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. HBO Max was rebranded as Max, but it’s still filled with 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.
24 500 Days Of Summer Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel star in 500 Days of Summer as a lovelorn greeting card writer and the woman he falls for, a deconstruction of the “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” stock character. With its nonlinear narrative chronicling a neurotic young man’s recollections of a failed relationship, 500 Days of Summer is essentially a modern-day take on Annie Hall – and one of the few romcoms to effectively recapture that movie’s magic.
20 Drive My Car Hidetoshi Nishijima stars in Drive My Car 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. Thanks to Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s compassionate direction and sharp script, Drive My Car is an enrapturing drama about grief and regret.
16 Blue Velvet Blue Velvet stars Kyle MacLachlan as everyman Jeffrey Beaumont. The movie sees him return to his hometown, find a severed ear in a field, and get drawn into the seedy criminal underworld, where he becomes determined to save a captive sex worker . Blue Velvet is David Lynch's masterpiece, blending the mundane with the macabre; it saved the director’s career after the box office disappointment of Dune.
13 The Shining Adapted from Stephen King’s bestseller of the same name, The Shining stars Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance, a struggling writer who takes a job as the winter caretaker at a remote, snowbound hotel, where he slowly descends into madness and turns against his long-suffering wife and son. Stanley Kubrick ditched most of the source material besides the premise and the main characters and turned out one of the most chilling and iconic horror movies ever made.
10 Parasite Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite, the finest film of a career full of fine films, revolves around a working-class family who all con their way into jobs working for a wealthy upper-class family. But when their employers go away and the working-class family infiltrates their house, they discover a dark secret. Parasite is a thrilling, darkly comedic tale of class warfare, tackling universal themes with relatable characters.
