We truly are living in the golden age of cinema. Or, at least, the golden age of being able to watch top movies without struggle.

Gone are the days when you had to rent a DVD from Blockbuster, or trek out to the local cinema. Nowadays, you can curl up on the sofa, throw on one of thebest streaming servicesand pick from thousands of top titles.

Now, one of my all time favourite films is coming toNetflix. From August 1st, viewers in the USA will be able to stream The Bee Movie. And boy, are you in for a treat when you do.

Don’t write this movie off prematurely. Sure, you might look at the animated characters and see a kids movie. You’re notentirelywrong, but there’s a reason why I love this film so much.

It strikes a really nice balance between being entertaining for younger and older audiences, making it a perfect choice for the whole family. Plus, it carries some important messages throughout.

I was stunned to learn that this modern classic only has a 49% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The popular film critic site is usually a good source for movie ratings, but I think they’ve got this one totally wrong.

The other caveat is that this doesn’t appear to be heading to viewers in the UK at the same time. That’s a shame – mainly because it means I won’t be able to watch it for the 1,001st time. But hey, my loss is your gain.

If you’re still not convinced, don’t fret. There are a whole host of other options on the site for users to enjoy.
