Chinatown

Streaming on July 1

Roman Polanski's Chinatown has long been regarded as one of the best movies ever; it is a pinnacle of neo-noir nihilism that has withstood the test of time 50 years after its release. The movie offers a multi-layered narrative that explores themes of corruption, power, and morality, all under the skillful performances of Jack Nicholson as the private detective Jake Gittes and Faye Dunaway as Evelyn Mulwray. The ending of this one will leave the viewer floored.

While the plot of Chinatown is rather intricate, in typical classic noir mystery fashion, it all starts with a girl. It begins with detective J.J. "Jake" Gittes, hired by a woman claiming to be Evelyn Mulwray, to investigate her husband, Hollis Mulwray, under suspicion of infidelity. However, the movie offers plenty of twists and turns, unearthing many dark truths and shocking revelations. Chinatown is streaming on Max on July 1.

Brokeback Mountain (2005)

Streaming on July 1

Groundbreaking for its representation, Brokeback Mountain made a huge impact on release, becoming a critical darling and picking up three Oscars. The movie follows Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, two cowboys who develop a complex romantic and sexual relationship in a contentious time and place for gay men, 1960s Wyoming. The story spans decades, with the two hiding their feelings from family and their annual meetups being their one respite where they can be their true selves.

While the movie proved to be a landmark in storytelling for the LGBTQ+ community, it resonates with universal themes of forbidden love and sacrifice that will make it appeal to a wider audience. The movie also beautifully captures Wyoming in the 1960s, with a sharp visual direction and perfectly constructed score. If that is not enough to draw you in, Jake Gyllenhaal and the late Heath Ledger give some of the best performances of their respective careers. Brokeback Mountain is streaming on Max on July 1.

Lady Bird (2017)

Streaming on July 1

Greta Gerwig's directorial debut film showed that she was set to become a dominant creative voice in the industry. Lady Bird is a must-watch coming-of-age film, offering a poignant and humorous exploration of adolescence, family, and self-discovery. Gerwig accomplished this through Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson (Saoirse Ronan), who dreams of escaping her hometown for the allure of the East Coast, whose major hindrance comes from a dotting mother, Marion (Laurie Metcalf), holding her back.

The movie was a critical success, nominated for five Oscars, three BAFTAs, and eight Critics' Choice Awards. Those who fell in love with Barbie should do themselves a favor and check out Gerwig's first film, which remains one of, if not her best, works to date. Lady Bird is a compelling and emotionally satisfying watch that will resonate with audiences long after the credits roll. Lady Bird is streaming on Max on July 1.

Signs (2002)

Streaming on July 1

While The Sixth Sense is generally considered M. Night Shyamalan's masterpiece, Signs remains one of the director's most memorable projects. The movie follows recently widowed Graham Hess (Mel Gibson), who, after finding crop circles at his farm, slowly discovers that the symbols hide a sinister truth: an impending alien invasion. Graham and his family prepare for the invasion, boarding themselves in their home and fighting off the mysterious figures as they appear.

While most viewers will remember that one iconic scene where alien life is captured in a news report, Signs has more to offer than just a creepy, pervasive atmosphere in typical Shyamalan style. Viewers will find thoughtful commentary on the nature of belief and the power of human resilience when faced with extreme circ*mstances. Add stand-out performances from Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix, and Signs is a must-watch. Signs is streaming on Max on July 1.

Love Lies Bleeding (2024)

Streaming on July 19

For many, Love Lies Bleeding will be the most exciting addition to the catalog, with the A24 title carrying the visual and artistic flair that many have come to expect from the production company. The neo-noir romantic thriller set in 1989 follows Lou, a reclusive gym manager, and Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder, whose relationship drags them into a dark criminal underground.

Led by a phenomenal performance from Kristen Stewart and a break-out role for Jena Malone, Love Lies Bleeding unfolds an unforgettable tale of madness in a gritty, blood-soaked fashion. Visually rich, subversive, and with a dark wit, the A24 production is the perfect addition to Max this July for those viewers looking for films with a bit of bite and style in abundance. Love Lies Bleeding is streaming on Max on July 19.
