Here’s the big news: HBO Max released 170 movies on November 1, 2020 alone! Also, I spend too much time talking about original content.
Streaming services put so much emphasis on original content that curated content takes a backseat. I know that I’m a huge part of this problem. Week after week, I gush about the original content on the various streaming services. This week, HBO Max has inspired me to sing the praises of curated content. How can I not after the streaming service made a whopping 170 movies available to its subscribers.
How Can HBO Max Release So Many Movies?
The short answer is AT&T’s various properties. Think about it. The corporations owns Turner and Warner Media. This gives AT&T access to all the programming made by TNT, Turner Classic Movies, and Warner Media Studios. That’s a mighty big catalog when you think about it. So, without any further ado, here are my top three picks for HBO Max’s November movies:
1. The Dark Knight
Is there anyone here who doesn’t think this was Christopher Nolan’s best film? It’s his best Batman film, and definitely in the running for best Batman movie ever. I mean Christian Bale and Heath Ledger as enemies in the same movie? Solid gold performances, as far as I’m concerned. HBO Max thinks so too. If you’re a subscriber, check it out… even if you’ve already seen it.
2. Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau
These two deserve a trophy for being the greatest comedy duo of our time. Don’t believe me? Well, HBO Max gives you not one but TWO chances to enjoy their greatness. You can enjoy Vaughn and Favreau in Swingers, a hilarious slice-of-life comedy about two hipsters in 1990s LA. You can also see them in Made. It’s a hilarious tale involving the misadventures of two wannabe gangsters. My advice: watch them both and be prepared to laugh a lot.
3. The Neverending Story
This ’80s kids classic is enjoying a rebirth of sorts, thanks to Netflix’s Stranger Things, season 3. (You know what I’m talking about.) Gen Xers remember this sweeping and romantic tale from our childhoods. HBO Max gives us the chance to relive the magic, while also introducing it to our own children. (There’s hope for the future!) And if the whole family falls in love with it, you can move on to The Neverending Story II: The Next Chapter, also available on HBO Max.
