A few weeks after Adam Sandler tore the links with the sequel to Netflix’s “Happy Gilmore,” he arrived at Eddie Murphy’s latest Amazon and teamed up with another “SNL” alumnus Pete Davidson. But whether you’re funny or scary, services like HBO Max, Peacock, Hulu, and more offer movies on your favorite devices. Check out the California retrofest with Pedro Pascal and Tom Hanks, the odd Stephen King story with Double the Theo James, and the new take on sci-fi classics with ice cubes.
Here are 10 new and well-known movies you can stream now:
“Borderline”
In this dark comedy set in the 1990s, the pop star (Samara Weaving) recently returns to her mansion when a runaway mental patient (Rainicholson) and a superfan breaks into the house in hoping to marry her loved one. Attractively indifferent, Nicholson is likable enough to take a bit of root for his antagonist.

“Crown of the Cornfield”
This clever, comedy novel reinvention focuses on a teenage girl (Katie Douglas) who travels to a small Missouri farm town. This place has a dark past, not only due to the burning out of local corn syrup factory, but also because of the violent clown named Friend who creeps up young people. Perfect for horror demons who want more plots in Gore.

“Final Destination Bloodline”
The 2000s horror franchise has returned after a long break. Kaitlyn Santa Juana plays a college student who knows her grandmother had deceived her death decades ago, and now she is taking the whole family with her through various creative Gnarly’s Rube Goldberg-Eskek Kills.
Where to see: HBO Max
“A strange story”
Pedro Pascal has appeared in about 57 films this year, but there’s nothing like this weird looking Throwback Action B-Movie. The “Fantastic Four” star plays the enforcer in a mission of revenge in a story intertwined with the Nazi-stop youngsters, rap battles, ninja hoop stars and crusty Tom Hanks set in Auckland in the 1980s.

“rock”
Usually, Bill Skarsgard is the man who creeps up people. (Pennywise or Nosferatu, no one?) But he is the recipient of this thriller. Skarsgård plays a young, petty thief jacking a car. However, this souped vehicle is actually a trap, and its mysterious owner (Anthony Hopkins) aims to teach him a lesson.
Where to see: Hulu
“monkey”
Based on Stephen King’s short story, Osgood Perkins’ gory and a glorious, ridiculous horror comedy unleash Theo James as an estranged twin who is trying to remove the cursed monkey toy, a portent of death. It is a highly demented, interesting and insightful story with mortality and blood bucket themes.

“My Oxford Year”
Anna (Sophia Carson) is a New Yorker who realizes her life dream of going to Oxford University to study poetry. In a romantic drama, things get complicated when they fall violently for her TA, Jamie (Corry Milkleast), based on a novel by Julia Whelan.

“Pickup”
The constant buddy joke between Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson is a wonder to allow this robber flick to be monitored. Armored truck driver Russell (Murphy) is approaching retirement, approaching a cash pickup job with the young lazy Travis (Davidson) when the latter is snookered by a criminal (Keke Palmer) and falls into a high-stakes robbery situation.

“World War”

Those who stir bad movies for fun, please! Ice Cube plays a domestic terrorist dealing with alien invasions in this “screen life” thriller (app, text, email, video chat) that remakes the classic sci-fi Tale of HG Wells. Like the fate of the world that lies in buying Amazon online, it immerses you in the cheesy, ridiculousness of product placement.

“evil”
If you haven’t seen the hit musical and the prequels of The Wizard of Oz in theaters, on demand, or in Peacock, it may be time to check out on Amazon. Or, to revisit Oscar-nominated Cynthia Ellivo and Ariana Grande’s fantasy featuring Pulse Elfaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda before the highly anticipated sequel, Wicked: For Good, arrives in November.
