MALIGNANT – Official Trailer

Malignant is a horror movie directed by James Wan  that will strike terror in your heart, if we can be honest with you that is one of the main reasons we listed it on our category of best suspense movies on HBO Max now. Although HBO Max has a large collection of horror movies, including The Shining and the Conjuring series, we have chosen James Wan’s genuinely insane Malignant to symbolize them all.

Malignant was theatrically released in the United States on September 10, 2021, by Warner Bros.
The main character of the movie is Madison. She is paralyzed by shocking visions of horrific murders that haunt her. Madison’s torture gets worse when she discovers that these realistic dreams are a terrifying reality.

The Fugitive

The Fugitive (1993) Official Trailer #1 - Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones Movie

The Fugitive is an American action thriller movie based on a novel of the same name by author Richard Stark. The film stars Harrison Ford as Dr. Richard Kimble, a surgeon who was wrongly convicted of murdering his wife. After being arrested he manages to escape from the police when there was an accident while he was being transported to the prison. After that, he goes on the run across America.

The movie was based on an actual case from 1963 when Dr. Richard Kimble (played by Harrison Ford) went on the run after being accused of murdering his wife.

In the book, the story begins with the murder of a young woman named Karen Kimble. Her husband, Dr. Richard Kimble is arrested and charged with her murder. After he is found guilty, he escapes from prison and goes into hiding. He then travels across the United States, trying to find out who killed his wife.

“The Fugitive” is an action thriller movie and it has the standards of the more classic time, when acting, character, and dialogue all were meant to stand on their own, and where characters were meant to continue to develop right up until the last frame of the movie. It might be old but “Fugitive” deserves its place on our list of best movies on HBO Max right now.

Candyman

Candyman - Official Trailer 2

Candyman is a spooky horror film produced by Nia DaCosta and written by Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld, and DaCosta. It was released in theaters in 2021. Nia and Jordan gave their best and made sure that Candyman finds itself on our list of best movies on HBO Max right now.

The film is the fourth in the Candyman film series and is a worthy successor to the 1992 film of the same name.
The Plot: For as long as inhabitants can remember, the Cabrini-Green housing projects in Chicago have been tormented by a rumor of a supernatural murderer with a hook for a hand who can be easily called by saying his name five times in a mirror.

What the audience thinks of “Candyman” can probably describe a few comments that we bring you from the Rotten Tomatoes website:

  • Alexandra: “With its shadow puppetry, sophisticated reclamation of the Candyman legend, and slick, confident filmmaking, even for those not thrilled by the idea of horror cinema more generally, it is hard to deny that Candyman is a massive and exciting step forward. I can surely see it on any list of best movies on HBO Max right now.”
  • David: “The ending of the movie doesn’t quite work, and comments on contemporary issues such as police violence, gentrification, and systemic racism don’t always fit with the established mythology of the series.”

Possessor

POSSESSOR Official Trailer (2020) Horror, Sci-Fi Movie

The Possessor is a masterpiece directed by Brandon Cronenberg who made sure that “Possessor” is found on our list of best movies on HBO Max right now.

The sci-fi movie follows an assassin (Andrea Riseborough) who performs strikes by using implanted chip technology to take control of other people’s bodies. Doesn’t it appear simple? It is until she runs into difficulties with her current target that the body (Christopher Abbott) she takes over realizes he isn’t ready to surrender absolute control.

What does the audience think of Possessor shows one of the comments when asked if Possessor is a good movie. The guy in front of the cinema said “This is truly one of the best and smartest films of the past decade and it’s an absolute win.”

Nightmare Alley

NIGHTMARE ALLEY | Official Trailer | Searchlight Pictures

Nightmare Alley is a neo-noir psychological thriller movie made in the United States in 2021. Guillermo del Toro directed the movie based on a script by del Toro and Kim Morgan. Nightmare Alley is suspense on another level but isn’t that what you wanted?

Guillermo del Toro delivers a stunning noir melodrama filled with gruesomely enjoyable performances and bizarre surprises. Contrary to popular belief, he demonstrates that two businesses are similar to showbusiness: psychotherapy and crime.

With his customary love of the surreal and hallucinogenic, the same reverence of classic golden age Americana, and occasional spasms of body-horror brutality, Del Toro leads us into a terrifying fairground.
Nightmare Alley is based on a 1946 novel by pulp author William Lindsay Gresham, who was fascinated by the sleazy carnies, circuses, traveling acts, and magicians in the United States, with their strange occult shimmer.

Nightmare Alley was initially released in 1947, starring Tyrone Power, and now Bradley Cooper is reprising the character of Stan Carlisle, a man with no money and a violent background who has to hide for a while.

