Go to Peacock for the best movies streaming now.
Quick Links The best movies on Peacock deliver a mix of both popular franchises and lesser-known films that deserve more appreciation. A relatively new addition to the world of streaming services, Peacock was primarily created as a way for NBCUniversal to make its series and films available without having to use a third party. After launching in 2020, Peacock has gradually built a solid subscriber base, with a solid lineup of new Peacock movies added regularly.
Despite poor reviews upon release, underground hit The Boondock Saints became a defining 90s cult classic. The movie stars Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus as fraternal twins who turn to vigilantism in order to protect their predominantly Irish Boston neighborhood. The movie was a box office failure when the studio only gave it a bare minimum theatrical release, but it found huge success on home video and remains popular over two decades later.
Although the movie has been endlessly parodied – largely thanks to its iconic "Houston, we have a problem" line – Apollo 13 remains a tense and thrilling docudrama. Chronicling the real-life Apollo 13 space mission that nearly ended in disaster, Howard's movie utilizes extraordinary set design and fantastic performances from its central quartet to bring the terror and pressure to life, as the group of trapped astronauts battle against the odds to return to Earth safely.
In the late 1980s, Kevin Costner was arguably approaching the peak of his powers – exemplified by two successful baseball movies. While Bull Durham was his most critically acclaimed effort, it was Field of Dreams that remains his most beloved decades later. In the movie, Costner stars as Ray, a man living on a corn farm in Iowa who begins to hear a voice telling him, "It you build it, he will come.

Although the studio has produced several hit movies, their most acclaimed remains Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit.
One of the all-time great break-up movies, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a sincere and heartfelt story about overcoming heartbreak and finding true love. The movie follows composer Peter Bretter as he navigates the emotionally rocky waters on the other side of a relationship. Deciding he needs a break, he books a vacation to Hawaii, only to discover that his ex and her new partner are already resident at the hotel.
Despite the movie's deliberately drawn-out narrative and convoluted ending, Meet Joe Black is a richly-layered fantastical drama, boasting impressive performances from a stellar cast. Exploring the aftermath of a Faustian deal between Death and businessman Bill Parrish, Meet Joe Black sees Death experience what life is like as a mortal, only to fall in love with Parrish's daughter in an ill-fated romance.
Made in 1966 and directed by Sergio Corbucci, this quintessential Spaghetti Western stars Franco Nero as a Union soldier-turned-drifter who travels the land with his companion Maria after saving her from Mexican bandits and a racist ex-Confederate officer. In this first movie, Django helps the people of a small town overcome the extortion and threats of Major Jackson and his Red Shirts.
An orthodox Western, in that it doesn't feature the genre's usual tropes of a vengeful protagonist in pursuit of brutal frontier justice, First Cow is nonetheless a powerful drama about friendship and the dangers of greed. Set in 1820s Oregon County,t the movie sees a baker and his friend attempt to start a business selling cakes in a remote town.
read more The Harry Potter Franchise Directors: Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, David Yates | Runtimes: VariousOne of the most culturally significant series ever released, the Harry Potter saga remains a defining story for multiple generations. Following the adventures of an orphaned boy wizard and his friends as they battle against the dangerous dark lord Voldemort, the films are a broadly faithful retelling of J.K. Rowling's seminal novels.
George Romero changed everything about the zombie genre with his 1968 movie Night of the Living Dead. Before this seminal hit, the zombie genre was mostly rooted in misunderstood Haitian voodoo rituals. However, Romero created a new lore of the dead rising from their graves and feeding on the living with this movie, at a stroke creating the modern zombie genre. The movie was also groundbreaking for bringing a Black hero to the lead in a horror movie.
