HBO Max has recently expanded its movie library with exciting new additions in February. Watch With Us is eager to dive into these selections over the weekend.

The platform offers a diverse range of options, from iconic comedies to beloved romance dramas and classic Old Hollywood films. Selecting only three favorites from this extensive list was a challenging task.

Recommended Movies

• Marie Antoinette (2006): Directed by Sofia Coppola, this biographical drama stars Kirsten Dunst as the French royal. The film follows Marie Antoinette's journey from her marriage to King Louis XVI to her tumultuous reign during the French Revolution.
• The Shape of Water (2017): Guillermo del Toro's fantasy drama tells the unconventional love story between a mute woman and a humanoid amphibious creature in 1960s Baltimore.

HBO Max's February lineup features a mix of high-quality classics and new content, offering viewers a refreshing selection of movies and shows that may not typically receive mainstream attention.

While Marie Antoinette received mixed reviews for its unique portrayal of history, it is praised for its hyperrealistic approach and exploration of themes like female isolation. Similarly, The Shape of Water captivates audiences with its emotional narrative and standout performances by Sally Hawkins and Doug Jones.

Malcolm X, with its lengthy runtime, showcases the remarkable journey of the iconic activist and boasts powerful performances, particularly by Denzel Washington, who earned an Academy Award nomination for his role.
