titanic
James Cameron is not his first attempt at record films! In 1997, he directed Titanic, which went to number one for more than a decade. This iconic 3h15 feature film presents an impossible romance on the ship, which is unfortunately known for its sinking in 1912 and sent the careers of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet to prison. In France, it remains the film that attracted the most audiences in cinemas, surpassing the 21 million admission mark…
Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Infinity War, the 5th biggest hit at the box office, is also available on Disney+. A year before the end of the saga, the film introduces the appearance of Josh Brolin’s camped Titan, Thanos. Collecting the Infinity Stones, he wants to destroy half of the souls that inhabit the galaxy: the ultimate challenge for Team Shock.
The Avengers
In 2012, The Avengers brings together for the first time the heroes of the Marvel Universe: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk and everyone else to face Loki, Thor’s evil brother. This first crossover of the franchise then becomes the Marvel work that attracted the most viewers, a significant triumph to set up the very ambitious project of the MCU, which is still only in its early stages.
Frozen II
A little softness! In 2019, Frozen II manages to achieve success: surpassing the already very high score of the first part. Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Kristoff return in an all-new Frozen story, transporting young and old to the confines of the magical kingdom of Arendelle, always with song, of course!
Avengers: Age of Ultron
A true success when it was released in 2015, Avengers: Age of Ultron remains a top 15 international blockbuster to this day. The vigilante’s enemy this time is none other than Ultron, an artificial intelligence created by Tony Stark himself…
Black panther
Among the heroes who won Marvel fans, T’Challa, nicknamed Black Panther, is considered untouchable. The film features a hero from Wakanda, an ultra-developed African nation, played by the late Chadwick Boseman. In 2019, it received 7 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. And now it’s time to (re)discover it on Disney+ as its sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, hits theaters in November 2022!
Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi
Rey, Finn and Poe are back, as is Luke Skywalker, the main character from the original trilogy, again played by Mark Hamill. The battle between the Resistance and the First Order rages on in Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, the final installment in the saga, directed by Rian Johnson in 2017.
Ice queen
A magical world, a cursed princess with icy powers and unforgettable songs: in 2013, the Snow Queen swept theaters and took the hearts of the public with her, to the point where she became a true icon of pop culture. Awarded Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards, the feature film can be enjoyed with the family on Disney+. “Free yourself! Delivered!”
The chief and the monster
Just like The Lion King, the animated classic Beauty and the Beast gets its live-action remake! It’s Emma Watson, Dan Stevens and Luke Evans sharing the poster, offering a whole new dimension to this story adapted from the 18th century children’s tale. Among the 20 greatest hits in cinema, the film can be (re)discovered on the platform.
Incredibles 2
14 years after the release of the first opus, The Incredibles 2 hit theaters in 2018, a feature film aimed at young audiences as much as those who grew up watching the adventures of the super family Parry, this time with a mysterious hypnotist. The two episodes are a must watch or watch again on Disney+.
Iron man 3
Among the three installments centered around the character of Iron Man, the one played by Robert Downey Jr., the last one was the highest at the box office. Indeed, Iron Man 3 began in 2013 in MCU Phase II, after the Avengers box set. At his best, Tony Stark meets The Mandarin, a mysterious antagonist from the comic book universe.
Captain America: Civil War
In Captain America: Civil War, the rivalry between the Avengers rages on. Some members of the vigilante group are willing to submit to the control of an outside organization to limit disruption, while others flatly refuse. The titanic clash between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark is directed by the Russo brothers. It is in this feature film that we find Tom Holland in his Spider-Man costume for the first time!
Captain Marvel
Make way for the superhero whose first movie in 2019 is a real hit: Captain Marvel. Brie Larson stars as Carol Danvers, a pilot who discovers superpowers, alongside Samuel Lee Jackson as Nick Fury. Before him, Jude Law plays Chris, the main antagonist. The dream cast that took the blockbuster into the top 30 worldwide box office and that you can see on Disney+!