SCIENCE FICTION

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Official Trailer #1 - (2001) HD

The Lord of the Rings is a series of three epic fantasy adventure films directed by Peter Jackson. The movies are based on the novel written by J. R. R. Tolkien. The films have subtitled The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002), and The Return of the King (2003).

We can hardly tell you which one of those three is the best, that is impossible to decide since all three parts are superstars of the movie production.

Here is a small peek into the plot of this masterpiece.
The story begins a long time ago when the Dark Lord Sauron forged a Ring of Power to control Middle‑earth. But the Ring was stolen, and for a long time thought to be lost. Many years later the Ring of Power is found by hobbit Bilbo Baggins. In a land called the Shire, Frodo inherits the Ring from his uncle Bilbo. Now Frodo must take a journey across the lands of Middle‑earth and throw the Ring into the volcano; Mt. Doom, the only place it can be destroyed.

And as you can imagine the old evil Sauron doesn’t approve of the idea of destroying his PRECIOUS ring (you will see what we did here when you encounter the Gollum) which he needs to control all the other rings he created. Make sure to read our DETAILED PLOT section and see why  LOTR series is considered probably the best of the best movies on HBO Max right now.

Harry Potter Series

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) Official Trailer - Daniel Radcliffe Movie HD

One of the greatest movie series ever left us no choice but to put it on our list of best movies on HBO Max right now. Harry Potter is based on the eponymous novel by J. K. Rowling.

The series is distributed by Warner Bros. and consists of eight fantasy films.
Harry Potter movies in order are:

All the movies have been a success financially and critically, which made the Harry Potter franchise one of the major Hollywood stars. The series is unique as it grows visually darker and more deadly as each film was released.

No doubt this series would be on the top of the list of best movies ever created, and for sure it deserves to be on our list of best movies on HBO Max right now.

The Jurassic Park Trilogy

The Lost World: Jurassic Park Official Trailer #1 - Jeff Goldblum Movie (1997) HD

Jurassic Park, also later referred to as Jurassic World is an American science fiction franchise with the theme of a disastrous attempt to create a theme park of cloned dinosaurs in a modern world.
As the old saying says “The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence”, so it is hard to say how the protagonists of Jurassic Park expected anything else than a disaster.

*Our team creating a list of best movies on HBO Max right now sees dinosaurs*

Team: write that down, write that down! 

The Batman

THE BATMAN Trailer (2022)

The Batman (2022) is a 2022 American superhero movie based on the DC Comics character Batman. Produced by Warner Bros, it is a reboot of the widely popular Batman Film Franchise.

The movie picks up in Bruce Wayne’s second year of prowling the streets as the dark knight and finds him involved in an investigation into a series of killings that were committed by The Riddler (Paul Dano).

Batman follows the Riddler’s trail to the ruins of an orphanage funded by Bruce’s murdered parents, Thomas, and Martha Wayne, where he learns that the Riddler holds a grudge against his family.

What director Matt Reeves tried to do here is, give a new spin on a Batman. Incredibly hard task as batman is already well preserved in our heads. We can’t say that director Matt Reeves failed at this task.

DUNE

Dune | Official Main Trailer

The movie is an adaptation of the book, directed by Denis Villeneuve, who perfectly visualizes all scenes. “Dune” is set in the very distant future, in which humanity has evolved in both scientific and religious ways. The people in this scenario aren’t on the Earth, and the imperial family named Atreides is tasked with ruling the desert planet of Arrakis.

Which yields something called “the spice”. As you can imagine since “the spice” is so valuable they are not the only ones that want to control it.

“Dune” is a mythological and emotionally packed hero’s journey that tells the narrative of a smart and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his comprehension, who must travel to the universe’s most hostile planet to protect the future of his family and people.

Only those who can overcome their fear will survive as nefarious powers struggle for the planet’s only supply of the most valuable resource in existence, a spice. Commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential.

This movie deserves its place on our list of best movies on HBO Max but if you are not a fan of science–fiction movies then Dune probably won’t be your cup of tea.

Wonder Woman 2 (Wonder Woman 1984)

Wonder Woman 1984 – Official Trailer

Wonder Woman 1984 is a 2020 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Wonder Woman.

The film depicts Diana and her prior love Steve Trevor as they face up against Maxwell Lord and Cheetah in 1984 during the Cold War.

Zack Snyder's Justice League

Is it even necessary to discuss Zack Snyder’s Justice League?

This Justice League follows a team of superheroes, including Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher), as they attempt to save the world from a powerful supervillain, much like the original 2017 non-Snyder cut, but this version includes new scenes and world-building elements.

The film is also significantly longer than the last version, clocking in at somewhat more than four hours. We did not complain when we watched it since we enjoyed every second of it.

