What are the best movies on Max right now?
Quick Links From bleak, sobering dramas like Raging Bull and Drive My Car to ambitious, mind-bending sci-fi epics like Dune and 2001: A Space Odyssey, the best movies on the HBO streaming service Max include some of the all-time greats of cinema history. Just as with its previous iteration, HBO Max, Max offers all the classics from the Warner Bros. library of films. From the Harry Potter franchise to The Matrix movies to treasured comic book icons like Batman and Superman, the Warner Bros.
Stanley Kubrick took audiences from the beginning of civilization to the next stage of human evolution in his mind-bending science fiction masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey. The film opens with apes evolving into humans, as they figure out how to use violence to get what they want, and it ends with a human astronaut becoming a “Star Child” and transcending the boundaries of the physical universe.
Based on an entry from Haruki Murakami's short story anthology Men Without Women, Drive My Car is a deliberately-paced dramatic epic exploring existential themse of grief and regret. Hidetoshi Nishijima stars as a theater director working on a multilingual production of Uncle Vanya while processing the death of his wife, played by Reika Kirishima. Misaki Watari plays the driver with whom he forms an unexpected bond, allowing him to process his complex emotions.
One of the most successful independent movies ever released, My Big Fat Greek Wedding's success belies its relatively tiny budget. Made for just $5 million, this sleeper hit eventually made over $360 million at the global box office and remains a cultural touchstone to this day. Nia Vardalos stars as Toula, a Greek-American woman who falls in love with a non-Greek and struggles to get her overbearing family to accept her choice of partner.
A combination of cut-throat social satire and effectively creepy chills makes The Menu a successful – if unconventional – modern horror. The movie takes place within the claustrophobic confines of a fictitious elite restaurant, where a top chef and his crew work with cult-like devotion to create the perfect meal. However, unbeknownst to the guests, food is just one of the factors under consideration in the kitchen.
One of the most explosive, innovative, and influential sci-fi action movies ever made, The Terminator announced James Cameron as a director and confirmed Arnold Schwarzenegger's status as a star. The movie centers on a future conflict between man and machines, in which two combatants are sent back through time to battle over the human resistance's future leader.
Often named the greatest comedy movie ever made, with an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score of 97%, Airplane! ostensibly revolves around an ex-fighter pilot who is called into action when the entire crew of a passenger plane comes down with food poisoning. However, this setup is just an excuse for an onslaught of quickfire gags and hilariously contrived set pieces. There are few films that get laughs as big or as frequent as Airplane! does.
A quirky comedy that put one of America's most niche sports in the spotlight, Dodgeball is – as its tagline suggests – a true underdog story. The movie sees two rival gyms go head-to-head in a national dodgeball tournament in a bid to save the smaller of the two businesses. Ben Stiller is spectacularly eccentric as the flamboyantly evil White Goodman, while Rip Torn steals the show as unorthodox coach and ex-dodgeball star Patches O'Houlihan.
