5 Must-Watch Movies on HBO Max This Month

Alien: Romulus
HBO Max recently added five films from the Alien franchise, including the latest installment, Alien: Romulus, which arrived on April 3rd. This provides the perfect opportunity to revisit a stone-cold classic. Even for those who typically avoid horror, the atmosphere and tension of Ridley Scott’s seminal sci-fi horror feature are captivating. Watching Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) outsmart the terrifying Xenomorph aboard the Nostromo remains endlessly entertaining.

Game Night
Before directing the fantasy adventure Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein co-directed this hilarious comedy caper. Game Night follows Max (Jason Bateman) and Annie (Rachel McAdams) as their weekly game night takes a wild turn when Max’s brother gets kidnapped. What starts as a murder mystery quickly spirals into a chaotic adventure.
-
The Devil Wears Prada
With a highly-anticipated sequel on the horizon, now is the perfect time to revisit the iconic comedy, The Devil Wears Prada. The film follows college grad Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) as she navigates the cutthroat world of fashion at Runway magazine, facing off against her formidable boss, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep).
-
The Mummy
HBO Max has added the entire Mummy trilogy, but the original is undoubtedly the best. This action/adventure film takes us back to the 1920s and the Sahara Desert, following treasure hunter Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraser) and librarian Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) as they accidentally resurrect the vengeful Egyptian high priest Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo).

Twister
Rounding out the list is one of the greatest disaster movies ever made: Twister. If you enjoyed Lee Isaac Chung’s Twisters, be sure to check out the original. The film follows storm-chasing scientists Dr. Jo Harding (Helen Hunt) and Bill (Bill Paxton) as they pursue violent tornadoes in Tornado Alley, collecting data that could save lives.
