Here are our lists of the best movies and TV shows on Netflix, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video and the best of everything on Hulu and Disney+. (Note: Streaming services sometimes remove titles of change starting dates without notice.) The list below is an effort to recommend a diverse range of movies - old and new, foreign and domestic, all-ages and adults-only - that cross genres and cultures while appealing to casual and serious movie-watchers alike.

WarnerMedia, which owns HBO, is a huge conglomerate, and its premiere streaming service comprises decades of titles from Warner Bros., Turner Classic Movies and Studio Ghibli, as well as new work produced directly for HBO Max. But, if anything, its movie library draws from a much deeper well. When HBO Max debuted in May 2020, subscribers rightfully expected (and got) the formidable catalog of prestige television associated with the HBO brand.
