The Best Movies You've Never Seen episodes

  • Little Miss Sunshine

    When seven-year-old Olive qualifies for a children’s beauty pageant, her wildly dysfunctional family has no choice but to pile into a battered yellow VW van and drive across the country to get her there on time.

    Her failed motivational speaker father, suicidal uncle, foul-mouthed grandfather, silent teenage brother, and exhausted mum all have one thing in common: they are each falling apart in their own way, and the van breaking down is the least of their problems.

    It is one of the funniest, most heartfelt films of the 2000s, and a quiet reminder that winning isn’t everything. If you have never seen it, The Best Movies You’ve Never Seen, thanks to Fetch and Hisense, is giving you the perfect reason to do so.

    1 hr 9 min
  • Gladiator

    A loyal Roman general is betrayed by the emperor's jealous son, his family is murdered, and he is left for dead and sold into slavery.

    Forced to fight in the arena, he rises through the ranks of the gladiators with one goal in mind: to reach the Colosseum and take revenge on the man who destroyed everything he loved.

    It won Best Picture and made Russell Crowe a global star, and if you have never seen it, The Best Movies You've Never Seen, thanks to Fetch and Hisense, is giving you the perfect reason to do so.

    1 hr 14 min
  • Cars (Recast)

    A hotshot rookie race car, obsessed with fame and terrified of anything slowing him down, gets stranded in a forgotten town on old Route 66.

    Stuck there with nowhere to go, he is forced to actually meet the locals, and what begins as a detour becomes the thing that changes him completely.

    Twenty years on, Cars is still one of Pixar's most heartfelt films, and to mark two decades since it first hit the road, we are revisiting it on The Best Movies You've Never Seen, thanks to Fetch and Hisense.

    1 hr 29 min
  • Planes Trains and Automobiles

    A buttoned-up marketing executive just wants to get home to Chicago for Thanksgiving, but every flight, train, and rental car conspires against him.

    Stuck sharing the journey with an overly chatty, relentlessly good-natured shower curtain ring salesman, what starts as pure irritation slowly turns into one of the most unexpected friendships in movie history.

    It is Steve Martin and John Candy at their absolute best, hilarious right up until it quietly breaks your heart, and if you have never seen it, The Best Movies You've Never Seen, thanks to Fetch and Hisense, is giving you the perfect reason to do so.

    1 hr 7 min
  • Erin Brockovich

    An unemployed, twice-divorced mum with no legal training talks her way into a filing job at a law firm, and stumbles across a stack of documents that do not add up.

    What she uncovers is a cover-up big enough to take down a billion-dollar energy company, and she is the only one stubborn enough to chase it all the way.

    It won Julia Roberts an Oscar and is one of the most quietly powerful true stories Hollywood has ever told, and if you have never sat down and watched it, The Best Movies You've Never Seen, thanks to Fetch and Hisense, is your excuse to finally fix that.

    1 hr 4 min
  • Malcolm

    A shy, socially awkward mechanical genius loses his job at the Melbourne tram depot for the crime of building his own tram, just for fun.

    Down on his luck, he takes in a couple of boarders who turn out to be small-time crooks, and it isn't long before his gift for inventing gadgets gets put to a very different use, planning one of the most inventive heists ever put on film.

    It swept the AFI Awards, it is proudly, uniquely Australian, and if you have somehow never seen it, that is exactly the gap The Best Movies You've Never Seen, thanks to Fetch and Hisense, exists to fill.

    1 hr 3 min
  • What Lies Beneath

    A Vermont housewife, still recovering from a car accident, starts hearing voices and seeing things in the lakeside home she shares with her scientist husband.

    As the visions grow stronger and harder to dismiss, she is drawn into a chilling mystery that forces her to question her marriage, her memory, and her own sanity.

    What Lies Beneath is a slow-burning, Hitchcockian thriller about secrets, guilt, and the ghosts that refuse to stay buried.

    59 min
  • Go

    A broke supermarket clerk stumbles into a drug deal to make her rent, unknowingly setting off a chain reaction involving undercover cops, soap opera actors, and a trip to Vegas gone very wrong.

    Told from three overlapping points of view, one wild night in LA spirals into double-crosses, near-misses, and chaos nobody saw coming.

    Go is a fast, funny, adrenaline-charged crime comedy about bad decisions, worse luck, and one unforgettable night.

    58 min
  • The Long Kiss Goodnight

    A small-town schoolteacher with a loving family and eight years of amnesia starts noticing something isn't right, she's a chef?

    A near-fatal accident jolts loose the truth, and she is pulled back into a violent past she never knew she had, with a down-on-his-luck private eye dragged along for the ride.

    The Long Kiss Goodnight is a slick, explosive action thriller about identity, memory, and the deadly woman hiding inside an ordinary life.

    1 hr 4 min
  • The Dish

    Following Sam Neill’s recent passing, we’re screening The Dish as a heartfelt tribute to one of Australia and New Zealand’s most beloved screen legends.

    In 1969, a small-town team at the Parkes radio telescope helps bring the Apollo 11 moon landing broadcast to the world.

    The Dish is a warm, funny, proudly Australian story about teamwork, history, and ordinary people playing a part in something extraordinary.
