HBO Max launched in May 2020, and has continued to expand over the past year, adding original movies and TV shows, anime, kids content, and catalog items from both Warner Bros.’ vault and licensed content from other companies. As with other streaming platforms that offer a lot of content, the problem isn’t lack of things to watch–it’s knowing what to choose.
There are hundreds of movies on HBO Max, from practically every genre you can think of. It’s a daunting amount, so we’ve been through the catalog to pick out some must-watch titles. Not all of these films will appeal to every viewer, but all are great movies in their own genres.
There are Oscar-winning epics, influential sci-fi movies, ground-breaking ’70s films, world cinema classics, and some of the biggest movies from the past two decades. All are available to watch right now on HBO Max, so if you’re stuck for something to check out, you could do a lot worse than pick something new from this list…
