Action & Thrillers
When you want your pulse racing and your eyes glued to the screen, Peacock’s action lineup delivers. Fast & Furious Franchise — The entire high-octane saga is available to stream, from the street-racing roots of the original all the way through the globe-trotting, physics-defying spectacle of the later entries. Whether you’re revisiting the series or watching for the first time, these films are guaranteed to keep your adrenaline pumping. Grab some popcorn and buckle up. Mission: Impossible Series — Tom Cruise’s relentless super-spy Ethan Hunt returns again and again to pull off the impossible, and every installment manages to top the last in sheer stunt ambition. From the tense Prague infiltration of the first film to the breathtaking practical action of later chapters, the Mission: Impossible series is some of the best action filmmaking of the past three decades. Ambulance (2022) — Michael Bay directs this non-stop thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as brothers who hijack an ambulance after a bank robbery goes sideways. Shot largely with drones and featuring relentless pacing, Ambulance is a visceral, propulsive ride that never lets up from its opening minutes.Drama & Award Winners
For nights when you want something that lingers with you long after the credits roll, these critically acclaimed dramas are essential viewing. Belfast (2021) — Kenneth Branagh’s deeply personal, Oscar-winning black-and-white film captures a young boy’s childhood in 1960s Belfast against the backdrop of escalating civil unrest. Tender, funny, and heartbreaking in equal measure, Belfast is a love letter to a place and time, anchored by extraordinary performances from Caitríona Balfe and Dame Judi Dench. The Lost Daughter (2021) — Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut is a quietly unsettling and masterfully crafted adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s novella. Olivia Colman plays a professor on a solo vacation who becomes disturbingly fixated on a young mother and her child. Layered, provocative, and impossible to shake, this is prestige drama at its finest. Downfall (2004) — This German historical drama depicts the final days of Adolf Hitler in his Berlin bunker as Soviet forces close in. Bruno Ganz delivers one of cinema’s most harrowing and studied performances. Downfall is essential viewing for anyone interested in WWII history and the psychology of collapsing power.Comedy
Sometimes you just need to laugh. Peacock has you covered with an outstanding collection of comedies that hold up across repeated viewings. Bridesmaids (2011) — Kristen Wiig co-wrote and stars in this raucously funny ensemble comedy about a maid of honor whose life begins unraveling as her best friend’s wedding approaches. Honest, chaotic, and genuinely moving underneath all the laughs, Bridesmaids redefined what big-budget comedy could look like and remains endlessly rewatchable. The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) — Judd Apatow’s breakout film turned Steve Carell into a comedic superstar and set the template for a whole era of warm-hearted, raunchy comedies. The jokes land as hard as ever, but it’s the surprisingly genuine heart at the center that makes this one a classic. Knocked Up (2007) — Another Apatow gem, Knocked Up follows the unexpected romance between Seth Rogen’s slacker and Katherine Heigl’s ambitious TV producer after a one-night stand leads to a pregnancy neither planned for. Equal parts hilarious and surprisingly sincere, it remains one of the definitive comedies of the 2000s.Horror & Suspense
Peacock is a premier destination for horror fans, with a library that spans slasher classics, gothic atmosphere, and modern chillers. Halloween Franchise — The entire Halloween saga — from John Carpenter’s original 1978 masterpiece through the recent David Gordon Green trilogy — is available on Peacock. Whether you’re revisiting Michael Myers for the hundredth time or introducing yourself to the series for the first time, this is essential horror viewing any time of year. Dracula (Various) — Peacock’s library includes multiple classic takes on the world’s most iconic vampire, giving you the chance to trace the evolution of one of horror’s greatest characters across different eras of filmmaking. Perfect for a gothic double or triple feature on a dark night. The Black Phone (2021) — Scott Derrickson directs this terrifying supernatural thriller based on Joe Hill’s short story. When a young boy is abducted by a masked killer, a disconnected phone in his basement cell begins ringing — and the voices on the other end might be his only chance at survival. Ethan Hawke is genuinely frightening in the lead villain role.Family & Animation
Peacock has a wonderful selection of animated and family-friendly films that everyone in the house can enjoy together. Despicable Me Series — The beloved franchise starring Steve Carell as reformed supervillain Gru — and his army of incomprehensible Minions — is available in full. Funny, colorful, and genuinely sweet, these films work just as well for grown-ups as they do for kids. Sing 2 (2021) — The animated musical sequel brings back the full cast of anthropomorphic performers for another round of spectacular musical numbers and feel-good storytelling. With a soundtrack packed with recognizable hits and a heartfelt message about chasing your dreams, Sing 2 is a crowd-pleaser from start to finish. The Bad Guys (2022) — DreamWorks’ stylish animated heist comedy follows a gang of criminal animals attempting to go straight — whether they like it or not. Inspired by graphic novel aesthetics and packed with clever humor, The Bad Guys is one of the most visually inventive animated films in recent years and is guaranteed to entertain the whole family.Top Picks This Month
