10 Best Movies New to Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, HBO (November...

It’s no secret that the past few days / weeks / months have been stressful. But the absolute best genre if you need a pick-me-up is the humble rom-com. Movies about beautiful people solving relationship problems in 90 minutes are pleasures that no one needs to feel guilty about. This month, we think HBO Max subscribers are getting one of the greatest rom-coms ever made 13 Let’s continue 30while Netflix gets the fun, cute teen adaptation of The scarlet letter, Simply A..

If you’re a little freak who’s scared, two awesome horror films are moving to new streaming services in November. Danny Boyle’s zombie film, which introduced the concept of the fast moving undead, 28 days later, goes to Amazon Prime as the creepy movie credits the revival of the found footage genre, The Blair Witch Projectgoes to Hulu.

And if that’s not enough to look forward to, Disney Plus’ Lego Star Wars holiday special falls on November 17th, and before you ask, yes, it shows everyone’s favorite green kid with big ears.

13 Let’s continue 30

If you wanted to say that 13 Let’s continue 30 is the best romantic comedy ever made, there would be slim arguments against it. The film is magical in every way, from its cast – winner Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo – to its premise in which Garner’s 13-year-old self who wants to be “thirty and flirtatious and flourishing” is magically granted . Part of the fun is watching Garner impersonate a teenager into the body of a (high-performing corporate) adult, but the real allure, of course, is watching two people who have always loved each other finally gain the courage muster up to realize this. – Karen Han

13 Let’s continue 30 will continue to be streamed HBO max.

28 days later

Posted by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, destruction) and by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog millionaire), 28 days later revived the zombie apocalypse genre for the new millennium. Bike courier Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma to find London deserted. Soon he will be attacked by people infected with an angry virus. Jim eventually joins some fellow survivors trying to escape London after learning of a potential sanctuary a few hours away. If this sounds familiar, it is very similar to the opening of the Walking Dead (although creator Robert Kirkman promises it’s a fluke).

28 days later will continue to be streamed Amazon prime.

The Blair Witch Project

Groundbreaking work in the found footage genre, The Blair Witch Project wrings maximum fear from a minimal budget. It’s framed as the restored footage of three film students who disappeared while making a documentary about an urban legend called The Blair Witch. The footage shows creepy things happening to them (stones stacked around their camp, stick figures hanging from trees, hearing laughter and screams at night) before they are attacked by an invisible force and drop their cameras. The writer-directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez had the idea – where else? – at film school and reportedly spent around $ 60,000 on production.

The Blair Witch Project will continue to be streamed Hulu.

Guys around

John Singleton’s feature film debut is a loose adaptation of his own experiences in South Central Los Angeles. It features Cuba Gooding Jr. as Tre, a smart but angry boy who is sent to see his father when he gets into an argument at school. Ice Cube (who wrote the NWA song that gives the film its title) plays Tre’s friend Doughboy. Singleton died of a stroke last year, but his legacy will live on Boys n the Hood. The film earned him two Academy Award nominations – making him the first nominee for Black Best Director – and is now on the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry.

Guys around will continue to be streamed Netflix and Amazon prime.

Simply A.

Teen comedy adaptation of classic literature is one of my favorite genres. From Clueless to 10 things I hate about you, they are always so fun and fresh and just a joy to see! Simply A. Nathaniel Hawthornes takes over The scarlet letterwith Emma Stone as a bitch-ashamed teenager who leans on her new reputation. The supporting cast is fantastic, from Amanda Bynes as prudish Marianne, Penn Badgley as Olive’s love interest, and Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci as Olive’s crazy parents Rosemary and Dill.

Simply A. will continue to be streamed Netflix.

The elephant man

David Lynch’s weather reports were one of the things that aided us through quarantine, but did you know he’s an accomplished filmmaker too? His second feature film stars John Hurt as the famous elephant man John Merrick (his name was actually Joseph). Shot in black and white and with immense empathy for the subject, The elephant man isn’t as surreal and trippy as some of Lynch’s other work (eraser, Mulholland Drive, Twin peaks).

The elephant man is streamed on the Channel criterion.

The iron giant

Before Steven Spielberg reused the towering piece of sentient metal as the ultimate weapon Ready player one, The Iron Giant was the late ’90s response to ET: an otherworldly stranger who fell into the hands of the right youth. While the giant’s oversized learning experiences and heroics are the real joys of Brad Bird’s 2D animated film, it’s Hogarth Hughes – the epitome of an uncool comic book reader, the antithesis of 1950s masculinity, and an ideological opponent of everything in the Cold War happens – who makes this one of the last science fiction masterpieces of the 20th century. – Matt Patches

The iron giant will continue to be streamed HBO max.

Rey gets a visit from Christmas The past day in the Lego Star Wars Christmas Special from Disney Plus. The trailer for the upcoming celebration shows Rey finding a power crystal (?) That gives her the opportunity to travel through time and land in iconic moments from the history of the franchise. (Yes, Baby Yoda included.) If this new Holiday Special is anything like the 1978 one Star Wars Holiday Special We will have a fun time.

Lego Star Wars holiday special will continue to be streamed Disney Plus on November 17th.

The prestige

Also known as “that other movie about an illusionist, no not The illusionist” The prestige is quietly Christopher Nolan’s best film. Actor Christian Bale (fresh from Batman begins) as a stage magician trying to defeat his rival (Hugh Jackman), The prestige has everything you could want from a science fiction thriller: Double Crossing, magical set pieces and David Bowie as Nikola Tesla.

The prestige will continue to be streamed Hulu.

Wild, wild west

Anything I could say about Wild, wild west would pale in comparison to Will Smith’s music video for the song he wrote for Wild, wild west. So, let’s go.

Wild, wild west will continue to be streamed HBO max.
