Spooky season is right around the corner, and the folks at HBO and Max intend to throw a monster mash that will impress the most jaded of every ghoul and goblin out there. But the streamer has more than just tricks and treats to dish out in October. In addition to finally premiering the long-delayed Stephen King adaption Salem’s Lot, the streamer will debut the original series The Franchise, which takes a comedic look into the making of a big-budget superhero movie. Other notable additions to the programming slate include the A24 drama Tuesday with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the streaming debut of MaXXXine, the final chapter in the X trilogy. Editor’s note: This list may not be comprehensive and is subject to change by the network.

Max continues to flesh out its library to ensure its place as an ideal mainstream platform for streaming the best movies. Diversity in its movie selection remains the service’s greatest asset, giving audiences virtually limitless hours’ worth of movies spread across every genre imaginable.
There are bound to be handfuls of movies available for every type of fan, from gangster dramas and sci-fi to comedy and romance. Still, Max’s diverse selection could overwhelm newcomers with the sheer number of choices. This guide is updated monthly to help alleviate the choice paralysis and highlight recent additions of some of the best movies on Max.
The Shining (1980)
The Pitt is one of the best shows so far in 2025. There are many older legacy shows to watch, including The Sopranos and Entourage.
Duster (2025)
It’s a good sign when Max picks up a relatively high-profile sci-fi movie like Companion, because the lineup of science fiction movies on this movie has been stagnant for months.
Companion
Year: 2025
Runtime: 1 hour, 38 minutes
Director: Drew Hancock