Aquaman

AQUAMAN - Final Trailer - Now Playing In Theaters

Aquaman is a 2018 American superhero film based on the same-named DC Comics character. It is the sixth film in the DC Extended Universe, produced by DC Entertainment and Peter Safran Productions and released by Warner Bros. Pictures (DCEU). Aquaman is considered the greatest success in DC Universe and since we agree here it is, on the list of best movies on HBO Max right now.

James Wan directed the picture, which was based on a script by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and Will Beall. It stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry / Aquaman, who sets out to govern Atlantis and prevent his half-brother, King Orm, from unifying the seven undersea kingdoms to destroy the surface world.

When he suddenly gains consciousness while still in a game, he starts making decisions by himself outside of his predetermined routine. A female gamer from the outside world played by Jodie Comer enlists his help to find some embedded code within the game.

Taika Waititi plays a nefarious video game designer, and Joe Keery plays an employee at the game company who may be helpful in Reynolds’s quest.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE - Official Trailer (HD)

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, was directed by Jake Kasdan and released in 2017. The movie was co-written by Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Scott Rosenberg, and Jeff Pinkner.

As four high school students who were in school detention together come upon an old video game console with a game they’ve never heard of before—Jumanji. They are quickly pulled into the game’s jungle environment, converting into the avatars they choose.

Dwayne Johnson plays gamer Spencer, who transforms into a brawny adventurer; Kevin Hart plays football jock Fridge, who loses “the top two feet of his body” and transforms into the “brain of the team”, popular girl Bethany transforms into a middle-aged male teacher (Jack Black) and Martha transforms into a super cool warrior (Karen Gillan).

They learn that Jumanji isn’t simply a game to play; it’s also a game to survive. To escape the program and escape to the actual world, they’ll have to embark on the most difficult journey of their lives.

Here is a comment from one of the viewers of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle:
“Funny but not that funny, thrilling but not that thrilling, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle works well enough—but doesn’t live up to its potential. Nonetheless, decent execution coupled with an amazing concept—and a terrific cast who relish in the opportunity—make this game worth a run.”

Even though we would not be this harsh on this great movie we partially agree with whoever wrote this comment. We agree that Jumanji has more potential, and we are sure that the next part will be a hit.
Be sure to check Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle on HBO Max and cast your own opinion on it.

DRAMA

The Godfather Trilogy

The Fallout

The Fallout | Official Trailer | Max

As she experienced emotional trauma after the mass shooting she is also going through changes in her relationship with her family.
Therapy and the pressure to return to school, as well as disputes with her activist closest friend, Nick, aren’t helping (Will Ropp). And the obvious question she is asking herself is, how to deal with this hard situation and how to overcome the stress.

The Fallout is a horrific piece in which the protagonists are treated in a searing and painful manner. It’s surprising how sensitive the author is to the details of each character’s experience. It brought us close to the main characters and we dont regret putting it on our list of best movies on HBO Max right now.

West Side Story (Romantic Drama)

Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story" | Official Teaser | 20th Century Studios

While the epidemic hampered Steven Spielberg’s version of West Side Narrative at the box office, that doesn’t take away from this innovative retelling of the Romeo and Juliet story. Spielberg modifies the iconic musical with alterations befitting a modern version, including casting Rita Moreno as the new heroine Valentina.

While Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler do a fantastic job as the new Tony and Maria, Ariana DeBose’s Anita steals the stage with her vibrant enthusiasm. DeBose offers an inspiring performance throughout the film, from dancing through the streets of New York to her tragic revelation at the conclusion.

Spielberg’s West Side Story is a rare remake that is maybe even better than the original.
This “West Side Story” is filled with so much beauty. It combines elements that have deeply affected pop culture.

After the original 1937 American romantic drama, the 1954 American musical, and the 1976 American musical, this is the fourth cinematic adaptation of the plot. If you ask us it is probably the best one but not everyone might agree, that is probably the reason we did put it on our list of best movies on HBO Max right now.

BASED ON A TRUE STORY

Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off

Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off | Official Trailer | HBO

Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off is a documentary movie directed by Sam Jones, is nominally a documentary on the world’s greatest skateboarder, but it’s also, perhaps unwittingly, a look at Generation X’s unwillingness (chillingly, even worse than Boomers) to recognize that they’re getting too old for some things.

Because there appear to be some clear boundaries drawn between what Hawk was and wasn’t prepared to discuss on camera, this is the most interesting aspect of an otherwise very repetitive true narrative about perseverance in the face of hardship.

The movie is at its best when it examines Hawk’s insatiable desire to learn a trick – his attempts at landing a 900 are the heart and soul of Until the Wheels Fall Off. The movie shows Tony’s family, friends, and counterparts talking about him and his career.

Their view of his career and his personality maybe shows the best why he is considered a skate God.
“Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off” is probably the movie for sportsmen looking for an inspirational story but it deserves its place on the list of best movies on HBO Max right now.

