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+
    A hearing teen in a deaf fishing family chases her love of singing. It's warm, funny and honest about family, and the cast, including deaf actors, makes it feel real.
  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.

  1. Severance 96% · 2022 · ages 12+
    Office workers whose memories are surgically split between work and home slowly start to wonder who they are. It's eerie, funny and beautifully designed, a slow burn that pays off.
  2. Silo 95% · 2023 · ages 13+
  3. Dickinson 93% · 2019 · ages 13+
  4. Defending Jacob 92% · 2020 · ages 14+
  5. Long Way Round 91% · 2004 · ages 12+
  6. Ted Lasso 90% · 2020 · ages 13+
    Ted Lasso is a warm, funny show about an optimistic American football coach in English soccer. Its kindness never turns smug, and the best episodes mix real emotion with sharp comedy. Viewers love it.
  7. Black Bird 90% · 2022 · ages 15+
  8. Prehistoric Planet 90% · 2022 · all ages
  9. Lessons in Chemistry 90% · 2023 · ages 12+
  10. See 89% · 2019 · ages 14+
    A bold post-apocalyptic fantasy set in a world where sight is a lost, mythical thing. The ideas and world-building are interesting, and Jason Momoa is a commanding lead, but the writing gets uneven and silly.
