Peacock today is adding 87 new titles, including 72 films, to its Premium and Premium Plus plans (starts at $4.99 a month). Here are the three best movies added today.
* The Big Lebowski, the 1998 cult comedy from the Coen Bros. about a Los Angeles slacker (Jeff Bridges) named ‘The Dude’ who accidentally becomes entangled in a mistaken murder. Only Joel and Ethan Coen could take this farfetched plot and turn it into an iconic masterpiece that resonates with multiple generations. The flawless supporting cast includes John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Philip Seymour Hoffman, David Huddleston, Julianne Moore, and John Turturro as Jesus, a bowler with a strange fetish for his ball.
* Minority Report, Steven Spielberg’s 2002 sci-fi classic starring Tom Cruise as a detective who’s accused of murder before he commits it. Spielberg’s treatment of the 1956 Philip K. Dick short story (and a cast of thousands who contributed to the screenplay) is littered with eerily accurate portrayals of future life and Cruise is at his earnest best as the hunter turned hunted.
* The Back to the Future trilogy starring Michael J. Fox as a teenager whose friendship with an eccentric professor (Christopher Lloyd) enables him to become a time traveling, Delorean-driving adventurer for three films. The original is nearly four decades old (speaking of time traveling fast), but it remains as sweet and funny as ever.
Honorable mentions should also go to The Sixth Sense, Apollo 13, Twelve Monkeys and Traffic, all great works as well.
Below is the complete list of new titles added today to Peacock.
