Max will remove 120 movies from its streaming service in 10 days. Here are five you should watch before they leave.
Boyz n the Hood (1991)
Directed by John Singleton, this coming-of-age drama is a poignant exploration of the challenges faced by young African Americans growing up in a neighborhood plagued by violence and systemic inequality. With its compelling characters and raw, authentic storytelling, the film delivers a gripping narrative that sheds light on the harsh realities of urban life while also emphasizing the importance of education, family, and making choices that can break the cycle of violence and despair.
Caddyshack (1980)
The hilarious and drug-fueled send-up of country club life stars Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Ted Knight and Rodney Dangerfield. And after hearing the names of those four great comedians, you need no further information on why to stream in.
JFK (1991)
Director Oliver Stone’s gripping and controversial masterpiece delves into the intricacies of one of the most enigmatic chapters in American history. Anchored by Kevin Costner’s compelling performance as New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, the film explores the labyrinthine conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Stone’s frenetic direction, combined with a stellar ensemble cast and a dense, conspiracy-laden narrative, creates an intense cinematic experience. While the film takes creative liberties with historical facts, it successfully challenges the official account of JFK’s murder, leaving audiences questioning the depths of government secrecy and power.
Moneyball (2011)
Starring Brad Pitt and based on a true story, Moneyball offers a captivating insight into the unconventional approach taken by the Oakland Athletics baseball team to build a competitive roster using statistical analysis. This sports drama showcases innovation and critical thinking in the world of sports management.
Klute (1971)
Klute is a gripping thriller that masterfully weaves together elements of suspense and character-driven drama. Jane Fonda delivers a remarkable performance as Bree Daniels, a complex and independent call girl, while Donald Sutherland shines as John Klute, the detective investigating a missing person case with ties to her. Alan J. Pakula’s direction and Gordon Willis’s cinematography create a moody and atmospheric New York City backdrop that adds to the film’s overall intensity.
