession is often seen as the jewel in Disney's crown. Everything about it feels big: the stampede scene, James Earl Jones' voice, the themes of legacy and sacrifice. A masterpiece. 

FREE SOLO (2018)

Afraid of heights? Then move swiftly onto the next slide. This astonishing doc chronicles climber Alex Hommold's quest to climb El Capitan without a rope. Say goodbye to your fingernails. 

THE AVENGERS MOVIES (2012 – 2019)

Weaving together plotlines from every entry of the MCU, the Avengers movies act as the big cornerstones for Marvel's huge series. Infinity War and Endgame are both incredibly well done. 

STAR WARS – ORIGINAL TRILOGY (1977 – 1983)

From Han and Leia's "I know" exchange to Luke's thrilling duels with Darth Vader, the original Star Wars movies are timeless classics. Even the Ewoks can't spoil this epic sci-fi celebration.

BEAUTY & THE BEAST (1991)

This masterpiece is a wonderful example of what Disney does best: it uses modern technology and thinking to breathe sweepingly romantic life into an old folktale. A joy of a movie.