The Last Duel

THE LAST DUEL Official Trailer (2021)

“The Last Duel,” a compelling tale of betrayal and retribution set against the cruelty and female oppression of 14th century France, comes from Twentieth Century Studios and renowned filmmaker Ridley Scott.

Ridley Scott’s medieval epic movie is, above everything else, a movie about men’s folly. It’s a crazy, long horror-comedy about ladies in the 14th century who were at the mercy of arrogant, petty, and vicious males who were only concerned with their position even when someone’s life was on the line.

The Last Duel’s criticism of systemic patriarchy isn’t as strong as it could be, but it’s still a well-acted, thought-provoking drama with epic grandeur.

Navalny

Navalny - Official Trailer

Daniel Roher’s documentary film Navalny is set in 2022. The plot centers around Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and the circumstances surrounding his assassination.

HBO Max and CNN Films produced it. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2022.

Dunkirk

DUNKIRK - OFFICIAL MAIN TRAILER [HD]

If you are a fan of history, war, and action, then after watching Dunkirk you will contact us to put it in the number one spot on our list of best movies on HBO Max.

Dunkirk is a 2017 war film directed, written, and eventually produced by Christopher Nolan that tells the story of the Dunkirk exodus during World War II from the viewpoints of land, sea, and air. Nolan has gone back in time with Dunkirk, bringing to life one of the most major events of the twentieth century: the rescue of British troops at Dunkirk.

Individual acts of bravery and valor are highlighted in the film, which is based on tiny details of decision and chance, on which the overall historic event is built.

The time the movie is based on is World War II (WWII). On the French shore at Dunkirk, the German troops had surrounded about 400,000 British and French troops. A tiny contingent of largely French soldiers is guarding the perimeter around which the British and French troops have gathered, which is shrinking as German forces advance.

The majority of the British and French troops are now on the beach, awaiting ships to arrive and transport them back to the United Kingdom. The British soldiers are planned to be evacuated first. The main problem at the time of the planned evacuation was that Dunkirk can be accessed only by one dock which must be guarded against the German war machine.

The bravery of Allied troops in World War II is perfectly captured with every frame in this movie and we are 100% sure you will enjoy it. While making the list of best movies on HBO Max right now no movie did what Dunkirk managed, it showed us that there always was and always will be people prepared to sacrifice themselves for others. So don’t wait any longer and jump into this epic historical moment with Nolan’s masterpiece.

Winning Time: The Rise Of The Lakers Dynasty

Reilly) purchase of the Lakers, and the entire thing is shot using filters to make it look like footage from that era, which will be fantastic to some and infuriating to others. It’s like Boogie Nights, but instead of pornography, it’s basketball.

Crazy Train Trailer | Infinity Train | Cartoon Network

On November 1, 2016, Cartoon Network released the series pilot. “Infinity Train” is one of the best movies on HBO Max right now in the cartoon category. Keep reading to see more of them below.

The story is set aboard a massive, mysterious, and seemingly infinite train going over desolate terrain, with cars filled with odd, imaginative, and impossible settings. Passengers on the train go from car to car by completing tasks that aid in the resolution of their psychological trauma and depressive issues.

Each season of Infinity Train (called a “Book,” each with its subtitle) has its plot and cast of characters, however, some characters appear in many seasons again and again.
“Infinity Train” is one of the best movies on HBO max right now at least considering a cartoon section.

If you are a parent looking for the best cartoon on HBO Max service all you need to know is that “Infinity Train” is an intriguing adventure story in which an adolescent boards a train carrying cars that serve as portals to other universes.
The heroine and her friends are hunted by gigantic or otherwise scary monsters at times, and the supposedly unending nature of the train’s different worlds makes the story’s resolution unpredictable.

Overall, the series deals with fun and delight in Tulip’s adventures as a train passenger, as well as good lessons about love, honesty, and personality.

What did the audience think of Infinity Train? Here are a few comments that we picked up from the web:

  • This is an entertaining program that tackles difficult issues (such as addressing your demons) while being compelling and well-placed. The kids and grownups both enjoyed it. I had to keep myself from seeing the following show after the kids are in bed.
  • Book one is appropriate for all ages, however, the darker passages may frighten younger children. Chapter 2 is a little more violent (particularly at the conclusion), but it is still appropriate for children aged 9 and above. Book three is by far the darkest yet, and it has the potential to terrify certain youngsters (hell, it traumatized me). I still think it’s worth watching for the show’s lessons and purpose; it’s about diverse individuals learning to face their difficulties and become better people. The show is also really entertaining, and you and your child will most likely be on the tip of your seats. I simply wanted to warn you about how dark it is (mainly book 3).
