HBO Max, which is heavily promoting its original TV series to lure new subscribers, is also rapidly becoming a movie fan’s dream with a large selection of classic films and hidden gems from every era and genre. The new streaming service this week is adding 170 new movies.
Owned by AT&T, which also owns Turner (TNT, Turner Classic Movies) and Warner Media (Warner Media Studios), HBO Max is able to draw from a vast catalog of past and recent flicks.
This week’s new films include Femme Fatale, Brian De Palma’s underrated 2002 sexy thriller starring Rebecca Romijn as a jewel thief at the Cannes Film Festival (the first 10 minutes are brilliant cinema; vintage De Palma!); A Face In the Crowd, Elia Kazan’s 1957 satirical drama starring Andy Griffith (!) as a guitar-playing drifter who becomes an American icon through manipulation; Swingers, director Doug Liman’s second film starring Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau (who wrote it) as hipsters in LA’s 1990s who only want to score with the ‘beautiful babies”; The Right Stuff, the 1983 masterpiece based on Tom Wolfe’s best-selling non-fiction book about the Mercury astronauts; and The Dark Knight, arguably Christopher Nolan’s best film starring Christian Bale as Batman and the late Heath Ledger as The Joker.
