The Da Vinci Code (2006)
Looking for a mystery type of movie? Well, look no further! The Da Vinci Code is about a murder that happens inside the Louvre, with clues hidden inside the Da Vinci paintings–which leads to the discovery of a mystery that has been protected by a secret society for over two thousand years.

Toy Story (1995)
If you’re in the mood for a nostalgic type of movie, then why not watch the first Toy Story on Disney Plus! Even still to this day, Toy Story is marked as a technical achievement as it was the first completely computer-animated film.
