Best Movies on Peacock Right Now

The 100 best movies you can stream on Peacock in the US this month, ranked by Kernel Score. Each pick includes our verdict and a parents' age guide. Updated 2026-10-12.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. The Silence of the Lambs 89% · 1991 · ages 15+
    A young FBI trainee has to get help from an imprisoned killer to catch another, and the two lead performances are chilling and precise. It is dark and violent but tightly made, and still a model for the genre.
  12. American Psycho 89% · 2000 · ages 15+
    A sleek, very dark satire of 1980s greed, built around an investment banker who may be a killer. Christian Bale is superb, but it is graphic, cold and not for the squeamish.
  13. Requiem for a Dream 89% · 2000 · ages 16+
    A harrowing, brilliantly made film about four people whose addictions wreck their lives. It is among the most powerful anti-drug films but very hard to watch, with a dark and relentless ending.
  14. Nobody 89% · 2021 · ages 15+
    Bob Odenkirk plays a dull suburban dad with a violent past, and it's a lean, funny, hard-hitting action film. It runs under an hour and a half and doesn't waste time, though the story is thin.
  15. Monty Python and the Holy Grail 89% · 1975 · ages 8+
    King Arthur and his knights search for the Holy Grail in a medieval comedy that is silly, quotable and endlessly inventive. Decades on it's still funny, and it works even on a cheap budget.
  16. The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil 89% · 2019 · ages 15+
  17. All My Life 89% · 2020 · Rated PG-13
  18. Bilby 89% · 2018 · all ages
  19. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 88% · 2011 · ages 11+
    The closing chapter of the whole series is fast, emotional and rewarding if you've followed the characters from the start. It rewards loyal fans and doesn't work well as a first film.
  20. Get Out 88% · 2017 · ages 15+
    Jordan Peele's debut starts as a tense, funny meet-the-parents weekend and turns into sharp horror about race. It's well acted, tightly built, and the scares come from idea as well as shock.
  21. Apocalypto 88% · 2006 · ages 15+
    A young Mayan hunter flees through the jungle after raiders destroy his village. It's an extremely violent chase film with remarkable stunts and a clear, driving story, and the middle hour is hard to look away from.
  22. Ip Man 88% · 2008 · ages 15+
    The story of the kung fu master who taught Bruce Lee, set during the Japanese occupation. Donnie Yen's fight scenes are superb, and the drama around them is simple but solid.
  23. Night of the Living Dead 88% · 1968 · ages 15+
  24. Ne Zha 88% · 2019 · ages 8+
  25. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 87% · 2001 · ages 6+
    A charming family fantasy that sets up Hogwarts and its characters well. It's a bit stiff as a film, but the world is a joy and it's a good first step into a long series.
  26. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 87% · 2002 · ages 7+
    The second Harry Potter film is a more mystery-driven, spookier follow-up with a fun cast. It runs long and feels a little by-the-book, but it's warm, inventive and good for younger viewers.
  27. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 87% · 2007 · ages 11+
    The fifth Harry Potter film is darker and more political, with Harry isolated as the school turns against him. It's a little rushed, but it's tense, and the last fight is a highlight.
  28. Shrek 87% · 2001 · ages 6+
    Shrek tweaks fairy tales with jokes aimed at parents and a surprisingly warm story about an ogre who finds friends. Some of the pop-culture gags show their age, but the characters and heart still work.
  29. Life of Brian 87% · 1979 · ages 15+
    A man mistaken for the Messiah can't get rid of his followers. It's a sharp, silly satire of blind devotion, and Monty Python's best-regarded feature still gets laughs.
  30. The Crow 87% · 1994 · ages 15+
    A murdered musician comes back from the grave to avenge himself and his fiancee. It's moody, rain-soaked and very stylish, and it's also a cult favourite, though the story is thin and the tone is relentlessly bleak.
  31. Let the Right One In 87% · 2008 · ages 15+
    A quiet, chilling Swedish vampire film about a bullied boy and the strange girl next door. It's a tender friendship story and a horror film at once, and it's patient, moving and unlike most vampire movies.
  32. Redeeming Love 87% · 2022 · ages 11+
  33. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 86% · 2009 · ages 9+
    A quieter, slower Harry Potter film, more about secrets, teenage crushes and a looming threat than spectacle. It works as a setup for the finale, and its mood suits fans.
  34. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 86% · 2010 · ages 11+
    The story finally leaves school and sends three friends on the run, which makes it bleaker and more adult. The camping stretches drag a little, but it works as a tense first half of a finale.
