Where You Can Stream the Buzziest Films of 2024, So Far

Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Williams star in this unapologetically fun remake of the Patrick Swayze action classic. It’s a ridiculously violent popcorn flick that knows exactly what it is.

Millie Bobby Brown puts the “damsel in distress” trope on its head in this action movie full of female empowerment. Plus, Angela Bassett plays her badass stepmother.

Sure this buddy road trip comedy features ridiculous shenanigans and silly jokes. But what we’re really here for is Colman Domingo as the bad guy on their trail. We’ll watch him in anything.

Ava DuVernay’s beautiful film didn’t receive nearly enough attention. Based on the novel “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” by Isabel Wilkerson, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor stars as Isabel as she explores the themes of racism, bigotry and discrimination while writing her book. This film won’t be for everyone, but it offers an emotional, unique story in a world where we get so few of those.

As long as producers and publishers keep trying to make “Black stories,” “American Fiction” will be relevant. The stellar cast delivers such powerful performances, it’s an instant classic.

You can’t recreate a classic film like “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” but that doesn’t seem to stop Hollywood from trying. Timothée Chalamet is charming, but the prequel story doesn’t have the same spark as Gene Wilder’s 1973 version.

“Wish” is an adorable, fun animated movie with a powerful heroine. Ariana DeBose’s voices Asha, a character who is smart, brave, compassionate and beautiful. The music is catchy, and it has a surprising connection to Disney history. It debuts on the streaming service April 3.

If you really want to see this Academy Awards favorite but just couldn’t sit in the theater for three hours, you can break it up into bite sized pieces at home.

This is the last hurrah for the DC Extended Universe. With Warner Bros. rebooting the franchise, this is where we all say goodbye to Jason Momoa in his orange supersuit.

When you stream this one at home, you can rewind and watch “Hell No” as many times as you want.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s brilliant performance as Mary takes center stage in this moving story of three people looking for closure on their pain.

Sorry, Martin Scorsese, more than three and half hours is way too long to process such an emotional film in the theater. If you’re interested, watch this at home where you can take as many breaks as you need.

This is a really fun, kick ass superhero movie with a healthy dose of female empowerment. But don’t take my word for it. Now is your chance to watch “The Marvels” yourself.

In case you haven’t figured out that Colman Domingo is the next big thing, his powerhouse performance as civil rights leader Bayard Rustin is all the proof you need.

Fair warning: “Saltburn” is the kind of weird mess that sticks with you. There’s no shaking this one off.

Sure, America Ferrera’s monologue was amazing, but it’s really about memorizing the “Dance the Night Away” choreo.

Be honest: There’s something familiar and comfortable about watching Jason Statham beat up corrupt bad guys.

Why pay $75-$100 for tickets for the whole family, and again for snacks, when you can pay one rental price and relax at home?

The latest entry in the franchise is really all about seeing Viola Davis as an unapologetic, soulless villain.

If you’re an ‘80s kid you know what a huge deal “We Are the World” was. Now, all these years later we’re finally getting the messy behind the scenes stories.

If you’re looking for a heartbreaking love story that will take you on an emotional roller coaster, “Past Lives” is it.
