It was an eclectic band of flicks that made the list, ranging from every genre including action, comedy, drama and animation.

Scottish history took its pride of place on the list - as Braveheart came in at No. 19 to confirm Mel Gibson's epic as an official hit.

But Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting - starring Ewan McGregor - narrowly beat its big-budget Scots rival to come in at No. 18 - despite its modest cash flow and realistic, troublesome plot.

The streaming service polled 2,000 Brits and it was no surprise to see prison drama The Shawshank Redemption lead the line - just pipping Pretty Woman at number two.

Steven Spielberg classics Jurassic Park and Schindler's List also made the top ten while Titanic, Home Alone and Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction also featured high up.

A number of Disney's also made the honour roll including Toy Story and Lion King.
