Top 7 New Movies on HBO Max for July

HBO Max, formerly known simply as Max, has got quite the lineup of new movies for you to enjoy this July. While the selection may be a bit lighter this month, there are still some real gems to check out as we head into the heart of summer.

One film that’s a must-watch on HBO Max right now is “The Big Lebowski.” This cult classic turned straight-up classic from the Coen Brothers is a fan favorite for good reason. With its irreverent comedy and standout performances, it’s a movie that never fails to entertain. Jeff Bridges stars as Jeffrey Lebowski, aka “The Dude,” in a film that takes a standard premise and twists it into something truly surreal.

Another standout film streaming on HBO Max is “Carol.” Starring Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett, this historical queer romance set in 1952 is a visually stunning and emotionally moving drama. The cinematography in this film is truly a work of art, capturing the story with exquisite precision.

If horror is more your speed, you won’t want to miss “Get Out.” Jordan Peele’s directorial debut is a masterclass in blending social satire with horror elements. The film’s success is a testament to Peele’s skill as a filmmaker and storyteller, and Daniel Kaluuya’s performance is truly unforgettable.

For something a bit lighter, check out “Napoleon Dynamite.” This quirky comedy from director Jared Hess has become a cultural phenomenon, with Jon Heder’s iconic portrayal of the titular high-school nerd. It’s a film that’s as charming as it is funny, and it’s definitely worth a watch.

If you’re in the mood for something a bit more off the beaten path, give “On Becoming a Guinea Fowl” a try. This black comedy/drama from director Rungano Nyoni offers a unique and compelling take on grief and trauma, set in Zambia. It’s a film that will stick with you long after the credits roll.

For the kids (and kids at heart), “Shaun the Sheep Movie” is a delightful animated adventure that’s sure to entertain. Directors Mark Burton and Richard Starzak bring Aardman Animation’s beloved character to the big screen in a film that’s full of humor and heart.

Last but certainly not least, don’t miss “Sinners,” the latest film from director Ryan Coogler. This period horror musical drama is a true standout, with Michael B. Jordan delivering a standout performance in dual roles. Coogler’s unique take on the vampire subgenre makes for a captivating and thought-provoking viewing experience.

So, whether you’re in the mood for comedy, drama, horror, or something in between, HBO Max has got you covered with these fantastic new movies streaming this July. Time to grab some popcorn and settle in for a movie night!
