HBO Max is famous for its spectacular series. Some of the best in history are undoubtedly there. However, it also has a good handful of films on its platform that are masterpieces. Therefore, we bring you the 10 best movies that you can watch for free on HBO Max . Or at least, the 10 best according to the note they have on IMDb.
And we started going back to the 60s and, at the same time, traveling to a future that was already 20 years ago. A mess, I know, but it is that in tenth place is …
10. 2001: A Space Odyssey
Either you love it or you fall asleep (in that case, get out of here), but 2001: A Space Odyssey by Kubrick is movie history and you have it on HBO Max.
It reaches an 8.3 on Imdb and influenced almost all the science fiction that came after it.
9. Spider-Man: A New Universe, the Oscar-winning animated film
Surprise, perhaps, but it is the best Spider-Man movie and the best Marvel superhero movie. And i mean it. It also won the Oscar for best picture . Animated, yes, but in the year that Green Book won the statuette for best picture overall, it is certainly the real winner.
An 8.4 on Imdb and a movie that has it all, spectacular animation, humor, perfect music …
8. Casablanca
Classic incunabula, with a humor and a story that is no longer made. You can relive some of the most mythical scenes in film history and finally realize why it is considered a masterpiece.
It has an 8.5 on Imdb and deserves at least one more point . It takes you a while to see it and see that certain classics give a thousand turns to many movies today.
7. Interstellar
Oh Nolan and the blind devotion to this director… Interstellar is good, it has an 8.6 on Imdb and it is worth it .
There is also Origin , the same note and also available on HBO Max, but I’m not jokingly putting it on this list. I don’t understand how that film has so many worshipers, so I’m going to pretend it’s not there.
6. Seven
David Fincher scored his best picture, with an incredible style that later became imitators everywhere. In addition, a Brad Pitt who was beginning to detach himself from the image of a handsome hunk to get into that of a serious actor. An 8.6 on Imdb and a must-have title .
Tension to the end, pun intended, and a very good chemistry from Pitt and Freeman.
5. Matrix
Now back with Matrix 4: Resurrections , the original and one-of-a-kind Matrix is on HBO Max to watch for free and hits 8.6 on Imdb. It should have more note, really.
It’s funny how well it has aged, because even that already retro technology adds charm to it. A milestone in the cinema with a score of 8.6 on Imdb and better not to mention the Matrix sequels.
4. Forrest Gump
Robert Zemeckis scored an unforgettable movie in Forrest Gump and that earns him a very high notable with an 8.7 on IMDb thanks to the most endearing and clever fool in movie history.
One of those that you never tire of seeing over and over and over again.
3. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
With an 8.9, bordering on the outstanding, appears the third part of The Lord of the Rings . He swept the Oscars and went down in history closing a perfect trilogy .
In fact, the trilogy is complete and it is an ideal time to revisit it in its entirety, why not? It has more soul than 99% of the movies I’ve seen in the last year. And I go every week, at least once.
2. The Dark Knight
The second installment in Nolan’s Batman trilogy, yes, Nolan again, but he deserves it. Light years away from the other two installments, the best superhero movie reaches an A-1 on IMDB with a 9.0 and you also have it available for free on HBO Max.
And yes, Heath Ledger is huge and he puts the film on his back. If you haven’t seen it at least a couple of times, it’s time to revisit it.
1. Life imprisonment
The highest rated movie on IMDb (ahead even of The Godfather or Citizen Kane ) is on HBO Max and is a Frank Darabont classic, based on a Stephen King story that has nothing to do with horror.
The unforgettable story of the inmates of a jail in this masterpiece that achieves a score of 9.2. Deserved.
As you can see, there is everything for everyone, but above all, there is a lot of good. True classics that are worth seeing in the comfort of the living room and without paying admission.