  35. The Super Mario Bros. Movie 86% · 2023 · all ages
    A bright, fast, good-looking family adventure that is packed with nods to the games. It is lightweight and the story is thin, but kids and game fans get plenty of fun for under two hours.
  36. Train to Busan 86% · 2016 · all ages
    A zombie film set almost entirely on a train, and it's fast, scary and surprisingly moving. A father trying to protect his daughter gives it a heart that most horror lacks.
  37. Hot Fuzz 86% · 2007 · ages 14+
    Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg turn every British village crime cliche into an action comedy. It's very funny, and the final act is a joyful, over-the-top shootout that rewards the slower setup.
  38. The Fly 86% · 1986 · ages 15+
    A scientist tests his teleporter on himself and a fly gets in. It's grotesque, but it's also a moving tragedy, and Jeff Goldblum's performance gives it real heart.
  39. Kubo and the Two Strings 86% · 2016 · ages 6+
    A boy with a magic instrument and origami goes on a quest through feudal Japan. The stop-motion is superb to look at, the story is moving and darker than most family films, and it's thoughtful.
  40. The Book of Life 86% · 2014 · ages 6+
    A vivid, funny animated film about a young man torn between family duty and his dream. It looks distinct and has lovely music, though it is a little busy and has a familiar love-triangle shape.
  41. The Holdovers 86% · 2023 · ages 15+
  42. Hunt for the Wilderpeople 86% · 2016 · ages 11+
  43. Fist of Legend 86% · 1994 · ages 15+
  44. Under the Same Moon 86% · 2007 · ages 6+
  45. Arrival 85% · 2016 · ages 11+
    Arrival treats first contact as a puzzle about language and grief rather than a fight. It's patient, quiet and emotional, and Amy Adams anchors it. The ending reframes everything that came before.
  46. Shaun of the Dead 85% · 2004 · Rated R
    A zombie film that is also a very British, very funny comedy about a man who is slow to grow up. The jokes are sharp, the gore is real and, underneath, it's surprisingly warm.
  47. The Croods: A New Age 85% · 2020 · all ages
    The Croods meet a smarter, more modern family and have to share their paradise. It's bright, silly and good-natured, with gags that land for kids and enough wit to keep parents amused.
  48. The Fabelmans 85% · 2022 · ages 11+
  49. Frankenstein 85% · 1931 · ages 11+
  50. The Man from Nowhere 85% · 2010 · ages 15+
  51. The Motorcycle Diaries 85% · 2004 · ages 11+
  52. How the Grinch Stole Christmas! 85% · 1966 · all ages
  53. Bride of Frankenstein 85% · 1935 · ages 11+
  54. You're Not You 85% · 2014 · ages 11+
  55. Blue Bayou 85% · 2021 · ages 15+
  56. To End All War: Oppenheimer & the Atomic Bomb 85% · 2023 · ages 15+
  57. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 84% · 2016 · ages 8+
    This is a lighter, quirkier spin-off with a shy wizard, a magical suitcase and a fun creature-chase setup. It is charming, though its plot is thinner than the main Harry Potter story.
  58. Sin City 84% · 2005 · ages 15+
    Robert Rodriguez's near word-for-word adaptation of Frank Miller's comics looks like nothing else, in black-and-white with splashes of colour. It's stylish and brutal, with thin characters and heavy violence.
  59. The Birds 84% · 1963 · ages 11+
    Birds start attacking a quiet California seaside town for no stated reason. It's slow to start and the effects look dated, but the unexplained dread and the final shot still work, and it remains one of Hitchcock's most unsettling films.
  60. Promising Young Woman 84% · 2020 · ages 15+
    A woman targets men who prey on others, and the film mixes bright pop style with a very dark story. Carey Mulligan is excellent. It's provocative and sharply made, but the tone swerves can unsettle.
  61. We Need to Talk About Kevin 84% · 2011 · ages 15+
    Tilda Swinton plays a mother trying to understand how her son became capable of a terrible act. It's cold, stylish and full of dread, but it's grim and gives few answers.
  62. The Omen 84% · 1976 · ages 14+
  63. Stuck in Love 84% · 2013 · ages 14+
  64. The Invisible Man 84% · 1933 · ages 11+
  65. Saw 83% · 2004 · ages 16+
    A low-budget, nasty thriller built on a clever trap and a nasty twist. It is gory and uneven, but the ending is memorable. It is for horror fans, not for those squeamish about torture.
