says there are 10 new and notable movies you can stream right now, and the list is built for anyone looking to fill a night at home without digging through endless menus. GOAT, an underdog sports flick produced by NBA star Stephen Curry, is now streaming on Netflix and leads a slate that also includes fresh options on HBO Max, Prime Video and other services.
GOAT follows Will Harris, voiced by Caleb McLaughlin, a smaller hoop hopeful who cannot get on a roarball court because larger beasts will not let him. A chance pickup game gives him a shot with his hometown team, but he still has to prove himself to the squad, including his idol Jett, voiced by Gabrielle Union. The movie is one of the clearest examples of why the best movies to stream right now can still feel like a ticket to a real crowd-pleaser: it mixes underdog stakes with a built-in family audience and a familiar sports climb.
There is more variety in the roundup than the headline title suggests. Greenland 2: Migration catches up with engineer John Garrity and his family five years after a comet wiped out much of civilization, then sends them out of a survival bunker in Greenland when it becomes unlivable. The family heads on a perilous journey toward possible salvation in France. A documentary about Martin Short traces his comedy life, his early years in SCTV and SNL, and the coterie of bizarre characters that made him a fixture, while also presenting him as a loving family man.
Two of the new films lean into romance and character-driven drama. In the Italian romantic comedy, Elisa is a single mom running an estate in a Tuscan town when Michele returns home as her childhood friend, and the reunion ignites new feelings and attractions. The heartwarming dramedy with Sally Field stars her as Tova, an aquarium cleaner who looks out for an octopus named Marcellus, and a bum ankle pushes Tova to train Cameron on the job.
The roundup also reaches into darker territory. Lucy Liu stars as a terminally ill widow in a drama based on a true story, and her teenage son is diagnosed with schizophrenia. Rachel McAdams plays a strategy expert and Survivor superfan in Sam Raimi's dark comedy thriller, where she gets stuck on a deserted island with her sexist tech-bro boss, played by Dylan O'Brien. In another animated comedy, Ollie and Ivy come from rival species, and a mystical orb lets them see what it is like to live the other's existence.
The list cuts off after noting that Tasmania is devastated by an experimental event, which makes the final title incomplete in the source text. Even with that gap, the message is plain: the streaming field is crowded, but the newest batch offers something for nearly every mood, from family-friendly comedy to disaster survival, from true-story drama to offbeat animated fantasy.
