Already blazed through all the latest releases in theaters this month? Not to worry — we’ve cherry-picked the very best of what’s new to Netflix, Max (formerly HBO Max), Prime Video, and Hulu this month.
Our roundup of the best movies to hit streaming includes James Cameron’s romantic disaster film Titanic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Palme d’Or-winning drama Shoplifters, the Coen brothers’ neo-western crime thriller No Country for Old Men, and several other fantastic films.
Let’s dive in!
Year: 1997Genre: Historical romance, disasterRun time: 3h 14mDirector: James CameronCast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane
The recent tragedy (or unforced error) of the Titan submersible implosion and the upsurge in orca whales ramming boats on the Atlantic coast of Spain and Portugal have instilled a newfound fear, fascination, and respect for the ocean across the internet. For these reasons, now is as perfect a time as any to watch James Cameron’s epic dramatization of the infamous sinking of the Titanic. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio star as Rose Dewitt Bukater, the wealthy fiancée of an arrogant steel baron, and Jack Dawson, and an itinerant orphan. The pair meet and fall madly in love with one another while traveling aboard the Titanic’s tragic maiden voyage.
Cameron’s film is as astonishing today as when it first premiered, a rapturously beautiful and heart-wrenching tale of romance, hubris, class, and survival. Don’t be intimidated by the film’s three-hour run time — the experience is guaranteed to be one you’ll never forget.
