5. Codebreaker (2014)
The Oscar winning movie, The Imitation Game, is a great choice but until it is available on Netflix, this documentary on Alan Turing's life is truly fascinating.

It's perfect for getting the perfect numbers right and watching just how it all came to be under such extraordinary circumstances.
6. Stand By Me (1986)
A group of friends going on an adventure together and exploring life is perfect but the actual scene involving pies might be the hardest one in the film to watch.
