The TV Answer Man – Follow me on X.

Peacock today (March 1, 2025) has added 99 new movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the five best, in my humble opinion.

The Big Lebowski (1998) – Coen Bros. Comedy Masterpiece
The 1998 cult comedy from the Coen Bros. features an iconic Los Angeles slacker (Jeff Bridges) named ‘The Dude’ who accidentally becomes the focus of a murder investigation.  Only Joel and Ethan Coen could take this farfetched plot and turn it into a cultural mainstay and 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.

Zero Dark Thirty (2012) – Quintessential Film On Bin Laden Hunt
Director Kathryn Bigelow’s intense 2012 drama starring Jessica Chastain as a relentless CIA agent who hunts for the masterminds behind the 9/11 attack on America. The film was seen by some as glorifying the extralegal tactics required to obtain leads in the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. But it fairly characterizes the pain and zeal felt by the intelligence/military personnel at the time. And Chastain is riveting as a CIA case officer who can’t sit still (literally) until she finds her man.

The Hurt Locker (2008) – Intense War Drama
The brilliant 2008 Iraqi war drama stars Jeremy Renner as a munitions specialist who’s ready to blow. There have been many films that strive to show the horrors of war after the soldier comes home but few have done it better than The Hurt Locker. Renner’s character becomes addicted to war’s adrenaline rush and is never able to live normally again. It’s a great performance.

Kill Bill, Volume 1 and 2 (2003, 2004) – Tarantino’s Homage to Kung Fu Films
Quentin Tarantino’s ode to the great martial arts films of the 1970s. Uma Thurman stars as a betrayed assassin who seeks revenge on the crew who tried to kill her. (We’re counting the two films as one because QT does.) The Kill Bill movies may be too gory for some, but Tarantino displays the action with a master’s touch and the supporting cast, which includes Michael Madsen, Lucy Liu, David Carradine, Daryl Hannah and Vivica Fox, is superbly sublime.

Salt (2010) – Angelina Jolie As Action Star
Directed by Phillip Noyce, Salt is a pulse-pounding espionage thriller thanks to Angelina Jolie’s dynamic performance as CIA officer Evelyn Salt. Accused of being a Russian spy, Salt must evade the good/bad guys while finding evidence of her innocence. The film’s intricate plot twists, heart-pounding action sequences, and Jolie’s captivating portrayal make for an exhilarating cinematic experience, albeit occasionally veering into implausibility.
