Max Adds 99 New Movies Today – Here’s the 4 Best

Max today (November 1) is adding 99 new movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the four best, in our humble opinion:

Rocky (1976)
Sylvester Stallone plays the loveable pugilist, Rocky Balboa. The original is the best of the multi Rockys over the years with Sly playing the fighter as a flawed everyman who just wants a chance to hit it big. Carl Weathers is a treat as his nemesis, Apollo Creed (clearly modeled after Muhammad Ali), while Burgess Meredith, Burt Young and Talia Shire make up the colorful cast.

Gran Torino (2008)
Gran Torino, directed by Clint Eastwood, is a powerful and thought-provoking film that delves into themes of racism, redemption, and cultural understanding. Eastwood delivers a stellar performance as Walt Kowalski, a Korean War veteran and a grizzled, bigoted widower living in a neighborhood undergoing demographic changes. The film skillfully explores the complexities of prejudice and showcases the transformation of its main character as he forms an unlikely friendship with a young Hmong boy named Thao, played convincingly by Bee Vang.

Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)
Directed by Woody Allen, this is a captivating exploration of complex relationships and human frailties. Set against the backdrop of New York City, the film intricately weaves together the lives of three sisters, played brilliantly by Mia Farrow, Barbara Hershey, and Dianne Wiest. Their intertwined stories, marked by love, jealousy, and existential crises, are portrayed with sensitivity and depth. Allen’s sharp writing and keen observations infuse the film with wit and humor, while also delving into profound themes of mortality and the search for meaning.

Diner (1982)
Directed by Barry Levinson, Diner is a nostalgic and heartfelt exploration of friendship, love, and coming of age in 1959 Baltimore, a time when the Baltimore Colts and rock n’ roll ruled the land. The film masterfully captures the essence of male camaraderie through the lives of a group of young friends navigating the challenges of adulthood. Levinson’s sharp and witty dialogue, coupled with excellent performances by a talented cast including Steve Guttenberg, Daniel Stern, Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon, and Paul Reiser, brings authenticity to the characters and their relationships.
