Best Movies on Apple TV Right Now

  1. A Beautiful Mind 93% · 2001 · ages 11+
    A moving drama about a brilliant mathematician whose mind turns against him, held together by Russell Crowe's performance and a strong love story. It takes liberties with the facts but is deeply affecting.
  2. Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me 93% · 2022 · ages 15+
  3. Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry 92% · 2021 · ages 11+
  4. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse 91% · 2022 · all ages
  5. Taxi Driver 90% · 1976 · ages 15+
    A bleak, hypnotic portrait of a lonely New York cab driver sinking into obsession, with Robert De Niro unforgettable and Scorsese's grimy city made vivid. Uncomfortable and violent, but it has barely aged.
  6. CODA 90% · 2021 · ages 11+
  7. Wolfwalkers 90% · 2020 · ages 6+
  8. The Sixth Sense 89% · 1999 · ages 11+
    A quiet, eerie ghost story about a child psychologist and a frightened boy, built on atmosphere rather than gore. The ending is famous for a reason, and the film is moving as well as scary.
  9. Palmer 89% · 2021 · ages 15+
  10. Good Will Hunting 88% · 1997 · ages 15+
    A janitor who is also a maths genius is pushed towards therapy by a grieving counsellor. It's funny and moving, with Robin Williams's quiet scenes the highlight.
