Max has tons of great TV shows and movies. This makes it the best streaming service available today. But while HBO's shows are the talk of the town, its movie library is incredibly deep, with new movies constantly being added each month.

While there is a wide variety of options to choose from this month, a clear top seven emerged as we went through the list. Thankfully, they cover a wide range of genres, from creepy comedies to pure slasher horror, action movies and award-winning dramas. Some of the best bad movies ever made.

Now you're ready to watch. Here are seven of my favorite movies new to Max this month.

Let's be clear - by any objective measure, "A Night at the Roxbury" is not a good movie. It is an incredibly sophomoric comedy that would probably never be made today. But this is a list of Max's new favorite movies, not a list of Max's new best movies. And I'd be lying if I said that "A Night at the Roxbury" was not clearly one of my seven favorite newly released films on Max this month. Here's why. Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan are funny anyway--and "A Night at the Roxbury" is no exception.

The plot of the film. Basically, the piggybacking brothers Steve (Ferrell) and Doug (Cattan) try to get into Roxbury's nightclub and eventually open one of their own. But the plot is not important. What matters is that in 82 minutes, we get to enjoy a dated '90s comedy and an equally dated but really good soundtrack. In fact, the soundtrack may be the best part of the film. It has sold at least 500,000 copies and was certified gold by the RIAA.

"Beetlejuice" may be in the news lately for an unexpected reason, but with Max you can see Tim Burton's classic just in time for Halloween. If you want to see "Beetlejuice," you'd better hurry. Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse," but don't come back.

Starring Michael Keaton in the lead role, Betelgeuse (pronounced Beetlejuice) has an acting cast. Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis play the recently deceased Adam and Barbara Maitland. When Charles Dietz (Geoffrey Jones), Delia Dietz (Catherine O'Hara), and Lydia Dietz (Winona Ryder) suddenly move in and start changing everything, the Maitlands call Betelgeuse to get rid of the Dietzes. What follows is a spooky comedy not to be missed.

"Wild Speed 7" is arguably the last great "Wild Speed" film. It is also the last "Wild Saga" film to feature Paul Walker, who died in a car accident during the filming of "Wild Speed 7". Ultimately, director James Wan put a lot of effort into finishing the film so that Walker's character, Brian O'Connor, could ride off into the sunset instead of being killed.

But aside from the sentiments behind Furious 7, it is also a great action film. There is an aerial drop sequence that is one of the best stunts in the Fast and Furious series, but is relatively tame compared to the stunts that would appear in subsequent films. Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, as well as antagonists Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham, who makes a brief cameo in the previous film) and Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell), are also featured, but the family is all here. Yes, "Wild Speed 7" may have completely abandoned the "point break, but cars" idea that the original "Wild Speed" had, but it will still be hard to miss.

"Get Shorty" tells the story of Miami loan shark Ernest "Chili" Palmer, a criminal turned movie producer. John Travolta gives an excellent performance as Palmer and is joined by a stellar cast. Gene Hackman plays Hollywood B-movie director Harry Jim, who at the same time with Miami gangster Ray "Bones" Balboni (Dennis Farina), drug dealer/film investor Bo Catlett (Delroy Lindo) and Ronnie Wingate (John Gries) Trouble. Rene Russo as Karen Flores, Danny DeVito as Martin Weir, and James Gandolfini as Bear also star.

"Get Shorty" has had several sequels made over the years--the sequel "Be Cool," which can be seen on Max, and a TV series that ran for three seasons in 2017. But believe me, I want the original, not a copy. Fans of "Justified" are also encouraged to watch it. Get Shorty" is based on Elmore Leonard's 1990 novel of the same name. The same Elmore Leonard who wrote "Justified".

"Scream" may have been parodied and copied to death by now, but the original 1996 Wes Craven film is still great and well worth seeing. The slasher movie follows a group of California teens who suddenly have to survive a series of now-famous ghostface murders. Starring David Arquette as Deputy Sheriff Dewey Riley, Courteney Cox as journalist Gail Weathers, and Neve Campbell as the high school students who make up the cast of Scream.

What makes "Scream" so great, however, is not the plot itself, nor the textbook slasher movie quality of Craven's direction. What makes "Scream" so great is how it satirizes the slasher genre while simultaneously paying homage to horror films. The film was originally developed under the title Scary Movie. This title is the same one used in Keenen Ivory Wayans' 2000 parody film that made fun of "Scream" and many other horror films. So if you only watch one slasher film in your life, make sure it is "Scream". There is no need to see any other film. [Although referenced in many films, including "The Godfather" and "American Gangster," the original film about the French Connection was this 1971 film by William Friedkin. Friedkin's film is based specifically on Robin Moore's nonfiction book and follows the investigation of two New York City detectives attempting to expose an international drug trafficking network.

The film version of The French Connection stars Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider as Detectives Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle and Buddy "Claudie" Russo. Their pursuit of millionaire French heroin smuggler Alain Charnier (Fernando Rey) was one of the best films of all time, winning numerous awards and nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor Academy Awards. Objectively, it is the best film to be released at the Max this month. So if I could only recommend one movie to watch, it would be this one.

Before Wonka was born, before Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was born, there was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Timothée Chalamet as the eccentric chocolatier would have made a great film, but the real Willy Wonka is and will always be Gene Wilder in this adaptation of Roald Dahl's fairy tale.

Indeed, as an adult, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" becomes a bit more complicated. The film was already weird as a kid, but the more you think about it, the weirder it gets. And the less time you spend thinking about the controversial author Roald Dahl, the better. Ultimately, though, Rotten Tomatoes describes the film as "strange yet pleasant." That comfort, combined with Wilder's iconic performance, is why I included it on this list.

Although critically panned, the original version of "Final Destination" was so popular with horror fans that it spawned a franchise film. This was largely due to the rather novel concept of "if you cheat death, you will be hunted down."

In "Final Destination," high school student Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) has a premonition that the plane he and his classmates are about to board will explode mid-flight. After the events that keep Alex and his friends away from the plane and attempt to save their lives from the explosion, Alex's classmates begin to die mysterious deaths. Despite Sawa's acclaimed performance, which is by no means a masterful piece of acting, Final Destination is an enjoyable film for those looking for an original horror film to watch during the spooky season.

While not as reverentially discussed as the original "Blade Runner," "Blade Runner 2049" is beloved by critics and audiences alike. The film takes place 30 years after the original version, and Ryan Gosling plays Detective KD6-3.7, aka "K," a replicant working as a "Blade Runner." In the course of his work, K discovers a conspiracy that eventually leads him to Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) - a former Blade Runner and protagonist of the first film.

Gosling and Ford give excellent performances in Blade Runner 2049, but frankly, the best thing about the film is the visuals. It is no surprise that cinematographer Roger Deakins won an Oscar for one of his five Oscar nominations (he won two).