  66. Ip Man 2 83% · 2010 · ages 13+
  67. Dog Man 83% · 2025 · all ages
  68. My Name Is Francesco Totti 83% · 2020
  69. Shrek 2 82% · 2004 · all ages
    A sharp, funny sequel that many think rivals the original. Packed with fairy-tale jokes and strong supporting characters, notably Puss in Boots, it is lively and clever for both kids and adults.
  70. Scream 82% · 1996 · ages 14+
    A clever slasher that jokes about horror rules while also working as a proper scary film. The opening is famous for a reason, and the whodunit keeps you guessing.
  71. Five Nights at Freddy's 82% · 2023 · ages 11+
    A night guard takes a job at an abandoned pizza restaurant full of animatronic mascots. It's a PG-13 horror that fans of the games enjoy, but the scares are mild and the story is thin.
  72. Coherence 82% · 2014 · ages 11+
    Eight friends at a dinner party notice strange things after a comet passes. It's a clever, low-budget sci-fi puzzle that gets better the less you know, and the improvised dialogue feels real. A little patience pays off.
  73. Labyrinth 82% · 1986 · ages 8+
  74. Trolls Band Together 82% · 2023 · all ages
  75. Sophie's Choice 82% · 1982 · ages 15+
  76. The Commitments 82% · 1991 · ages 15+
  77. Warhorse One 82% · 2023 · ages 13+
  78. Jiang Ziya 82% · 2020
  79. The Rock 81% · 1996 · ages 15+
    Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage team up to stop a rogue general threatening San Francisco from Alcatraz. It's loud, silly and fast, and the two leads carry it as high-gloss 90s action.
  80. The Lovely Bones 81% · 2009 · ages 14+
    A murdered teenager watches over her family from a dreamlike afterlife. Saoirse Ronan is excellent, but the film's heaven imagery and uneven tone split viewers.
  81. Close Encounters of the Third Kind 81% · 1977 · Rated PG
    Spielberg's wonder-filled UFO story is more about obsession and awe than aliens. The pacing is slow, but the final sequence still lands.
  82. Point Break 81% · 1991 · ages 15+
    An FBI rookie goes undercover with surfing bank robbers. The plot's far-fetched, but Kathryn Bigelow's action scenes and the Reeves-Swayze pairing make it far more fun than it has any right to be.
  83. The Boondock Saints 81% · 1999 · ages 15+
  84. Stranger Than Fiction 81% · 2006 · ages 9+
  85. Spirit Untamed 81% · 2021 · all ages
  86. On Golden Pond 81% · 1981 · ages 8+
  87. American Me 81% · 1992 · ages 15+
  88. Psych: The Movie 81% · 2017 · ages 8+
  89. Half Brothers 81% · 2020 · ages 8+
  90. From Dusk Till Dawn 80% · 1996 · ages 15+
    Two criminal brothers on the run end up in a bar full of vampires. The first half is a tense crime story and the second is a loud B-movie horror romp. It's gory fun if you like that swerve.
  91. Collateral 80% · 2004 · ages 15+
    A cab driver finds his passenger is a contract killer and is forced to drive him around Los Angeles for the night. It's a tense, stylish Michael Mann thriller, with Tom Cruise unusually cold as the killer.
  92. Red Dragon 80% · 2002 · ages 15+
    A solid, polished serial-killer thriller with strong actors. It doesn't match Silence of the Lambs, but it's well paced and easy to follow.
  93. Begin Again 80% · 2014 · ages 11+
    A songwriter and a washed-up music exec make an album on the streets of New York. It's warm, charming and full of good songs, and it's light in a way that works.
  94. Last Night in Soho 80% · 2021 · ages 14+
    A young fashion student slips into 1960s London in her dreams, and glamour turns to dread. Edgar Wright's thriller has dazzling style and great music, though the last act gets messy.
  95. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 80% · 1974 · ages 15+
    Young travellers meet a family of killers in rural Texas. It's short, raw and relentlessly tense, more disturbing for what it implies than what it shows. Horror fans consider it essential.
  96. Remember Me 80% · 2010 · ages 11+
    Robert Pattinson plays a troubled young New Yorker who falls for a girl with her own family grief. It's a sincere tearjerker with a famous, divisive ending. Whether it moves you or feels manipulative depends on you.
  97. Ip Man 4: The Finale 80% · 2019 · ages 11+
  98. The Dark Crystal 80% · 1982 · ages 8+
  99. Ride On 80% · 2023 · ages 6+
  100. Tai-Chi Master 80% · 1993 · ages 15+
