A plane ride of movies: the recommended , the rent first and the avoids.. What makes a movie stand out? Make millions and entice viewers to come back for a second show, to talk about it for days after? Surely it's not merely CGI. Neither is it big names, or large production value action sequences. If you look at the best shows, there's always a good plot, then the excellent chemistry between the actors and that mix of action, romance and comedy that gives a little bit of something for everyone.

A brand new one with almost nothing on the odometer  150 quid a day for a spin in a brand new car? Not bad at all  First thing to note, this version is made in Germany BUT that'
