 The Best Movies Right Now on Peacock

You've come to the right place if you want to know what movies you can watch on Peacock. The NBCUniversal streaming service came out in the summer of 2020 with many movies and TV shows from NBC and Universal's libraries. In January 2021, The Office became the only show that could be streamed on that service. But since there are so many streaming services, it's understandable if you just want to know the basics about Peacock and what you should watch first.

Peacock has three levels of service: free, premium, and premium plus. You may already have Peacock Premium for free if you pay for cable. That's good news because the full library of content is only available in Premium and Premium Plus. And what do you know? There are some pretty good movies to choose from at Peacock. You can stream a wide range of comedies, thrillers, and dramas there. So, we went through the Peacock library to find the best books and list them. Here is our list of the best movies you can watch right now on Peacock.

The Harry Potter Series of Movies (2001-2011)

Run Time: 19:38 | Genre: Fantasy | Directors: Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell, David Yates

Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Alan Rickman, Ralph Fiennes

Yes, you can watch the whole series of one of the best and most popular movie series ever on Peacock. Whether you're watching them for the first time or the hundredth, the Harry Potter movies are a fun, emotional, magical adventure and also pretty great movies on their own. This is a franchise where the characters grow up with the source material, and as the movies go on, they start to deal with more adult themes. This is something that every teen needs to see. by Adam Chitwood


NOPE (2022) (2022)

Run time: 2 hours and ten minutes. Genre: horror/science fiction. Director: Jordan Peele.

Cast: Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, Michael Wincott

NOPE is another masterpiece from Jordan Peele, who is a genius at making scary movies. In the movie, OJ (Daniel Kaluuya) and Em (Keke Palmer) are two siblings who train horses for movies. Jupe (Steven Yeun) runs a theme park and was a child actor who saw something terrible happen. You want to go into this one not knowing much more than that, because the surprise and not knowing is one of the best parts, but trust us: NOPE tackles complex themes with refreshing nuance, and the performances are amazing. – Gates Taylor


Puss in Boots (2011)

Running time: 1 hour and 30 minutes; type: animated comedy; director: Chris Miller

Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, and Zach Galifianakis are in the movie.

In Puss In Boots, Antonio Banderas plays the cute swashbuckling cat he played in the Shrek movies. Even though it's an origin story, the animated movie takes the classic story of the outlaw cat and makes it into a new story. It adds new characters, like the thief Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek), and gives us a better understanding of the main character and his dapper swagger. More well-known fictional characters, like Jack and Jill and the Golden Goose, add to the story. This lets Puss in Boots subvert the fairytale genre by giving these characters more backstories and roles in their own stories. Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis), a former orphan who grew up with Puss and betrayed him in the end, makes a great appearance. – Yael Tygiel


Mamma Mia! (2008)

The movie lasts 1 hour and 48 minutes and is a musical romantic comedy. Phyllida Lloyd is the director.

Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgard play the main characters.

Mamma Mia! is a jukebox musical based on ABBA's biggest hits. It's about a young bride-to-be (Amanda Seyfried) who invites three men (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgrd) to her wedding because any of them could be her father. Even though the movie got mixed reviews when it first came out, it has since become a cult favorite and has a well-loved and well-received sequel. We all know and love ABBA's songs, which helps, but the movie's heartfelt story and amazing cast make it easy to overlook its flaws, especially Pierce Brosnan's singing voice. Mamma Mia! is funny, clever, and warms your heart. Its music never gets old, and neither does the movie. - Arianne Binette


Bridesmaids (2011) (2011)

Running time: 2 hours and five minutes; comedy genre; director: Paul Feig

Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendy McClendon-Covey, Ellie Kemper, Jon Hamm, and Chris O'Dowd are in the cast.

Bridesmaids, which came out in 2011, still holds up very well and is one of the funniest movies of the 21st century. Kristen Wiig plays a single woman in her mid-30s whose best friend, played by Maya Rudolph, is getting married. It's hard to plan the bridesmaid party with the bride's rich new friend, played by Rose Byrne. Bridesmaids is very funny and has a heart that makes the characters real and easy to relate to, especially when it comes to how friendships work. There's also a scene where all the women with bridesmaid dresses on get diarrhea. — A. Chitwood


Pitch Perfect (2012)

Running time: 1 hour and 52 minutes; musical comedy; Jason Moore is the director.

Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, and Skyler Austin play the main characters.

Anna Kendrick, who was in "A Simple Favor," plays Beca, a moody outsider who doesn't want to go to Barden University for her freshman year. Beca wants to be a music producer, so she joins the all-girl singing group The Bellas against her will. There, she finds her best friends and a support system, including the hilarious and easy-to-quote character Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson). Pitch Perfect is not only a movie about music and female friendships but also a beautiful love story with all the elements of a classic rom-com that leads Beca to her soulmate Jesse (Skyler Austin). Pitch Perfect is a musical comedy about college a cappella groups. It has a great cast, including Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Broadway star Ben Platt (from Dear Evan Hansen), and singer/songwriter Ester Dean. This movie gave the world its first taste of the Cups song and made Kendrick and Wilson well-known names. – Yael Tygiel
