Best Movies on Peacock Right Now
- Memento 96% · 2000 · Rated R
A revenge thriller told in reverse, so you're as confused as the hero, who can't form new memories. It's clever, bleak and rewards a second viewing, and it puts you inside his head. - Saving Private Ryan 95% · 1998 · ages 15+
Spielberg's D-Day opening is among the most intense battle scenes ever filmed, and the rest follows a small squad sent to find one soldier. It is graphic, humane, and asks what a life is worth. - No Country for Old Men 94% · 2007 · ages 15+
A tense, bleak crime thriller about a man who takes drug money and the calm, unstoppable killer chasing him. The Coens build suspense with silence and space, and the ending divides viewers. - Obsession 94% · 2026 · ages 15+
A horror film about a wish that goes wrong, built on the unsettling idea that getting exactly what you want can be the worst thing that happens to you. Viewers rate it very highly, which is unusual for a new horror release. - Catch Me If You Can 93% · 2002 · ages 11+
Spielberg's true-story caper follows a teenage con man and the FBI agent chasing him, and it's light, stylish and quietly sad. DiCaprio and Hanks are great together, and the 1960s look is a pleasure. - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 91% · 2004 · ages 7+
The best of the Harry Potter films, with a more grown-up tone, more creative look and a good mystery. It works well even if you've only seen one other film in the series. - Psycho 91% · 1960 · ages 15+
A woman steals money and stops at a lonely motel, with a famous shock that changed horror. Hitchcock builds dread slowly, and the film still works as a tense, unsettling thriller. - Oppenheimer 90% · 2023 · ages 14+
A dense, powerful biopic of the man who led the atomic bomb project, told with a stellar cast and big ideas. It's long and talky, but it holds attention, and it is the work of a director at full strength. - Coraline 90% · 2009 · ages 8+
Henry Selick's stop-motion fantasy about a bored girl who finds a too-perfect parallel home is creepy, inventive and kind to its heroine. It really is scary for younger kids. - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 89% · 2005 · ages 8+
The fourth Harry Potter film turns darker, with a dangerous tournament, a growing threat and the first real feeling that the stakes are high. It's busy but entertaining, and the tone shift works.
Best TV Shows on Peacock Right Now
- The Office 97% · 2005 · ages 12+
A mock-documentary look at the staff of a paper company, full of awkward bosses and slow-building romance. It's endlessly rewatchable, and it earned its place as a modern sitcom benchmark. - Supernatural 92% · 2005 · ages 12+
Two brothers drive across America hunting monsters, and it's a creepy, funny, family-focused show that lasted fifteen seasons. The early seasons are the strongest, and later ones get repetitive. - Brooklyn Nine-Nine 92% · 2013 · ages 12+
A New York police station sitcom that's warm, fast and rarely mean. The cast has terrific chemistry, the jokes land often, and it's easy to watch many episodes in a row. - Bones 92% · 2005 · ages 12+
A forensic anthropologist and an FBI agent solve murders from bones. It's a comfortable procedural with likeable leads and a slow-burn romance, and a lot of episodes. It rewards fans of the case-of-the-week format. - The Day of the Jackal 92% · 2024 · ages 14+
- Mayday 92% · 2003 · ages 12+
- The Vampire Diaries 91% · 2009 · ages 12+
A teen supernatural soap about vampire brothers and the girl between them. It is melodramatic and long, but fans enjoy the twists, the romance and the way it keeps changing its story. - The Originals 91% · 2013 · ages 14+
A vampire-family spin-off set in New Orleans that leans on melodrama, big feuds and sibling loyalty. It builds its own world beyond the show it came from, and viewers rate it highly. Best for committed supernatural-drama fans. - Grimm 91% · 2011 · ages 12+
A Portland homicide detective learns he descends from monster hunters, and each case comes with a fairy-tale creature. It is a fun, easy mix of police procedural and fantasy that gets better as the long story builds. - Yellowstone 91% · 2018 · ages 15+
A glossy, violent modern Western about a ranching family defending its land. It is melodramatic and often soapy, but the scenery, the feuds and the strong leads make it very easy to keep watching.
