Oscar award winner — Parasite has also been added to this list with its intriguing plot.

Think ‘The Walking Dead’ except a lot lighter with a good sense of humour. Just as things start to get intense, the stress is diffused with comedic one-liners by the talented cast in the move that include Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson among others.
