We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best free movies, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video.

Cujo (1983)

You’ll lose count if you try to name every single movie based on a King novel. Most of these adaptations are on paid streaming services, but not Cujo, which can be found on Pluto TV. Based on the 1981 novel of the same name, Cujo features a kind St. Bernard that transforms into a ruthless killer after a bat bite.

The dog, Cujo, turns its attention toward Donna (Dee Wallace) and her son, Tad (Danny Pintauro), who are stuck inside their car in the blistering heat. Remember: it’s only a movie. 99% of dogs are lovable creatures, but Cujo represents the 1% of evil canines.

Stream Cujo on Pluto TV.

Goodfellas (1990)

For Goodfellas to be the best movie from Martin Scorsese, it must be pretty darn special. Based on Nicholas Pileggi’s book Wiseguy, Goodfellas dramatizes the life of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), a teenager who works his way up in the Brooklyn-based mafia.

Along with Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci), Henry becomes a true gangster, one with money, power, and fame. If the first half chronicles Hill’s rise, the second half depicts his disastrous fall, plagued by drugs, prison, and death.

Stream Goodfellas on Tubi.

A Walk to Remember (2002)

With all due respect to 1999’s Message in a Bottle, 2002’s A Walk to Remember is the first movie that introduced most audiences to Nicholas Sparks. Set in North Carolina, rebellious teenager Landon Carter (Shane West) begins spending time with Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore), the local reverend’s daughter.

Jamie has one rule for Landon: don’t fall in love with her. Eventually, Landon falls for Jamie, who must reveal her secret before it’s too late. Sparks will break your heart and put it back together before the credits roll.

Stream A Walk to Remember on Tubi.

When Apple launched its streaming service in 2019, the entertainment world treated it with polite skepticism. Fast forward to 2026, Apple is now on the verge of securing an EGOT, the coveted sweep of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony, after picking up its first-ever Tony Award nominations.

The tech giant earned 12 nods for Schmigadoon!, a stage adaptation of its original Apple TV musical series. With wins already under its belt for television and film, all eyes are now on the June 7 ceremony to see if Apple can complete the prestigious sweep.

5 great Netflix shows to watch on New Year’s Day and beyond
The cast of XO Kitty.

New Year’s Day is one of the easiest days to end up scrolling Netflix without actually committing to anything. The problem isn’t a lack of options, but choosing something that fits how you’re likely to watch, which usually means a show that starts quickly or keeps a steady rhythm without demanding too much attention.

Whether you’re recovering from a late night or just easing into a slower start to the year, the right show can do most of the work for you. This list narrows it down to five that are particularly effective right now, not just because they’re popular, but because they’re built for this kind of viewing. Some are structured for fast, high-retention binges, others are easier to sit with, and a couple justify a more focused watch if you’re in the mood to engage. Each one fits the kind of momentum that makes getting through a full season or a limited series feel natural, whether it’s today or any other day you want something that holds up without effort.

The film is a feature-length expansion of a 2023 viral short of the same name. That original short was itself one of the earliest films to use OpenAI's creative tools.
