With so many television channels and streaming services on offer it’s easy to get blinded by choice and watch something you’ve seen before - another few episodes of Friends?
But if you know where to look you can make full use of your monthly subscriptions and enjoy films that haven’t even been in the cinema yet.
Every month sees original films pop up on Netflix for their world premiere, alongside brand new films that did’t get a cinematic release in the UK (manu of which are excellent).
Here are a dozen to check out in July.
