What’s new on HBO’s Max this month, in November 2023? There’s an endless treasure trove of amazing movies and TV series waiting to be watched already on Max, and with the arrival of November, plenty more are on their way, too.
November 2023 sees HBO’s Max adding some of the best movies around to its already mighty collection (you’re probably going to want to rewatch Denis Villeneuve’s mighty sci-fi epic Dune as the Dune 2 release date inches closer). To help you out with what to watch, we’ve put together a complete list of all the new movies and series on Max. If you just want to see what we’re most excited about then we’ve got our highlights right at the top.
New on Max November highlights
Her
Want to see Joaquin Phoenix at his hottest, in a relationship with formless AI? Of course you do! Her is an aching romance, exploring the life of a man whose loneliness and penchant for introversion make him the perfect match for an advanced AI who overturns his life.
They go on dates, with her in his ears, and experience life together for a while. It’s a wonderful premise, and Her is just off-beat enough to be a fascinating watch, while also remaining accessible for all the family.
Elf
We all know and love Elf, and as the Holiday season rears its head now’s the perfect time to sit down and watch the Will Ferrell classic (ideally with mulled wine, and something warm and sweet to eat). Buddy is one of the greatest Christmas movie characters of all time, and will charm his way into your heart whether it’s your first time watching the film, or your 100th.
Aliens
Aliens is one of the greatest sequels ever made because, like all the best sequels, it doesn’t just attempt to remake the first. Instead, it takes the core premise and swaps genres slightly, leaving horror behind for action.
It’s not better than Alien, but it’s just as good and is a brilliantly dark sci-fi action flick to watch as winter begins to settle in. Check out our Aliens review for more thoughts.
