What Movies Can You Watch On Hbo Max

So, you've got HBO Max. Good for you! But now comes the real question: what the heck are you going to watch?

Scrolling through endless options can feel like a full-time job. Let's be honest, sometimes the sheer volume of choices is paralyzing.

The Obvious Choices (and Why I Sometimes Skip Them)

Okay, let's address the elephant in the room. There's the Harry Potter franchise. Of course, there is Game of Thrones (the earlier seasons, anyway).

And let's not forget DC movies galore! Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman – they're all there, ready to save the world (or, you know, fight each other).

But here's my unpopular opinion: sometimes, I'm just not in the mood for superheroes or wizards. Sue me!

Hidden Gems and Guilty Pleasures

Now we're talking! This is where HBO Max really shines. It has so many hidden gem.

Ever heard of Search Party? It's a dark comedy that starts with a missing person and spirals into absolute chaos. Trust me, it's brilliant.

And if you're in the mood for something totally ridiculous, check out The Righteous Gemstones. It's about a family of televangelists who are…well, let's just say they're not exactly righteous.

Don't forget the documentaries! HBO Max has some seriously gripping ones. True crime? Check. Nature documentaries that will make you question everything? Double check.

My current obsession is documentaries about cults. What can I say? I find them fascinating (from a safe distance, of course!).

The Throwback Movies That Make You Feel Old

Prepare for a wave of nostalgia. HBO Max has a surprising number of classic movies.

Think The Goonies, Gremlins, and other 80s staples. Perfect for a cozy night in with a big bowl of popcorn.

Or maybe you're more of a 90s kid? They've got those too! Just be prepared to feel ancient when you realize how long ago those movies came out.

"Did Space Jam really come out that long ago? I feel so old!"

I'll admit, I often find myself re-watching movies from my childhood. It's comforting, okay?

Animated Adventures (For Kids and Adults!)

Don't underestimate the power of animation. HBO Max has a great selection of cartoons, both for kids and for adults who are still kids at heart.

Adventure Time is a must-watch. It's weird, wonderful, and surprisingly profound. Don't judge it by its goofy appearance.

And for the grown-ups, there's Harley Quinn. It's raunchy, violent, and hilarious. Definitely not for the little ones!

So, the next time you're staring blankly at your HBO Max screen, remember this: there's something for everyone. You just have to dig a little.

Happy watching!
