You know you’ve made it big when you have your own famous meme: if I had £1 for every time I’ve seen the Henry Cavill meme where Jason Momoa is creeping up on him, I’d have enough money to cast Cavill in my own movies. But until that happens,Netflixis one of the best places to get your Henry Cavill fix. You could say that theNetflixCavill collectionis super, man.

That’s the last pun, I promise.

Here’s three movies starring Henry Cavill that I think are worth watching, and each one is available to stream right now on Netflix.

Not to be confused with the 1996 vampire killing movie of the same name – a movie so bad that the best anyone could say about it was that it was “better than Bloodfist 8” – Night Hunter was originally called Nomis and has a hilarious 14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. According to Mark Kermode, it’s “Superman in a hood in a remake of the last scene from Silence of the Lambs, but not as good” – and if that doesn’t make you add this to your watch list immediately I really don’t think we can be friends. Night Hunter takes a really good cast – Ben Kingsley! Stanley Tucci! – and completely wastes their talents on a “titter-inducing” (The Times) screenplay that delivers a load of “twaddle” (The Guardian). This is so much my kind of film it’s unreal.

You knew I was going to include this after the dreadful pun in the intro and, er, the enormous Superman picture at the top of the page. And it should be here, because it’s great and I think it’s really underrated: on Rotten Tomatoes it’s got a rubbish 56% rating, which I think is deeply unfair. Cavill is perfectly cast as the heroic and too-nice-to-be-human Superman and he delivers a pitch-perfect performance, and while that’s clearly in conflict with Zack Snyder’s overly flashy direction the movie is much more ambitious and thoughtful than your typical superhero fare. It’s closer in mood to the darker, grittier Batman movies of recent years than it is to Superman Returns, and while it’s not fully realised – the last half hour or so sometimes feels like it’s a different movie – it’s an interesting oddity thanks to Cavill’s superhuman presence.
