Max Adds 79 New Movies Today – Here’s the 3 Best
Max today is adding 79 new movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three best, in my humble opinion:
Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
Happy New Year! 2024 marks the 60th year since the world was graced with this brilliant satire of Cold War politics from director Stanley Kubrick. Peter Sellers plays three roles, including the psychotic Dr. Strangelove (modeled, some say, after Henry Kissinger) and the president of the United States (modeled, most say, after serial presidential candidate, the effete Adlai Stevenson.)
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1966)
When jobs started to dry up in Hollywood, Clint Eastwood went to Rome to team up with Spaghetti western director Sergio Leone and the rest is history. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, the first in the Eastwood/Leone’s ‘Man With No Name’ trilogy, is a classic epic set against the backdrop of the American Civil War. The expansive desert landscapes and intense close-ups contribute to the film’s visual brilliance and Eastwood is great along with a gritty supporting cast including Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. (Max today has also added the next two films in the trilogy, A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More.)
Escape From Alcatraz (1979)
Speaking of Clint, Eastwood reteams here with his Dirty Harry director, Don Siegel, for a gripping and suspenseful film about the real-life 1962 prison escape from the Alcatraz prison off the California shore. The film is exceedingly attentive to detail, capturing the harsh life the prisoners sought to leave behind. Eastwood plays Frank Morris, the mastermind behind the three-person escape, which, to this day, leaves many crime scholars baffled over how it was done.
